Patterns and prints are a great way to showcase your sense of style and add character to your home.

 

From using tiles to creating accent walls, Bunnings Workshop members have shared many ways to add patterns to their spaces. Get inspired by some examples below.

 

1. Wallpaper

 

Hanging wallpaper with bold or intricate patterns can spruce up a boring wall or transform an entire room. In this cost-effective laundry makeover, Workshop member @AMR used wallpaper to add a touch of style to a plain space.

You can also use peel-and-stick wallpaper that can be removed without causing damage, making it ideal for rental properties. The Bunnings team shares how to Transform your bedroom with wallpaper.

 

2. Fabrics

 

Opt for bold prints, geometric patterns or unique designs when choosing fabrics and textiles for your home, including throw pillows, curtains, rugs, and upholstery. Have a look at how Workshop member @selva styled their bedroom.

4. Furniture

 

Patterned furniture like accent chairs or tables can serve as focal points in your home. Sandra (@sandy_d) transformed an old baby change table into a rustic feature piece with a herringbone pattern using Venetian blinds.
