MMM: Harlequin print = great alternative to stripes

Spots, stripes, stars and chevrons. They’re the prints that get me going interiors-wise.

My daughter’s room is such a printed mish-mash, I do occasionally worry I may have overdone it and she’ll become a less-is-more minimalist as she grows up. Sadface.

But for me and print? Pile it on!

I have been drawn to lots of harlequin patterns lately, which feels sophisticated for a kids room – and means you could live with it for longer.

My clever friend Katie – who is an interiors stylist – has used the Ferm Living mint green harlequin wallpaper on one wall of her baby daughter’s room, mixing it with white and grey and it looks stunning.

I’ve included that particular print in my inspirations round-up below (it seems to be a blogger’s favourite), as well as some others I love.
