Ubiquitous in our natural environment, geometric patterns are really having a moment in design right now. It seems everywhere we turn, we run into something geometric. What's more, faceted objects are reigning in home décor; from planters and terrariums to faceted vases and light fixtures. We find these angular beauties in furniture design as well as textiles for the bed, tabletop and wall applications.
One of the first things we learn as children are basic geometric shapes, and they stay with us throughout our lives. Maybe it's that sense of familiarity that makes geometric shapes such a popular pattern in home décor. Geometrics are a way of lending formality to a space; making it striking but without taking over.
Geometric patterns are not just a contemporary trend either; it is one that has endured throughout history. The ancient Greeks and Moroccans both used bold geometric patterns as part of their architectural and interior design. Throughout the 1900's, angular structures and patterns were presented in different forms as the design styles adapted and changed.
Geometric shapes and patterns provide a stunning backdrop for a variety of décor settings and they remain popular because they mimic items found in nature. Nature is a constant inspiration in all design.
