Pattern and color are two things that will draw the eye into a room. For the brave at heart, make it bold.
Below is a bold pattern in pink for Pink Saturday. Have a happy one at How Sweet the Sound.

Bold patterns have been around for years. Remember when?

Snazzy, huh? Ok, that is even painful for me to post. But look at the fabric pattern. Would that not be ever so stylish in a smaller dose?
A little bit goes a long ways.
Whether it's a rug, pillow, headboard, artwork, decor piece, light fixture, wall or window treatment or a single piece of furniture - look at how a bold pattern will capture your attention and cause you to focus longer on the space.

A few more pops of pink for Pink Saturday with the pillows, artwork, and books. But the rug is the real attention getter in this show stopping room.
Even a neutral palette is more interesting with bold graphics.

"B" bold!
I love these bold patterns! I've been amassing a really fun collection of bold patterned fabric from the remnant bin to make some pillows. I could see the pattern used in that 70s room looking great in a (single)pillow. Thanks for sharing these inspiration pics.
ReplyDeleteOh my these rooms you showed are amazing! I would love to be featured on your blog!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of course, are the ones that feature a bit of pink! And I liked the soft neutral and the light blue...
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to feature me anytime! :-)

I found your blog today through Pink Saturday and so glad I did! love these photos but my favorites have to be the last two because I love the brown and white combination. Just simply elegant with a touch of warmth.

If my style was anywhere other than my imagination I would have loved to be featured but unfortunately I run more like that psychedelic couch with the matching jumpsuit. Hah....
ReplyDeleteFeature away, my dear!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, your bold design holds its own with Martha, Coastal Living, Veranda, etc.... Great post and thanks for putting your own touch in with these greats...
Bisous,

Love all the pretty bold color accents. So fun to see. However, the last picture is more me and something I can live with day to day. Great post. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for your input with my guest bedroom hunt theme. You mentioned you would like a riding hat and boots. I found mine on ebay very reasonable. $10 for the English Velvet riding hat and $15 for the English tall riding boots. You might check it out. Hugs, Marty
Tammy,
ReplyDeleteGoing bold is calling my name...thanks for the inspiration.
I have two red sofas in my living room and I like lots of bold pillows on them! Great pics! ♥
ReplyDeleteI am more of floral girl, but some of these patterns are fantastic. Never much of a fan of lime green in decor either, but the 2 images with it are really neat! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Pattern is great...it's combining them that is not always easy. I loved this post.

I like anything Coastal Living shows,...also Martha Stewart! But the "My Home Ideas.com" was really pretty too...great rooms!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that green kitchen...that is about as bold as I can get. I need soft and restful...

I've been basement 24/7, so I've had little time to comment (in fact, I'm up here getting a glass of water before I start painting the walls), but just wanted to say I the inspiration pictures were great. If I can get the walls done tonight, we can start laying the floor tomorrow, which means hopefully I'll be using this inspiration SOON!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat examples of patterns! I see that even one piece can make a difference.
ReplyDeleteAnd was that the "snazzy" pic the 1970s? It'll be back. LOL
Oh, forgot to say - If there is ever a post of mine that that somehow relates to what you need, feel free to use it. I can't imagine what it would be, but you are kind to offer the "publicity" to your readers. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo lovin' that GREEN kitchen!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
Thanks for the eye candy! I am drooling over that green kitchen. Yum! The neutral palette with the stripes speaks to me too!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be featured on your blog!

I love bold colors! That turquoise wall accent is so pretty! I've been accused of decorating my home like an Easter egg but I love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
What great images! My favorite was the green kitchen with the gingham ceiling. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures - er, except the one! :)
ReplyDeleteHi i am your newest follower:0) great pictures above ~ the green kitchen is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and would enjoy being featured by you. My style isn't bold though!
ReplyDeleteThese rooms are amazing each with their own style! Thanks for sharing these...I love looking!
ReplyDeleteDenise
Hi Tammy, thanks so much for stopping by and saying hi~ love the bolds..especially the wall with the grandfather clock, wow for some reason that really pops out at me..I wish I had a wall like that to display my grandfather clock!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Barb
Lots of imagination used in these rooms. It's fun to just check out all the different styles!
ReplyDeleteAll the rooms are fabulous.I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Hello sweet B,
ReplyDeleteI love all of your images today, especially the photo of the bold red in your living room. The orange and brown bedroom is lovely and the Martha Stewart kitchen is very sweet. You have shown me though, how a bold color can bring some interest to a neutral color scheme. Thanks for such an interesting post.
Love and hugs, Cindy
What a beautiful selection of rooms - great patterns and many bring back great memories of my childhood!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!! :O)
Happy Pink Saturday Tammy Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what a beautiful share today. You went wild sweet one. I love it.
That black and white room with the pink stool. L-O-V-E, love it. Does that say "Happy" or what?
And that little girls room. How elegant and fun it is. I love the headboard, along with the turquoise walls. What a beautiful contrast. It is so elegant. A dream for any little girl.
I have the perfect place for that grandfather clock. I can hear it chiming already. How gorgeous that is.
Have a gorgeous weekend sweetie. Thank you so much for sharing today. I have so enjoyed my visit. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
I'm too timid to be bold! But I sure do admire those that can pick bold colors for their walls and striking patterns for their furniture fabric. I play it safe every time!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday,
Carol
OMG!! that creamy sea blue bedroom.. but that PINK with the turquoise back ground!!! I WANT IT!!
ReplyDeleteLove your post....again!

Bold and beautiful, indeed. My favorite was the bedroom set with the child sitting on it. Perfect for grandparents who's grandchildren visit occasionally. A bed for company, and a library the rest of the time. Delightful. And lovely for Pink Saturday. :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't help but love those bold colors and patterns. Thanks for brightening my day.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your pretty pictures. Thanks for visiting me today. Blessings ~
ReplyDeleteOh that pantsuit made me chuckle. The green is just lovely though.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteMy life is so full of bold - huge flowered wallpaper is on every wall in our downstairs. Love the pink background with the little cutie on the daybed.
ReplyDeleteLeann
I am planning to do something bold for me, I will be finishing my new bold curtains for my livingroom. It will be quite a change but I am so excited. I will post about the bold transformation soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the color!! and thank you for joining my followers....I am your newest follower as well. Would consider it an honor to be featured on your beautiful blog......

I love that green kitchen, but what amazes me is how perfectly YOUR home blends in with all those "magazine" photos. Stunning, really. I so appreciate you stopping by my little tiny blog and asking me to follow you---you got some skills, girl! I will gladly and eagerly be following you along!!

I'm always impressed by people that can make the color purple work in their home. That is such a risky color and didn't always work.
