From fashion runways to interior design, bold geometric prints are just about everywhere you turn. These striking and versatile patterns look great in any style home, making them extremely easy to incorporate. Here are some tips on how to bring those artful hexagons, quatrefoils, diamonds, and more into your space.
Start small
With geometrics, a little goes a long way, so it’s completely okay to start small. Add a few bold touches of a favorite pattern by way of throw pillows, an accent rug, or on the cushion of a side chair. But to avoid chaos, only pick one. Small doses of patterns will let you experiment without committing until you’re ready to.
Let your light shine 
A great place to use geometric prints is on light fixtures. If you aren’t quite ready for a chandelier shaped like a star or honeycomb, go for a modern and edgy print for a lampshade. Little details like this can really shine with character.
Deck the walls
Adding geometric prints to your wall are the easiest way to a dramatic statement. If you’re the bold type, consider wallpapering your entryway or powder room. If you aren’t quite up to that yet, simply create a single accent wall in the living or dining room. Still aren’t ready for that? No worries, stick with something a bit simpler, like framed pieces of patterned fabric clustered together in a display, or even a collection of uniquely shaped mirrors.
Stick with subtle details
Perhaps you have non-geometric patterns that you prefer for accents. If that’s the case, you could keep a geometric pattern such as chevron for a tile backsplash or wood floor. It’ll be there, but it won’t be quite as obvious as if it were on something that quickly draws the eye.
Do it up big
If you love a particular pattern and just can’t get enough, showcase it in a big way. For example, recover your sofa in your favorite pattern and then layer the look by mixing patterns on other items throughout the room. Or, simply repeat your favorite [single] pattern throughout the space and in varying colors. You can even paint your favorite patterns on pieces of furniture.
Soften up a bit
While geometrics are beautiful, they can become a bit harsh if there’s nothing to counteract them. To keep this from happening, add a few patterns that contain curves, such as waves or circles to soften the space.
