Play With Patterns

Mixing patterns can often feel like a daunting task. If you're not ready to go full-on color and bold prints, try blending motifs in subtle, delicate ways. This laundry room is an example of a clever, but classic pattern mixing. The quatrefoil tile backsplash merges with abstract floral wallpaper and diamond-latticed cabinet doors — all of which is grounded by sophisticated, scrolling floor tile.

Try Something Different

Since laundry rooms are typically on the smaller side, they're the perfect spot to step out of your design box a little bit. For the HGTV Urban Oasis 2016, designer Brian Patrick Flynn embraced full-on pattern with floor-to-ceiling tiles.
