Geometric prints

but you’ll definitely need to have the know-hows

Here are a few tips on how to create the perfect space with
geometric prints.
Less is More
If you’re just starting to introduce geometric prints into
your space then it’s best to start off small. Use bold prints in small dosage
through throw pillows, carpets, home accessories, or artwork.
Colour Coordination
If you’re using a subtle colour then you can incorporate
more geometric patterns in the space. This works cause they’re in the same
subtle family colour yet they’re not completing with one another. They’ll
actually complement each other better when in the same colour category.
Size equals Balance
Playing with different sizes will make a large impact. See
how there’s a lot of geometric prints going on in the picture bellow? This
works because of the different sizes and patterns coupled with the pops of
colours through 3 throw pillows.
Love the Accent
We love the accent geometric print wall in the picture
below. It works really well picking up the red tones in the furniture pieces
and the hardwood floor, making this space really work.
Bold is Exciting
Bold prints are exciting but yours eyes will be over
stimulated if the piece is alone. Therefore, it’s best to also use solid colour
along with the geometric patterns to keep them grounded and not overly busy.
If you follow our simple guidelines,
then you’ll definitely have a gorgeous space with geometric prints! If you have
any questions, please feel free to ask away. We’d love to help!
