There’s nothing like bold design to enliven a space. We share top ideas to add graphic prints in the home.
The look: Graphic interplay
According to Alon Sachs, co-founder of Mobelli Furniture + Living, graphic designs are a great way to fill a space with energy and excitement. “Bold and colourful patterns are often viewed as overwhelming, especially in small spaces. But this needn’t be the case, as long as you choose the colours and pattern sizes carefully,” he notes.

Start by incorporating subtle graphic elements into your décor scheme, and work your way towards a bolder design statement. “A few scatter cushions and a throw or rug can be a great way to introduce this trend into your home without going overboard,” suggests Sachs.

TIP: Watch out for too many competing patterns – this will be overwhelming for the eye.
The look: Global nomad
Oversized tropical leaves and bold florals have had their day. Geometric prints are coming into sharp focus once again.
This trend lets you explore your eclectic side with patterns and prints from far-flung countries. “It’s a fusion of decorative motifs, paisleys and designs influenced by intricate Indian and African prints,” explains Stacey Nel, marketing manager at Volpes.
Whether incorporated in muted neutral tones or bolder shades, there’s no doubt that prints are the focus of this look. “Ideal for the bedroom, all work wonderfully on scatter cushions, quilts and duvet covers,” adds Nel.
