Opt for Two Tones

Full of coastal charm, the laundry room in this Southampton, New York, home is a bright and inviting spot to tackle the daily task of laundry.

The whitewashed flooring and shiplap walls evoke a beachy aesthetic for this coastal home.

Mixing Prints

Blending two differing patterns might seem like a challenge, but it's easier than you might think. It's all in the color scheme. Stick to a simple palette — never more than three shades — to bring varying motifs together. Here, blooming wallpaper and scrolling tiles deliver a heavy dose of pattern, but in such understated hues, they blend together seamlessly.
