The quick Scoop
Funhaus, explained
Funhaus is one of Pinterest's picks for 2026: bold shapes, stripes, checks and scalloped edges, used with a sense of humor. It looks best when it is edited, and editing comes down to a few rules.
Three rules for mixing pattern
Vary the scale
Pair a wide stripe with a small scallop so the patterns do not compete at the same size.
Keep the palette close
Two or three colors repeated across pieces tie different patterns together.
Let one piece be the loudest
Choose a hero, such as the chair, and keep the rest of the room quieter around it.
Four pieces to start with
