Design Trend: Geometric Patterns

May 142012
 

Trends angle towards vibrant Geo­met­ric pat­ters with bold, dra­matic pieces.  (Check out Elle Decor’s April Issue fea­tur­ing hexa­gon tex­tiles and prints!)

Geo­met­rics are a great addi­tion to any design aes­thetic. From a clas­sic strip in a more tra­di­tional set­ting to a mod­ern fret­work design as an eclec­tic state­ment in a more con­tem­po­rary space, both geo­met­ric pat­terns serve their pur­pose in the proper environment.

Scandanavian Charm

Sep 042011
 

Many of us think of Scan­di­na­vian style as stark, white and mod­ern. But whilst white is still the main colour, many styl­ish home­own­ers are adding black and hits of colour for a bold mod­ern take on this style. Unusual accent pieces make fre­quent appear­ances, like fluffy throw rugs. Some­times only a sin­gle spec of color can be seen in a room, found in a soft aqua­ma­rine cur­tain, grey bed­spreads, or a bright flo­ral cush­ion for the sofa.  Beau­ti­ful light wood as used in pic­ture frames and lamps soften the stark white interiors.

I’ve always been inspired by the way the sim­ple place­ment of fur­ni­ture and every day items cre­ate the most beau­ti­ful, calm­ing liv­ing spaces.

The pic­ture above the bed really comes into its own here. 

Cozy atmos­phere

Sim­ple & beautiful

A very small room but I could def­i­nitely spend some time here

A warm & invit­ing space for the fam­ily to spend time together
