Video: Mixing and Matching Home Decor

PLEASANTON — Host, Sarah Rutan: When redecorating your home, don’t be afraid to mix and match different colors, patterns, and textures. To learn more, we’re in Pleasanton with Pete Colucci of Window-ology, speaking on behalf of Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Alan Robinette.

Pete Colucci: My clients ask me all the time, they say, “Pete, can I mix colors, textures, and patterns?” Yes, you can. For instance, I’ve got all of these colors hanging out here. And I just wanted to let you know that you can use orange with blue. You may look at this going, “Oh, my gosh. This is going to be the sofa?” No. These are actually pillows on the sofa so that don’t be afraid to kind of mix and match them.

I mean, you’ve got the, an alligator print. And you also have some, a pattern going on here. But, yes, those can be in the front. This could be in the back. And everything is great. This could also be a drapery. So, don’t be afraid to mix and match. So, when you get into a big room, your feeling is you kind of want it to go, “Ah. Perfect.” Yeah, so, and that. Also, another one is, another color scheme that I like to use, and I take this from my travels to Italy, that Italians like the blue and the yellow going on. So, once again, this could be a pillow in the front. This could be the pillow in the back. So, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid.
