Patterns in a room

One of the first things I was drawn to when deciding to rejuvenate my house was rooms with patterns. Mainly ones on fabrics. The easiest way to do this and most common I saw was on curtains, rugs, pillows, and upholstered furniture. I like the way it brought a room together. It made it feel alive, lived in, and fun. I was so intimidated by this idea though. How do you tow the line between making it look great and put together or like a fabric store exploded on your pillows and curtains? I initially shied away from trying. I was so new to this and thinking outside the box or stretching my ideas was terrifying. Now.. well maybe I should have some fear. I decided I was not ready for pattern furniture. The idea of being able to change my trying and failing attempts seemed good. I settled on pillows and curtains. A training wheel of decorating with patterns and colors if you will. Worst case scenario I change it!
