Sharp Design: Decorating with Geometrics

featuring “Land Schematics II” by Michael Lawrence

Crisp lines, bold patterns, and vibrant colors; what’s not to love about geometrics?! Bold, shape-based décor can create bright and modern interiors, particularly in commercial design spaces. Geometric imagery can instantly add visual interest to a wall and printing it on alternative substrates such as acrylic or metal will add unique texture. Geometry can help balance and harmonize a space, making simple shaped patterns and prints perfect for a wallcovering.  Want to add a pop of color?  Geometric wall art with clean lines is an easy way to make it happen or help keep your space cohesive and monochrome.  Whether you are designing an office space or a living space, geometrics are the perfect modern trend for a chic design!

Trends – Color Blocks and Soft Shapes

Color-blocking is a strong trend this year and we were inspired by this post by Fashion Vignette to share some of our own transitional abstract art, which complements these patterns, textiles, fashion and interior concepts.

Color blocks can be clean and simple. Dark and light alternates to connote open doorways, architectural plans, city blocks, agricultural fields. Because the shapes are simple, color becomes the main player in leading the viewer’s eye around the image and creating interesting focal points.

Color blocks don’t have to be square. They can also be irregular and dynamic, shifting and moving like tectonic plates. Imagine the images seen in a kaleidoscope, caught in the act of morphing into something different but equally as beautiful.

Areas of color can also maintain a shape, but not necessarily be geometric. Soft shapes may be clean and clear, or softly blurred together like a painting in the rain.
