Can you pick out the patterns?

 Salam! In the past two weeks I have explained how to mix fabric patterns with confidence and shared an example of one creative collection of toss pillows.  For today, I thought it would be fun to show you some examples of how interior designers mix patterns. See if you can pick out the patterns based on the five elements of pattern mixing;  pattern, scale, color, texture, and style. Notice how the patterns on furniture, pillows, rugs, walls, and window coverings are mixed together to produce a successful design.
