Recently, I’ve been getting Facebook feeds from Canadian magazine Style at Home. Last week, this room caught my eye:

I’ve been coveting patterned drapes lately so I fell in love with these deep plum and chartreuse ones. But, it’s the layering of pattern in the room that really caught my attention–I love how the bold pattern is on the drapes, then your eye goes to the ottoman and the pattern is not as bold but just enough to balance the drapes, then you get down to the rug and it too has a pattern but even less than the ottoman. What a brilliant way to introduce pattern to a room and not go overboard.

I can’t see all of the light fixture in this shot but I already know I LOVE it.  The yellow dining room chairs help blend the two spaces together.

After falling in love with the initial pic, I had to go to the source and see if I could get a few more views of this gorgeous room designed by Feasby & Bleeks Design. Notice the mixture of metals in this room below….this tells me it’s okay to mix silver end tables with gold. I think it works because both tables have the same lines.

The green vases tie in with the curtains and give the room the right amount of another color without going overboard.  Check out the third side table…gotta love that they added a rustic table to the mix. A room is never complete without something rustic.

Loving how they played it safe here with two bold pillows from the drapes and then two pillows with a nice linen fabric but the backside is the deep plum.

I think this rooms is a perfect mix of plum and yellow…two colors that I would have never had the nerve to pair together. But, with the right amount of pattern and different elements, it totally works.

Please send more rooms like this my way, Style At Home!
