These patterns could even be used as a theme for wallpapers, printed neatly to a material that's used for walls.

Great inspiration and tips! I always have a hard time mixing patterns. The only thing that has worked for me as I babystep into the trend is mixing subtle patterns, as in tiny stripes with a tight herringbone. I'm going to try to work some of your tips!

Pattern mixing scares the crap out of me! I have experimented with florals and stripes in little doses and I do like it. Next up for me is polka dots and stripes.

My little knowledge about pattern mixing is stay within the same color palette. I have also seen large and small prints mixed.

Love these! x hivenn

Awesome tips! I love playing with prints and second the comment about how stripes and dots go with everything. Just recently created three different outfits mixing floral and stripes with varying amounts of pattern from large, medium to small. Goes to show that you don't have to go bold to mix prints. So happy I found your blog though EBEW, I'm enjoying your posts!

Haha, I have to agree with ThatDamnGreenDress...I have almost stopped considering stripes and polkas a "print" because they seem so neutral to me. haha...that must be part of the Anthro aesthetic taking over.

I think all your tips are fantastic. I definitely tend to follow the guideline of choosing prints that use the same color scheme so that the prints don't seem to be competing with one another.

Thanks for these tips. Im not a regular pattern mixer, but I guess I tend to stick with tip no.1. I can't believe pattern mixing used to be a big no-no. How far we've come!

this is great advice- I love your examples. I'd say another good rule of thumb is that stripes and polka dots go with pretty much everything!
