Eric Roch in one of his blog entries "Design Patterns Gone Bad" (see title of this post) has made a very good point saying: "Design patterns are a great architectural tool, but you still must understand the implications of using the pattern for a given solution and the technology involved. Always ask yourself is there a better, simpler solution."
I strongly agree with his views. "Design patters are not recipes but spices, use the ones that are required and ONLY WHERE it is required." well thats my explanation ;)
