Feathr: Different Types of Repeat Pattern

Different Types of Repeat Pattern


Straight match: the left and right edges of the tile match in a straight horizontal line with the left and right edge of the next tile.

Half drop / offset match: the match is obtained by half dropping the repeat.

1/3 drop: the adjacent tile drops down 1/3 length of the design

1/4 drop: the adjacent tile drops down 1/4 length of the design

Mirror: the match is obtained by turning every second strip of wallpaper upside down.

Free match: the repeat has no match. The tiles can be hung next to each other without having to match any parts of the pattern


You can clearly see the lines of the yellow and purple flowers going vertically and horizontally across the wallpaper, which is quite distracting to the eye.  

Here, I have used a mirror tile effect, the match is obtained by turning every second strip of wallpaper upside down. I am not sure that the tiles work upside down, it does not work free falling. 

Here I have used the adjacent tile which drops down 1/4 length of the design, I think this works best, and created a wave/rippling effect of flowers across the wallpaper.
