  Repeat Patterns in Real Life

  

  We love how the repeating pattern of the floral wallpaper in the bedroom above from Ashley Montgomery Design is mirrored in the vase of flowers on the nightstand.

  A similar look can be achieved with foliage-focused textiles and houseplants, or book-filled patterns and bookshelves.
