Go Bigger on Prints
It’s great to have clashing prints here and there, but don’t go too much with geometrics as it can instantly drown the eye. We’re not preventing you to go big, but just do it carefully and explore with scale for a more styled look. You may choose a few key features such as bed fabrics, drapings, curtains, or rug/floor mat for a bigger scale geometric pattern, then assemble other smaller-scale prints.
If you are going to use large prints that have multiple colours in it, you can keep the smaller geometric prints in one hue, or if your primary pattern is in a monochrome colourway, use the accent prints to add some colour.
Go Classic With Soft or Neutral Hues
Using classic geometrics can give your home that boldness and beauty, but take note that they don’t have to be attention-grabbing and utilize them in a subtle way. You may use this to tone down the contrast that makes geometric prints to stand out and even large prints in these shades that will absorb a more fine aspect of sophistication.
This is also ideal for those that want a peaceful interior vibe but would want to incorporate some fun patterns.
Bring in Hollywood Spot
With fretwork pillows and bed linens, your home can have that Hollywood Regency. The lines of your headboard and curves will increase the level of glamour and personality in a vivid, strong orange upholstery. You can have a nightstand that finishes the look by repeating the same lines of the bed linens with a neutral colourway and gold accents.
Incorporate Geometric Patterns in Rugs
Since geometric rugs are becoming the popular thing today, and can almost be found in nearly any colour and price point, we recommend that you look for dhurries in bold patterns and colourful hues to add huge personality to any space.
You may want to anchor your inspiration in classic colours, you can use some strong diamond patterns in shades of blue to bring in a tribal feel to an eclectic space with both modern and traditional elements.
Combine Geometric and Fluid Prints
Geometric prints have stunning angles that make them excellently suited to the keen design styles including industrial or contemporary look, but you can soften the lines by merging them with more fluid, organic patterns to complement many other styles. You can even use the chameleon interior trend by pairing lovely geometric patterns with curved prints for a look you’re sure to love.
Geometric Patterns on Your Flooring and Wallpaper
Of course, we can’t miss out wallpaper and flooring as one of the most popular ways to incorporate geometric patterns in your home. But take note that both are more permanent additions to your home. This is a great idea if you want an instant or quick revamp for your home if you are really serious about applying geometric patterns.
However, if you’re not ready to commit to the geometric trend for the next few years, you can stick to several accessories first for the meantime that can be easily swapped in and out. Quick geometric swaps include cushions and throws that can make a huge impact, but you can always look for other areas in your home too, from vases to placemats, to towelling, to trinket boxes, all of these are great quick swaps that can add trend to your interior.
