Home Decor Geometrical Style

By Owen Bruce

Geometry is sometimes used in a rooms design due to the shapes and lines which are provided in furniture pieces. Usually a paint color is chosen before you figure out exactly what type of furniture you'll be putting in the space except sometimes it is actually easier to use furniture as the starting point if the room is a unique shape.

Although it's true that a room is static in that it has fixed and definite dimensions, it's also dynamic in the sense that you could make it look differently proportioned than it really is. By just mixing up the shapes and the lines that you use to decorate a room, you can drastically change how it looks overall.

No matter what type of house you move into one room sticks out to you. You don't understand the purpose of a window placement or the dimensions of the room so what do you do if you can research the design techniques which follow the geometrical decor. It will be able to advise you what exactly you should be looking for when designing in this room's space. You then can base your paint and the rest of the little decor around the wonderful furniture pieces which best fit this rooms shape.

Before putting in any new decor pieces, give the room a long hard look first. Consider how you'll be using the room and how many people you intend to have in it at any one time. It helps to be realistic when doing interior design, especially here where you play with the proportions and visual size of a room. No matter what illusions you use, you can only make an eight foot square room look spacious but not actually spacious enough for, say a living room or a recreation area. You can only influence the visual size of the room, so don't mix up visually fixing and physically redecorating it.

After you figure out exactly which way the furniture and objects should be placed you'll have to figure out which geometric shape will fit your rooms design. If you want the room to seem longer try using lines which will stretch out the view of the room. In other shorter rooms you can use lines as well but make them much shorter and box them together if applicable.

You may sometimes see curved furniture and wonder if you're able to use them in your type of space. Curved items are usually able to be used in any type of room's space but make sure you aren't carrying them out too much in the design. You can break up the curved effect with a few straight lines such as with the coffee tables and end tables.

If you have a boxier room you'll want to stick with tables which are more rectangular rather than an oval one. For a larger room which has curved wall the rounded tables and furniture will work perfectly. Always try to be creative when basing a room around a geometric design.
