Geometric Patterns in Interior Design

It seems that geometric patterns in interior design are here to stay. It’s all about bringing patterns, colours and textures together to emphasize your living space.  Natural Geometry can be found all around us in furniture design, architecture and materials.

Pantone expects the trend, in home décor, to spread in 2018.  They are versatile and appealing. They add a modern touch and a burst of colour to your living space, especially in soft furnishings and wall décor.

Geometric prints feature abstract patterns with straight lines, angles and curves in a variety of

shapes. They have been in existence for a long time. Ancient cultures have decorated with them for centuries, using geometric design to add interest to items such as pottery through to grandiose objects found in places of worship. If you have been around for a few decades now you will notice that certain designs are back in fashion along with the colours of that era. There are so many ways you can incorporate them into your décor through wall tiles, wallpaper, art and soft furnishings.

Striking and soothing, geometric patterns can create different effects. They can stylishly highlight all living spaces and bring an up to date feeling to home interiors. 

There are a few elements to think about when choosing a pattern to go nicely with your interior. The key to great interior design is all about knowing which parts of the room should play a primary role. You don’t need too much pattern in a room to pack a pop of visual interest. Choose a design that fits in with your current colour scheme along with finding the right size print that doesn’t overwhelm the size of your room.

Next, you need to focus on where you are going to add your patterned pieces. Textiles with geometric prints look fantastic.  Wall décor is a good place to start. Try bold and dynamic statement pieces like striking mirrors in geometric shapes or a piece of wall art to pack a punch.

Use contemporary and bright patterned throws, decorative cushions with geometric designs on your sofa. A table lamp or ceiling lights come in stunning geometric designs often in on-trend copper and brass finishes for that contemporary look.

Another powerful statement for any living space would be to think about using a large rug, which is the perfect statement piece and creates a modern and effective way to update your room at an affordable price. There are some striking and colourful geometric patterns to choose from.

Due to its versatility and boldness, geometric pattern is still very popular. It has experienced the test of time and not been limited to a certain design style. Therefore, if you invest in key pieces it will be an ideal way to bring this timeless trend into your home.

Using geometric design will ensure that your home is on-trend and will capture the timeless appeal of smooth lines and sophisticated prints.
