Layering prints is a failsafe way to bring depth and dimension to a space, but in a rustic design scheme, I'll admit that it can feel a little kitschy. That's not to say I don't love a cottagecore-inspired room that could belong in a Nancy Meyers movie – it's just tricky to balance coziness and elegance.
I needn't have worried, however: after one glimpse at Amanda Seyfried's stunning Catskills farmhouse, I've been reminded that pattern layering has the potential to look both charming and sophisticated. The secret? A more restrained color palette.
