Whether creating a cohesive look for an entire room or adding some extra colour and personality to your products, a watercolour seamless pattern design can be an invaluable asset for you. Moreover, watercolour surface patterns are versatile so they can be used in various industries and design styles.

I am going to show you a couple of watercoloured patterns that are so versatile and playful, you can use them on any product!

How do you choose the right watercolour seamless patterns? 

When choosing a watercolour seamless pattern design to work with, it's important to consider the purpose of the pattern. Some patterns, like botanical designs, are perfect for adding personality and colour to products. Other patterns, like relief prints, are perfect for creating a cohesive look for an entire room. Ultimately, the best watercolour surface pattern design for you will depend on your specific needs. Otherwise, take a look at one of my popular designs and see which variation appeals to you the most:

To take it further, linear patterns are popular in surface pattern design. These designs consist of lines or geometric shapes and can be used to create eye-catching pieces for any space. Whether you’re looking for a subtle background motif or a bold statement piece, linear patterns are a great choice.  What's more, linear patterns are versatile and can be used in various design styles. 

Tessellated patterns are another popular type of surface pattern design. These designs are made up of small pieces that have been arranged in a repeating pattern. These are a popular choice for those who want a unique and eye-catching piece of furniture or decoration. Tessellated patterns are a great way to add texture and visual interest to any space, so they work best on wallpapers or wide spaces.

Botanical designs (my favourite!) are also perfect for adding personality and colour to products. Nature is a constant inspiration for me when I work on botanical designs. In fact, this is how it all started, but that’s a story for another time! Botanical designs are perfect for adding freshness and energy to any room and creating a calming atmosphere. With countless options, from floral and leafy prints to intricate animal illustrations, botanical designs are a great way to make any space unique! Plus, they add personality to products of any kind. Image a whole collection of water bottles with a botanical theme, such as Montserra leaves or sunflowers. So fresh, so enthusiastic!

Colour palette inspiration

As to the colour palette of your choice, it’s essential to consider how the colours interact with each other to create an impressive end result. Colour palettes can be used to evoke certain emotions or themes in your work. The colours you select should reflect your design style and preferences, but also the seasonal trend.  Colour palettes are a great way to instantly add a modern twist to your work and make it stand out. Here are some of my favourite seasonal colour palettes to help inspire you. 

• Summer Hues – Bright yellows, greens, blues, and pinks offer a playful and light-hearted look perfect for the summer months.

• Autumnal Tones – Rich earthy tones such as rusty reds, burnt oranges, and deep browns provide an inviting atmosphere perfect for the autumn season.

• Winter Whites – Cool whites, blues, and greys create a cool and calming look that is perfect for winter.

• Spring Blooms – Soft pastels such as pale pinks, mint greens, and baby blues bring a fresh and romantic feel that’s ideal for springtime.

So, let's say you create wallpapers and bedroom accent elements. If you’re looking for a more subdued palette, try using colours that are more muted or toned down. For example, a green and brown colour scheme would be a great way to add depth and dimension to a room without being too overpowering.

If you’re looking for a more vibrant palette, try using colours that are brighter and more vivid. For example, a blue and yellow colour scheme would be a great way to add energy and life to a room. You get the picture. Colours speak. And if they are WATERcolored, they are even more precious (pun intended!).
