Using bold geometric patterns is nothing new to the world of interior
design, but the trend definitely made a huge resurgence recently and
underwent quite a spectacular evolution as it spread. The field of
geometry is inherently diverse, a study of every shape and form – so
it's no surprise to find that geometric design offers equally limitless possibilities within the home. From the retro appeal of interlocking patterns
to modernistic low-poly figures, you'll never run out of styles to
explore. All three homes below express their own interpretation of this
powerful trend.
Designed by Archiplastica and visualized by Wladimir Sapyan, this home
is titled “Men’s Apartment” and emphasizes a certain chic masculine
style with subdued neutral colors and subtle yet rugged textures. Here,
our foray into geometric design begins with a fabulous modular table
with irregular angles and a cool arrangement of wall mounted lights to
the left.
Overall, squared shapes and clean lines rule the space. An abundance of
indirect lighting sources set the mood when the recessed ceiling lights
would prove too bright.
A large divider visually separates the kitchen from the living areas –
it seems to take up a lot of precious square footage, but both sides
feature an abundance of convenient hidden storage. One side houses the
apartment’s small library.
The dining area is rather cozy, capped by a huge oversized pendant lamp
with a faceted geometric surface. Note the incredible rhythm created by
the matte black surfaces, making the thin wooden tabletop appear light
as can be.
Magnificent lighted panels create an immediate impression in the bedroom.
The bed itself maintains a rather low profile to preserve emphasis on
the spectacular scene behind it. It rests on an even lower-profile wood
platform with integrated side tables, flanked by glossy Atollo side
table lamps by Vico Magistretti. A high gloss black wall reflects the
scene and scatters the light.
Clean marble cladding keeps the bathroom looking bright and fresh. Wood accents are used sparingly to add a touch of variety.
This next home takes a more organic approach to geometrically-inspired
interior decor, using bright color blocks in the living spaces and
subtle geometric prints elsewhere. Designer Andrew Skliarov had to fit a
lot of usefulness into a 60 square meter floorplan – as evidenced by creative solutions such as the hideaway office in the background here.
Clean lines, squared shapes, and simple materials define the living room
and kitchen. It’s nice to see a geometric theme expressed mostly
through furniture
and decor in a public area such as this, considering that wall
coverings or architectural details would be harder to change as trends
come and go.
In a home with few windows, such as this small apartment, it makes sense
to create extra depth by using contrasting dark and light wall colors
from room to room.
Tessellated wallpaper on the accent wall gives this room subtle
geometric flavor while the concentric circles of the rug help center the
eye. A bedspread printed with handwriting provides an organic offset
for contrast.
Besides the rug, other circular elements include an elegant wall mirror
and a convenient side table. Here, you can also see Patricia Urquiola’s
iconic husk chair – a great furniture choice for any
geometrically-inspired interior theme.
Do tree motifs count as geometric themes, perhaps because of their
fractal nature? This wallpaper is gorgeous regardless and adds plenty of
life to the entryway.
