Pattern is a great way to inject some of your personality into a room as well as introduce colour and highlight specific features or pieces of furniture. There is no right or wrong but there are a few tips you can follow when thinking about pattern in interior design, that'll make the process of choosing and mixing pattern a whole lot easier.
Just like the best colour combinations, pattern works best if mixed and layered rather than just one in a scheme. The trick is to get the right balance of large and small designs so they are not competing. If you lack confidence doing this, look for fabric and wallpaper brands that produce collections where the designs already work together; there will often be one main print, then a series of complementary smaller prints or weaves in the same colour palette that you know are all going to sit well together.
