How To Use Geometric Lines In Your House

Math may not have been your favorite subject but it’s time you retrieved some of the good old geometry you learned at school to spruce up your home’s interior décor. In today’s minimalistic styles and designs, geometric lines, circles, hexagons, and triangles have become popular trends in home décor in all seasons. Homeowners and interior designers are now turning to geometric lines to create elegant patterns with sharp angular styles into their homes. Circular geometric patterns on prints are also being used to uplift the style of a previously dull house. Geometric patterns enhance the visual appeal of fabric and can easily transform functional pieces of furniture such as a chair or sofa into an elegant piece with a unique fashion statement.

Versatility of geometric designs

Geometry lines and shapes are not just limited to fabrics and furniture designs but are also found in the overall architecture of your home. Geometric patterns are prominent features from kitchen tiles to bedroom and living room fabrics. Most often, you won’t need to redesign your home but simply enhance its style using items and fixtures that emphasize its geometrical design. You can easily work with clean geometric lines and bold colors to enhance the interior and exterior of your home.

It’s no wonder why simple clean lines reminiscent of the seventies are quite popular with interior and graphic designers today.

The return to minimalistic styles relies heavily on geometric shapes to create simple but appealing interior designs. Bold geometric lines add visual interest to your home without necessarily using frills or exaggerated embellishments. For instance, a small triangle hanging on the hallway wall can echo the bold design of an A-frame home while contributing to its rustic appearance. You can take it further with hexagons lining the wall as functional shelves. Here are a few more ways of using clean geometric lines in your home to enhance its style.

Geometric lines in décor

You can easily add geometric interest in your home using simple shapes in your décor. For example, you can use quilts and pillows featuring geometric patterns to add comfort and a natural appeal to your interiors. A hexagon mirror hanging on the wall creates the impression of larger spaces without taking too much space. Redesign your décor using classic oriental rugs with ancient geometric shapes.

Geometric décor can be functional too. You can enhance your empty looking staircase with triangularly shaped shelving underneath that can be used as shoe storage or reading nook. A geometric staircase does not take up too much room and still looks modern especially when it features a linear rail.

Shelving with a geometric design

You are probably tired of repainting the walls every so often and could do with a better idea. Why don’t you get rid of old shelving on the walls and construct floating shelves to add a geometric appeal to the walls. The shelves not only provide extra storage but create a statement piece as well. Geometric shelves can be installed anywhere from the walls to the kitchen as open cabinets and even under a coffee table.

Geometric designs on walls and floors

The first thing you probably think about at the mention of geometric lines in your interior design is probably the tiles. You can take the tile design further by incorporating hexagons on your bathroom tiles and on the kitchen floor too. Get your creative juices flowing and use unique materials such as wine corks and old plates to create a mosaic backlash in bathrooms. Reclaimed wood cut in geographic shapes makes an interesting floor or wall. Think beyond the generic tiles and use other types of materials creatively to create simple minimalistic geometric lines on walls and floors.

Conclusion

As more people adopt minimalism as the preferred style, geometric lines and shapes have become quite popular. Such shapes can be used virtually anywhere in the interior and exterior of your house. All you need is a little creativity and imagination to create a modern, eclectic, or even (occasionally) wacky design using geometric lines.
