Design Files: All Over Pattern

August 27, 2020

I have a word document with a list of different design ideas that I would like to try one day. One of those ideas is labeled “All over Pattern.” I know that’s not very clear, but what I mean is repeated use of the same pattern on multiple elements. Since a picture is worth a thousands words, the photo below will do a much better job demonstrating what I’m trying to explain. The design by Jeffrey Billhuber feels like a classic example of “All over pattern.”

Designer: Jeffrey Bilhuber

It’s a bold statement and not for the faint of heart. It can feel dizzying if the eye doesn’t have a place to land. But with the right balance it creates a big impact, makes the room special and can have a timeless feel.

Of course, this design choice can be tamed by repeating the pattern less frequently or incorporating related patterns to break things up. The designer Libby Cameron does an amazing job of this below. The green gingham corresponds well to the dominate floral pattern on the wall and chair.

Aerin Lauder, the granddaughter of Este Lauder and CEO of her own merchandise empire, has a clear affinity for the all over pattern. Take a peak at her Instagram and you’ll spy a couple of examples. Below is a shot of her bedroom. This picture is from Elle Decor but she has several other photos of the bedroom on Instagram.

Aerin also used an all over pattern in her family room. The walls curtains and couch (or is that a chair?) all appear to have the same pattern.

A variation of this style is to use the same pattern but in a different scale.The Hotel Peter and Paul did a wonderful job using green gingham repeatedly but with varying scales. You should check out the design firm’s website to get a glimpse of the other rooms in the hotel that follows a similar approach.

What do you think of this design idea? Are you scared? Intrigued? The more I look at these photos, the more empowered I am to try it. This idea is definitely a reminder to be bold and just go for something big.

Want more inspiration? I’ve found the following Instagram accounts have excellent examples of this idea: Mark D Sikes , Jared Hughes Design, Libby Cameron, Whitney McGregor and Aerin Lauder. Let me know if you know of any other designers that employ the “all over pattern” approach.

It's finished! My MIL's laundry is all done and sh It's finished! My MIL's laundry is all done and she is very happy with how it turned out.
We had to put our problem-solving hats on this wee We had to put our problem-solving hats on this week. As we fitted the first piece of beadboard, we realized that the floor was sloped and the baseboards were uneven. So when we rested the beadboard on the baseboard, it was unlevel. We actually called it a day without finishing any work and went home to think about how we could tackle this problem. We came up with three possible solutions. Swipe to see what we considered doing (spoiler alert - we went with option number three!).

It came out wonderfully and is holding up great so far (many loads of laundry have been washed and dried and the wallpaper looks exactly the same as the day it was installed). Of course,  I made a cartoon because that's what I do when I wallpaper.

It's funny what little things in life make me happ It's funny what little things in life make me happy. Recently, it has been wallpaper samples. I spent the last couple of weeks searching for affordable green geometric wallpapers for an upcoming project. I quickly added 15+ samples to my shopping cart but eventually narrowed it down to the top 7. While you can peek at some of the samples I ordered above; I wrote a post on my blog with all my favorite ones. Bonus – All the wallpapers are non-woven and unpasted. I have found this type of wallpaper to be really DIY-friendly.  More project details to come soon!
