Patterned refers to something that has been decorated, marked, or designed with a repeated arrangement of shapes, colors, lines, or forms. Patterns can be symmetrical, abstract, geometric, or organic, and they serve to add visual appeal, structure, and order to surfaces or objects. Commonly found in textiles, artwork, architecture, and nature, a patterned design brings rhythm and style to an otherwise plain surface. This term can also be used metaphorically to describe structured or repetitive elements in behavior, systems, or ideas.
