Design elements to elevate your home interiors

Patterns are design elements used in a home to add depth, drama and a chic factor to the space. These are designs created on flat 2D surfaces to give them a look that’s lively and almost three dimensional. This works on floors, walls, furnishings or even in the fixtures of a home. Read along to understand how incorporating patterns can elevate your home and bring in a look that makes it come alive.

Types of patterns to use for a home


Contemporary patterns like florals, geometrics, lattice prints etc. bring about a very modern look to a home. While the traditional patterns like ethnic paisleys, tribal prints bring about an old school charm to any space. And then there are classics like damask that work in about any kind of space and are timeless in nature.

Where can patterns be used?

Often residents of a home are confused about where they can incorporate patterns. But it can be very simple. The easiest way of using patterns or designs in any space is to use them on upholstery or soft furnishings. Adding checkered throw pillows or geometric designed curtains can make all the difference. Furthermore, print or patterned upholstered furniture can bring about a new look to any space. This could be a more permanent kind of change, but it can make all the difference.

Another way patterns can become a part of a home are on walls. Creating an accent wall with designs that look aesthetics and change the look and feel of the room are wonderful way designers often use when working with patterns. This brings quirk or depth to any space and changes its look instantly.

Floors are not far behind. Many designers play with patterned flooring and tiles to elevate a space.

“With the entry of Vitrified Tiles, patterns in flooring started taking a back seat. Few of the most beautiful homes in the world have given umpteen flooring patterns. They not only make floors a beautiful visual canvas but can also help organize space without vertical dividers. Letting the flooring patterns flow into fixed furniture or climb walls can make the space look lively, organic and agile” says Ankit Savla, Partner at Studio ASA.

What patterns do for a home?

Patterns are not just design elements that are randomly used in any space. They have a certain meaning and definitely and aesthetic appeal to them.

Reviving the energy of the room is a key function that patterns do. A plain vibrant accent wall or simple marble flooring can be one thing, add some design to it and it instantly transforms the look and energy of the space.

Emphasis and dimension are two things that a space might lack and needs. At times, a pattern could work towards emphasising a certain corner or feature of a home or simply add depth to an otherwise bland space.

“Patterns used in interior design in form of colors, graphics, texture and design elements are a unifying factor to the theme of the interior space. They bring in visual movement and create interest for the users. A well thought of composition with patterns can elegantly transform the space” says Sweta Parab, Senior Architect, MQA Mumbai.

Designs and patterns can change the vibe of the space by adding in drama or quirk. Your home can go from a classic to a boho by addition of patterns to any space in it. An appealing aesthetic balance in designed spaces using patterns can make all the difference to a home.
