Mathematically speaking, geometry is a branch of math that focuses on the relations of lines, points, solids, surfaces, etc. In 2015, geometric patterns became quite hot in interior design. They popped out in nearly every new home and they were even the stars of many TV shows and magazines.
Geometric patterns are lovely. There is no reason why you should not be able to embrace them as a part of your interior design. When done correctly, they can give your home a polished look.
Goin’ ‘70s
If you have an eye for trends, then you would know by now that what’s fashionable in interior design is also hot, hot, hot in the world of fashion, art, and beauty trends. These share things that are popular and they immediately incorporate what’s in inside homes, on runways, and on canvas.
When talking about popular designs, it is easy to understand why geometric patterns remain hot. Whether you’re eyeing simple, small or large patterns, you will definitely give your home a more refined look compared to its other traditional counterparts.
What’s popular is also recurring. Ask people who have been around for many decades and they’d tell you that the styles are just repeating. What’s fashionable during their childhood might be fashionable again now.
The modern interpretations have a fresh twist, though. What’s hot these days is the groovy look of the seventies.
Geometrically Interesting
If you want to achieve a look that seems to leap out of an interior design magazine, then you have to add splashes of visual interest to your home. You wouldn’t want to bore your visitors with a space that has nothing but neutral-colored walls, flooring, and furnishings.
Geometric patterns are critical when adding visual interest. Your home can look modern, eclectic or even traditional, it depends on how you present the patterns that you have chosen.
In picking the right geometric design, be sure to use one that has the basic colors that you already have in your interior design theme. Your color scheme should dictate the patterns’ hues. Also, be sure to pick the correct print size.
You would not want to overwhelm people in a small room with huge patterns. Don’t forget to choose a pattern that you have also fallen in love with.
Just a Little
A great interior designer would know that design elements should work together. There must be pieces that play the dominant role and the others are just there to highlight these very pieces.
It goes without saying that geometric patterns must be used as accent pieces. It would be wrong and confusing to have a room full of geometric shapes and patterns. In essence, your visitors’ eyes will not cease to look and look and look some more.
Focus on having the design elements that will be framed by the geometric patterns.
Geometric Applications
What’s great about geometric patterns is that they can actually be used anywhere. So, yes, they can be used in the busy living room, the dining and kitchen areas, as well as the quieter rooms such as the bedroom or the home office. Just make sure to use smaller, more subdued patterns when you use them inside rooms where you’re supposed to rest.
To create a more dramatic statement, you can place the geometric patterns on one huge design element in your space. The cool floors could be warmed up by a geometrically interesting area rug.
