The former print should be smaller than the other in the same or similar colour family.

If you really want to take a stroll into the wild side, have some fun and mix print with like-toned or monochrome graphic prints such as spots or stripes. Then last but not least try putting on matching prints together. Better, play it safe and try on original patterns.
