Geometric Designs – How to Look Sharp and Timeless

Achieving geometric designs may be a tricky thing to do but it is definitely a look that will be featured prominently for many more years. The interior design industry has much use for geometric patterns and styling. Don’t be surprised if you see more and more interesting and unique patterns being used in many sophisticated or modern habitats.

If you’ve never considered painted geometric walls in the past, then this might be the right time to reconsider. This is an inspiring and one-of-a-kind look that is edgy, angled and so much more.

If you’re a pastel lover, don’t fret, because there is much more that you can do with your favorite hues when you pair them with the right geometric patterns.

Geometric Wall Painting or Wallpapering

If you’re bent on getting the geometric look then you should learn to work with different strong hues. The geometric look is all about making a strong statement; making people look and creating aesthetics that are meant to intrigue the senses.

Step 1 in painting a geometric wall is to pick the area that would have to be painted. This can be the entire wall or just a portion of it. Using masking tape, mark out the areas that need to be painted.

Step 2 is to tape off the geometric shapes that will be used. You can create diagonal strips that meet at the center so that the focus of the eyes would be towards the center.

Step 3 is for you to pick your color hierarchy. Find out which hues you veer towards then use these in the most prominent areas of your home. The larger blocks should be allocated to these colors.

Step 4 is to begin applying the paint to these areas. Apply two or more coats to achieve a textured look.

Step 5 is to dry the paint and making sure to remove the masking tape from the painted wall only when the paint has already dried. These masking tape markings will make the edges neater.

Step 6 is pretty simple – sit back and enjoy what you have accomplished.

If painting your walls are a little too bold for you, then you can experiment first with wallpaper. The right shapes could bring in a retro vibe into your home. It can also create a perfect backdrop for a piece of furniture that comes in an interesting block color.

Geometric Décor

Regardless of where you intend to use the geometric shapes, they are sure to intrigue you, even your guests. Geometric shapes seem artificial since they come in beautiful, coordinated shapes that nature won’t always provide.

The introduction of these patterns aren’t always easy, though. Plus, you might not always like the idea of repainting an entire wall. If this is the case with you, then you can resort to geometric decorating.

Find any piece that features geometric shapes that could instantly become the focal point. If not, then it can also be the right accent piece to frame the focal point of your room. Imagine having geometric fabric on your couch while the flooring it sits on is an interesting white span.

The chandelier is a perfect piece to show off interesting geometric patterns since it is often the focal point of a room. When placed in more inconspicuous areas, this can be your accent piece.

Geometry is all about experimenting and knowing what work and what won’t. If you’re still hesitant, then use geometric rugs as these are less invasive and they can also be easily removed should the time come that you no longer want the geometric style.
