Jupiter-based designer Jackie Armour has always loved mixing patterns. And she is thrilled to see more people welcoming the trend into their homes. “We are seeing clients gradually embracing this trend in subtle ways,” she says. “More is more!” Earlier this year, Armour worked with a client who wanted to bring coastal ambience into their home at Old Marsh Golf Club. The designer’s first thought was color. “We wanted to introduce unexpected colors instead of the typical coastal navy or soft blue,” she says. “The turquoise and seafoam were a fun departure. Of course, we balanced that with neutral walls and a few neutral pieces throughout.”
In the entry foyer, Armour set a patterned Stout fabric bench from Vanguard Furniture against a wall adorned with palm leaf–patterned wallpaper (custom from Etsy). “We knew we wanted drama at the entry, but we wanted it to be subtle and sophisticated,” she says. “The wallpaper was a bold choice—I love that the color is unexpected and not your typical green leaves. The seafoam, teal, and neutral tones set this paper apart.” Armour’s advice to those looking to dip their toes into the trend: “Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to color and pattern. One easy way to tackle this is with accessories like pillows or throws.” And if you’re looking to incorporate the seafoam hue into your home, she suggests mixing it with sandy beiges, yellow tones, soft greens, deep ink blues, and creams. “The results are calming and sophisticated,” says Armour.
