Large stylistic patterns are in vogue in today’s home decor.  You might have noted that fabrics used in design today have a very retro look.  Patterns are bold and colorful. 

Note in the example above that a traditional damask print has been stylized where the pattern is a much larger and more graphic in design. 

An advantages to larger prints is that the scale compliments homes that have high ceilings.  Larger scale prints add drama to your rooms design.  Designers use large prints in small ways such as on pillows on a sofa or a small accent chair in a room. 

This chair features a Thibaut design, Residence-Baron.  Note the large scale and colorful design adds to the whimsical and lighthearted design.  Yet this chair will stand the test of time with its simple and neat curves.
