When I heard of the 'pattern clashing' trend, I was immediately skeptical. What kind of term has the word 'clashing' in the title? However, the tiger wallpaper, marble countertops, and metallic accents in Miley Cyrus's powder room completely changed my mind.
The bold bathroom idea was put together by the singer's mother, and even she admits that the design is especially daring. In an Instagram post featuring the space, she commented: 'Miley had told me that when you’re in this bathroom, it should be an experience. I was a little scared, but we went all in!.' Just like mine, Tish's fears paid off, and the unlikely combination makes for an unforgettable and cohesive room. Here, the eclectic, 'clashing' patterns work together so well.
Mixing patterns and prints in interior design isn't the easiest place to start, but it can have stunning effects. So what makes Tish Cyrus's design in Miley's home look so stunning? First, she has opted to use a complementary color palette with different patterns. For instance, the marble sink is cream and charcoal gray, while the wallpaper is cream, white, charcoal gray, and red. Thus, although the tiger wallpaper introduced a bold new pattern, it has only brought in a space more color.

Another way that Tish has kept the pattern-clashing trend chic is by integrating a mix of textures. For instance, the wallpaper is matte, which compliments the slight sheen of the marble sink. The gold faucet, soap dish, mirror, and light fixture bring in a touch of metallics, which bring a sparkle to the patterns already there and make them look instantly more interesting.
Finally, the patterns in this room work as a masterclass on how to add life to a small bathroom. Though this much pattern might not work all together in a larger room, when combined in close quarters it creates an eclectic and interesting feel. To style your own pattern-clashing bathroom, start with wallpaper. This type of decor instantly brings a sense of tradition and luxury into the home.
Miley Cyrus's bathroom demonstrates that first impressions aren't always right. Sometimes, you just need to see a trend done well to understand its full potential.
