Bold geometric prints left a definitive mark on the design world during the mod years of the 1960s and has transformed into a classically modern décor staple. Putting your showiest graphic print on a rug, instantly anchors your whole room design. Geometric patterns have a lot of visual weight, making them ideal for area rugs that fit anywhere with ease and grace.
These patterns are eclectic, from triangles, circles and hexagons, to motifs inspired by Ikats or traditional Moroccan lattice and trellis designs. Sometimes geometric rugs include repetition of more organic patterns inspired by nature, like leaves or petals.
The beauty of geometry is that it's both vivid and subtle. You can let the rug command the attention against sleek, solid furniture. It can provide the perfect foundation for any space's style and create the rest of the room's colour palette. Or you can blend it with the rest of your décor by choosing a repetition of classic shapes and patterns.
Like all rugs, the colour and tone of your geometric rug will create different moods and atmospheres. A black and white geometric rug is modern and energetic without compromising colour choices. If you want to create a warm, inviting space, opt for warm colours.
Soft, tonal grey geometric rugs are great if you want to create a calmer mood also offering design flexibility in showcasing cool colours. Although choosing darker hues in rich colours like gemstone purples and deep navy blue will help the area rug wear better.
Don't be afraid of mixing patterns on patterns either. If you have a geometric rug in the living room, then get a few patterned throw pillows too. Other ways to accessorise your space with pattern are with ceramics, light shades and even curtains. Repeating the same pattern elsewhere helps create balance and dynamic accent pieces.
