Crafting a Patterned Home

Painting, Printing and Stitching Projects to Enliven Every Room

Crafting a Patterned Home by Kristin Nicholas explores how to creatively combine patterns on walls, in fabrics and on floors to best express your love of color. Included are 35 projects that explore the versatility of pattern in every room. 

Patterns made by hand are more interesting, alive, and vibrant than any machine-patterned object. With brushes and paint, needles and threads, and a little imagination, color expert and crafter Kristin Nicholas shows how you can transform your home into a space that sings. In Crafting a Patterned Home you’ll:

• Explore different types of patterns and how to mix and layer patterns together
• Learn DIY techniques to freshen and transform your home with pattern, paint, and more
• Discover the projects, inspiration, and ideas for enlivening your space

This book will guide you in playing with texture, scale, and color through embroidery, knitting, crochet, ceramics, painting, stamping, and more. Hardcover, 193 pages; Roost Books
