Geometrics


homedit.com

Geometrics are here to stay.  Circles, squares, zigzags and stripes appear in every facet of today's
home design.  From sumptuous custom carpets to boldly patterned wallpaper and from window 
treatments to decorative accessories, these patterns add pizzaz to every space.  I think the carpet in the room below gives it the WOW factor.

Do you like the stripe and plaid walls in the next two photos?  They make a bold statement but still
create cozy and inviting rooms.

I have used geometric shapes effectively in a serious office setting but they can also be fun and whimsical in a youthful bedroom.  One room is all blue circles and the other is yellow straight lines and triangles.  Which one strikes your fancy?

I like the way geometrics can act as a counterpoint to floral patterns in window treatments  and upholstered furniture. In the next photo,  you can see how the contrasting patterns in the drapes and the chairs provide balance to the room.

They can also offer elements of surprise and delight when used as patterns on floors , sculptural details on tables and cabinets,  and bold accents in a room like pillows and ottomans.
I have included the following photos to highlight these elements.

I really love the repetition of the octagon in the photo below.  It appears both in the ceiling design and the shape of the table in this luxurious dining room.

When the summer weather arrives,  wouldn't you love to spend time on this cheery patio?  The bright
red fretwork of the furniture gives a feeling of vibrant energy to the garden setting.

Geometrics are lively and add movement to your home's design.  Enjoy using these patterns but keep in mind...a little goes a long way.
