Geometric Shapes Give Rooms an Edge

Adding the sharp-edged forms of Geo­met­ric shapes to your room is a great way to keep things interesting.

Many of the new wire forms act as a frame to the neg­a­tive space that exists beyond the piece. Here are some hot exam­ples of cur­rent geo­met­ric shapes that trans­form even tra­di­tional rooms with curi­ous contradiction.

 Here the sharp-edged forms add the nec­es­sary visual inter­est to an oth­er­wise plain room

 A restricted, neu­tral palette allows the sketched nature of this light fix­ture to pop.

The sharp con­trast between the gen­tle curve of the ottomans and the jagged edges of the car­pet is echoed in the art and the throw pil­lows.

 Tiles have been cel­e­brat­ing geo­met­ric pat­terns for more than a cen­tury. This mod­ern take plays won­der­fully with the metallics & mirror.

The Lind­sey Adel­man chan­de­lier is at once organic and graphic, and for that rea­son it suits any style of room.

This chan­de­lier is a wire-frame won­der in a con­ven­tional form. It looks dig­i­tal and ele­gant, and right at home in this ornate Vic­to­rian bath.

 

Whether you take the Gutsy or con­ser­v­a­tive approach, there’s a way to incor­po­rate geo­met­rics into your design or interior.
