You can create custom pattern fills from regular objects with menu 'Object > Patterns > Objects to Pattern', and then use that custom pattern as fill for any object in your current drawing (via 'Object > Fill and Stroke…').

Please see this section in the manual for details:

A more advanced technique to create complex tilings or seamless (vector-based) patterns can be achieved with help of 'Tiled Clones'. Tavmjong Bah offers a detailed tutorial here:

Can you help with this problem?
