What are some ways to incorporate a bold pattern into a design scheme without overwhelming the space?

1. Balance bold patterns with neutral elements: Use neutral colors, materials or textures to create a balance between the bold pattern and the rest of the space. This will help draw attention to the pattern without overwhelming the entire room.

2. Use bold pattern in small quantities: Instead of using bold patterns in large amounts, use them in smaller accents such as throw pillows, curtains, or a rug. This will allow the pattern to make a statement without overpowering the entire space.

3. Mix and match patterns: When using bold patterns, try mixing and matching different patterns together to create a cohesive look. Just make sure to use patterns that complement each other to avoid overwhelming the space.

4. Use the pattern in unexpected ways: Instead of using the bold pattern on a large piece of furniture or wall, try using it in unexpected ways such as on a lampshade, a piece of artwork, or a small accent piece.

5. Create a focal point: Use the bold pattern as a focal point in the room by strategically placing it in a prominent location. This will draw attention to the pattern and make it a statement piece without overwhelming the entire space.
