3 Ways To Add The Layering Clashes Trend Into Your Home

Layering Clashes is all about celebrating the beauty of contrasts, mixing clashing colours, diverse patterns, and varied textures to create spaces full of character and uniquely personal. If your interior style is eclectic and you love to be experimental with your design choices, then we’re sure this is a trend that you’ll love.

Whilst it might appear this trend is just randomly throwing together prints and hoping it will work, there is an art to mastering this trend. Combining large and small scale patterns with considered colour palettes will achieve a curated and cohesive look. 

The best part about layering clashes is that it can seamlessly adapt to a range of design styles. Whether you're leaning toward a sleek, modern interior with clean lines and contemporary pieces, or aiming for a more traditional aesthetic with vintage accents and classic patterns. Interior design expert, Kelly, advises how you can successfully incorporate this trend into your home. 

How do you bring the trend into your home?

1. Before diving into clashing prints and patterns, choose a base colour palette to anchor your design. Try to choose one common thread in the colour palette, like a bold blue or yellow that can be featured in prints or patterns, even if it’s subtle. This helps keep the overall look cohesive, even when introducing multiple patterns and textures.
   
   
2. Accessorise with quirky decor. This trend is all about infusing personality into the space so select home decor items such as scalloped trays, mis-shaped vases and vibrant lamp shades. This is a perfect way to dip your toes into the trend without fully committing, ideal for those who prefer a more subtle approach to bold interior design.
   
   
3. Get playful with dimensions and shapes. When it comes to selecting your furniture, choose pieces inspired by the Art Deco era – sofas with curvaceous elements, like our Model 05, combined with large, oversized cushions create a fun and playful atmosphere.
   
   
4. Blend large and small-scale patterns. To create dimension, pair intricate prints on smaller items, like a floral cushion or abstract artwork, with a bold, statement piece, like a stripe loveseat or chequered rug. Try to balance the look with solid colours to prevent the room from feeling overwhelming. For example, a block-coloured curtain or sofa can make your print clashes stand out.
   
   
5. Experiment with textures to add tactile interest to your space. Mix and match different textures, such as plush fabrics like velvet, natural fibers like linen or jute, and smooth finishes like ceramic or glass.
