What Causes One To See Patterns In The Field Of Vision?

For the last few months I have seen patterns that others do not see. When I look at a flat surface, usually light colored, I see a design. Sometimes it looks lacey, or plaid, or spotted. An example is looking at my bathroom wall painted yellow, I see splotches of aqua with the yellow, like it needs another coat of paint to cover the wall, but the wall wasn t aqua before.
