Great video and not a rotisserie chicken in sight. Ha, ha!
I too mix patterns, although for my eye, I can't use them on every surface, as I find that overly busy. I like solid coloured walls, drapes, and large pieces like a couch, but then bring in patterned rugs, pillows, side chairs, artwork etc.
You really are multi talented Lauri. You are obviously a good cook, a knowledgeable gardener and a very gifted decorator/designer. But the talent I recognize the most is your teaching ability. As a retired teacher myself, I observe the skills you have as an educator, to break down, simplify and explain your lessons. You alway bring in numerous visuals to illustrate your points...you certainly did in this video. Do know how much I enjoy and have learned from you via RUclips.
Agree with all you say. Loved the chicken reference. I laughed out loud.
I laughed too. Sadly, Kirby is not the least bit interested in this video! Thank you so much for your sweet comment.
I agree with you 100%! I love everything Lauri does!
Really loved this one! Especially all the sample rooms and fabric collections. I feel I can apply this very easily now to my home! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for your sweet comment!
Stopped the video not even two minutes in - LOVE that green bedroom!!!!!!!!!!! - now, I'll continue. :)
I do too. You have to look really hard to see the other patterns in the room, but I had to include it. Love the walls.
Excellent video. This is my favorite subject!
Great to hear!
What a wonderful tutorial! I have admired the mixed patterns that I saw a Canadian designer use, you have given me the knowledge to carry it out. I enjoy each and every video you post of your lovely traditional style.
Wonderful! Thank you for your sweet comment.
Fabulous ideas
Thank you kindly!
Glad you like them!
I went wild for this style back in the 1980s. I used Mario B's rooms that were always shown in the top decor mags as inspiratiom. It would be great if this Southern Living style made a comeback. I've evolved since my rooms all had some version of mixed colors and patterns, but it's still eye candy for my soul.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Just what I needed. Thanks for the tutorial.

Love this topic! You chose Gorgeous photos to teach your method! I'm looking for a new couch for family room and want to "mix" a new pattern with my existing patterned rug and chairs! And on this note ..... would love to see printed fabric lampshades on either side of the bed in your master bedroom! 🙂
I am wanting to do printed lamp shade on the 2 lamps on the dresser. Looking online for frames!
This video got a lot of inspiration! Thank you! Loves from Holland🇳🇱

Can you also start with an Aubusson rug as the Hero Fabric? Thank you so much for this video!!💞
Yes you can!
Thank you for making this video. This was the first time it was explained to me, and it clicked, and now I can see how this works. One question I had was how much of the room needs to feature the Hero fabric? In the examples, the Hero fabric has proportionally less han the stripes, small-scale prints, and geometrics. In one room, the hero was a drapery pannel and one pillow, and the supporting prints comprised most of the other parts of the room. In my project, my hero pattern is the wallpaper on one wall. Is that too much of a hero pattern? I think the items I'm placing on that wall will break up the pattern (a dresser, a solid lamp, and some art with wide matting). Would I need the wallpaper pattern anywhere else in the room, or will the supporting prints be enough?
The proportional use of the hero fabric varies with your tolerance! Mathematical formulas might work for some people, but I prefer to let my eye be the guide. As far as repeating the wallpaper, that is not necessary, but do try to repeat 2 to 3 colors from the pattern multiple times throughout the space. And if there is a small pattern/design from the paper that is echoed, that is super fun. I just found a lamp with florals that echo the florals found in my guestroom hero fabric. Thanks for your great question!
what is the beginning "asian hero fabric" called, looking for a colorful fabric like this for a vintage wicker chair! TY!
No sure exactly which fabric. I assume the one with the tiger. It is a Schumacher fabric. Not sure about the exact name or if it is still in the current line.
😊 thanks!
In 2024 you start with wallpaper, not rugs.
I have always put wallpaper in the same category as patterned fabrics since rug selections are always the most limited. I guess I'm old fashioned. ; )
