Mixing color and pattern is an art. Too much can feel chaotic, while a lack of color and pattern can be boring. Look for colors and patterns that complement one another for a stylish design that will feel polished. Here are some of our favorite ways to mix color and pattern to create lively spaces.

This exciting new book showcases some of the most innovative pattern designs, including graphics, textiles, fashion, furnishings, ceramics, tiles, wallpaper, and stationery.

I like Opulent a lot - it's like a super-fancy Optima. Who could resist the charms of Creampuff-Regular? -
I'm no expert of typography, but I do appreciate the variety of fonts -- which could be very upsetting as well when it comes to designing, at least for me. Creampuff is simply one of my favorites, somehow it makes me smile every time I look at it! ;)

ShelternessPattern and color can liven up a kitchen. Love the patterned drum shade pendant light and matchingupholstery on the kitchen chairs. Plates on the wall add more color and pattern.

Need a good laugh before you jump into your next big project and new year? Of course you do! Maybe I should dig out my old rolling stone magazines, I'm sure I can do much better than them.

Portfolio - Sameer Kulavoor - TAXI Design Network - 0 views

Killer JeansTo be honest, Taxi Design Network is quite a place to see something you would never dream of seeing. Take the work you see, Killer Jeans, of this Indian illustrator/designer/artist Sameer Kulavoor for example, strength, composition, skill, and execution are all there in a single piece. In his résumé, he said "without any particular background in graphic design, his liking for art led him to exploring different mediums," and from my point of view, the variety of his works is a solid proof that you would bookmark his website and be a faithful admirer. At 22yrs of age, he has worked internationally in areas like illustration and design for editorial and advertising; motion graphics and animation for web, television and cinema. He has created two Music videos, a few shorts and hundreds of illustrative designs for a vast and varied portfolio of clients, from MNCs to Music Bands. Go take a look, especially when you are desperate for some fresh inspiration. - ian

Humble Voice // GEUCLIDE - 0 views
-
Honestly, I'm not a guy into overmuch, though I alaways admire the idea and labour of creating art. As for geuclide's works, THANKS GOD he knows the boundary and jumps out of the stereotypes skillfully and stylishly. I can pull out a whole package of adjectives to describe his works, one of them is MARVELOUS. As you can see on the left, his abstract appear like an abstract landscape painting, with soft, appealing color schemes, plenty of space around and a bit of darker doodle that brings extra moves and delightful surprise to the image, which basically makes me wanna pick up the phone immediately and ask him how much he would like to sell it. :O) If you can' agree my viewpoint more, go check out his humblevoice gallery, for he has lots of things to feast your hungry eyes.

Edward Hopper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

The image on the left is entitled Nighthawks, which gave me a very strong impression the first time I saw it on a wordpress blog last week and fortunately I saw it again yesterday in a bookstore. Do you see how sharp the light and the building are? and are you just like me, feeling your heart beat faster and faster by the empty but disturbing atmosphere in the painting. If your anwers can't be more positive, it's about time for you to meet another master like Edward Hopper who can teach you some lessons you can't learn from anyone else.

Turquoise is a fantastic color for interiors. It ranges in colors and tones so it can be paired with a myriad of different colors and metals. While turquoise makes a great accent color, we especially love interior spaces with turquoise walls. Kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms all look fantastic with turquoise walls. Turquoise walls can work in any room in your home. It all comes down to choosing the right color turquoise for your style. Check out these interior spaces with turquoise walls and be inspired!

Little Green Notebook Rich turquoise paint on the walls and molding create a dramatic backdrop for this bedroom. Love the tree and birds that decorate the turquoise wall.

Yeah, we all have seen stuff like this, but the elephant, the clown, the tiger and ballons make such a wonderful illustration that we can't help but take a peek in the gallery of this young lad from UK. Thanks God he doesn't let me down, but makes my next trip to his wonderland necessary and definite.
