Interior designers embrace a delightful blend of color, patterns and textures

Formal powder room walls covered in Botanical Stripe Jade by Liberty

Each year, when we visit the collection of HOMEARAMA® homes, we look for design ideas that may cross over from home to home and stand out as a bit of a theme or trend.

This year, it seems like that theme—or pattern if you will—is patterns, mostly in the form of striking wallpapers. Regardless of whether the homes are monochromatic or completely chromatic in nature, patterns play a big part in their interior designs. In addition to wallcoverings, this may come in the form of fireplace stones, backsplash tiles, paint colors, or fabrics covering chairs and throw pillows.

To help jog your memory after you’ve toured the homes, we’ve selected some of the standouts.
