Patchwork fabrics or patchwork style is one of the most impressive design trends that can be used to enhance interiors. This technique is inexpensive and allows you to create bright and colourful rooms in a small budget. Patchwork design in interiors can make any space look stylish, colourful, mesmerising and attractive. Sujata Mehta, Director, Zeba Design, guides you with tips to incorporate this unique technique in your home.
- Fabrics, beddings, table linen, curtains, wall art, furniture, tiles etc. inspired by patchwork design, add interest to the interior design of a space. They add life, giving a relaxed look to the interiors. Add some natural wood to create an airy feel.
- Decorative pieces in patchwork pattern become an inspiration for unique home accessories. Combine blocks of various patterns and sizes to create a unique design.
- Sofa chair upholstered in patchwork textiles will certainly become a focal point in any room. The trick here is to avoid colours and designs, which will distract and create confusion in the space.
- When using patchwork patterns in any form i.e. wall tile, quilt, rug etc. it would be best to have monochromatic wall in neutral colours as a perfect backdrop for an attention grabbing piece. The rest of the furniture should embrace the minimalist approach, preferably in neutral colours. Dark walls like grey charcoal can be effective, highlighting the vibrant and bright colours of the patchwork.
- Pattern tiles in patchwork should not be used on the entire wall but only as a feature or highlight wall. This will make the space look more dramatic and attractive.
