Use simple repeats

Dots, stripes, tiny hearts, flowers and checker details are easy to repeat. They work especially well when you use them in one or two areas instead of everywhere.

Try this

  1. Choose one small shape: dots, stars, hearts, leaves or simple lines.
  2. Repeat it with similar spacing.
  3. Keep the pattern color close to the base color for a soft look.
  4. Use a brighter color only if you want that area to stand out.
