GEOMETRIC PATTERNS

the STYLE RULES

RETHINK NEUTRALS

As an alternative to whites and creams on walls, try using a very pale blue paint as a cool neutral. If you’re feeling brave, offset with a deeper turquoise or add dimension with panelling or panel-effect wallpaper.

MAKE PATTERNS POP

Clash oranges, pinks and yellows against a plain backdrop and introduce small-scale geometric prints on upholstery, textiles and accessories.

JUXTAPOSE FLOORING

A concrete-effect floor has a modern industrial feel. Layer with a colourful postmodern-style rug.

CHOOSE AESTHETIC PIECES

Pick furniture with smooth and simple lines in contemporary oak. Accessorise with statement lighting and vases featuring abstract forms and geo designs.

the STYLE RULES

PICK A MODERN COLOUR PALETTE

Mustard and grey give a Scandi vibe when paired with hints of monochrome for depth. Pale grey is an updated alternative to traditional neutrals on walls.

CHOOSE AN ACCENT CHAIR

A smart grey sofa is another on-trend choice, particularly when teamed with a popping yellow armchair. Jazz up plain upholstery with bold geometric print cushions in co-ordinating shades of both mustard and grey.

PLEASE THE EYE WITH ANGLES

Mirror textile prints by hanging graphic artwork and choosing modular shelving that form geometric alcoves. Cube nesting tables further echo the theme.
