It’s quite a delight to introduce geometric patterns into our homes using interlocking tessellating forms. It creates a sense of rhythm and harmony, while also being visually stimulating. Geometric patterns, like the floral trend has never been out of style.
Since ancient times, geometric patterns have been used for interiors and architecture by everyone from the Greeks to Morocco. While pattern may conjure up images of bold, dramatic displays, it doesn’t have to be.
12 Reasons to Love the Ongoing Geometric Trend
The addition of repeating patterns can add interest and calm the eyes. They create an orderly feeling. However, it is worth using geometric patterns in your home.
This form of expression via choice of colour and pattern should be used sparingly to avoid overstimulating the senses. These are 12 Reasons to Love the Ongoing Geometric Trend. They include subtler colour choices, texture, and scale.
1. Focus!
You can use geometric patterns to accent the focal point of a room, whether it is the bedroom or the living room. If you combine it with colour, it will be instantly recognizable.
Even subtle colours can be used to create focus. Personal preference will dictate how dramatic you want to make your look.
You can use geometric patterned rugs to add accessories like cushions, throws, and art. It is important to focus the attention on the layered elements that make up the focal point of a room.
2. Neutral decor
While there are some people who love colour, there are many others who prefer a neutral palette. To avoid looking dull and uninteresting, neutral color schemes must have contrasting textures and visual interest.
The best way to add visual interest is with subtle geometric patterns.
While accessories and rugs work well for this, there are some really great furniture pieces that will make your floors and sofas stand out.
Wallpaper is another option. Even if you are looking for something more neutral and less colorful, there are many great geometric design options.
3. Oversize
The size of the chosen pattern should be proportional to the space. Large repeating patterns on walls can make a space appear smaller than it actually is. To appreciate the impact of large-scale patterns, use them on large walls. For smaller walls, such as the one below, repeating patterns work best. They still have a huge impact.
4. Decorative Balance
To create a balanced look, balance more repeating decorative patterns with more subtle patterns. They won’t dominate a space.
This hallway shows how repeating patterns can be used to create a focal point, while the blue metro tiles balance the elements. This hallway is also a joy to be in, thanks to the use of contrasting textures and colors.
5. Monochrome Experiment
Monochrome colours will give you the freedom to experiment with geometric patterns, and create a cohesive feel.
6. It all comes down to the details
A brilliant way to add subtle geometric patterns is to change the hardware of your doors and cupboards, especially with the new trends in black kitchens. You can add a metallic element to your interiors and it will bring out the reflective qualities and interest that dark interiors require.
7. Art Deco Inspired
It’s clear that Art Deco used colour, pattern, and style in a way that we still love today. These Audenza placemats are perfect to add a touch of elegance and glamour to your dining experience.
8. Mixing it up
You can mix and match geometric patterns with accessories like cushions. These cushions are from Venoor Living, which I love. The use of colour allows for a uniform look while playing with pattern.
9. Let There Be Light
It’s hard to beat decorative lighting for adding interest to a space. This one by Dowsing and Reynolds is sophisticated with its black geometric lines and shimmering gold bulb holder.
A geometric pendant is an excellent choice if you are looking for a bright, eye-catching light that will grab attention in a room.
10. Feature Furniture
The interiors industry is definitely embracing statement chairs. Why not choose one that incorporates geometric design so it doesn’t go out of style? This glamorous design is inspired by mid-century American furnishings. It features laser-cut hexagonal detailing which adds visual interest.
11. Floor Drama
Rugs can be used to break up large areas of flooring. They also provide a beautiful contrast to wood flooring, whether it is herringbone or plain floorboards.
Carpetright’s multicoloured rugs allow you to play with color in your home.
Whatever your rug choice, whether patterned or unpatterned, choose colours that match your decor and don’t forget about the scale of the rug!
12. Accessory
Even the smallest accessories can make a big impact on your space if you are wary about large pieces in a geometric pattern. These Audenza monochrome utensil containers are my favorite. They would be great for any kitchen, or even the dressing table.
Last but not least, why not add a subtle geometric touch by using reflective surfaces like these mirrored tiles?
Geometric patterns are more of an accent in our homes and shouldn’t be done too often. You will get the most for your money if you do not spend too much. It adds interest and vitality to any room. It’s hard not to fall in love with this!
