For the love of Patterns & Textures....

Patterns are nothing but decorative design found firstly in nature. Some evident examples include the white clouds on blue sky for a random pattern. The leaves of a fern form a regular pattern....so on and so forth. One can start identifying millions of examples in nature.

In the world of interior design, patterns are nothing but some form of artistic or decorative design found on wall, fabrics, paper, accessories etc., Something that is not plain is considered to be a pattern. It can be regular or random. A regular pattern is something that would follow a sequence or a logical order whereas random patterns do not follow that and would just be irregular. Some common patterns include polka dots, zig-zags, checks and stripes etc., Patterns can also reflect a particular period of style.

Textures are sturctures of interwoven fibers or elements. One can clearly identify the physical composition of a texture. Textures can be smooth, grainy, or rough. While most textures are physical in nature some can be visual too... like the painted wall would be considered more of a visual texture than physical. Some of the examples can be seen here....

Interior Design Styles.....

Style is something that is associated with a particular region, a particular period or a particular lifestyle......With region, it could be Indian, Greek or African styles which can further be segregated based on North, South, East and West. Victorian and Medieval could be considered as style with respect to period.....and Lifestyles would be to do with Modern, Country...etc.,....

As we all know, these can be broadly classified as Classic, Contemporary, Country, Eclectic, Dramatic and Global styles of design. I made some moodboards to explain the same....The pictures are not very clear due to some problem with my camera......Sorry :( !!!!!

Instead of me explaining the nuances of each of the style.....I will let you do the observation....
