Importance of Geometry in Your Home Decor

Importance of Geometry in Your Home Decor There are different principles in home decor that one needs to  consider while designing their home to ensure that their space looks  pleasant and appealing. While the colour palette, material & texture  are crucial factors to consider, there are some basic underlying  principles that you should bear in mind to achieve a look that is  balanced and appealing to the eye. Harmony amongst the different  materials used, a sense of balance in the overall appearance etc  are some factors that will help you achieve your goal of designing  the perfect home.  Geometry of the space and its relationship with the products used is  another crucial factor to consider. ​Contemporary​ interior design​ i​ s  incomplete without analysing the geometry involved. Here are some  reasons why geometry plays an important role.   • Geometry is the science of shapes, and shapes play a very  important role in the decor of a home. The shape of the space, and  the way it needs to be treated is unique. For instance, a rectangular  room is treated much differently as compared to a space that might  be an open form. Thus, the first step is to determine the shape of the  space and to seek an understanding of the way the volume should  be treated.   • It is also important to understand the concept of harmony amongst  shapes. If you are someone who is very fond of using different  objects in your space, it is important to achieve a sense of harmony  amongst different shapes and pieces used. For instance, if you  choose to have a series of paintings, you could either opt for a series  of rectangular paintings or a combination of square and rectangular 

frames. However, mixing of one too many geometric shapes can  give a look of confusion and chaos. Likewise, if you want to have  different sculptures at home, try to find a sense of similarity or unity  amongst them. Often, similar sculptures of different heights or a  progression of designs are used to create a wholesome appeal.   • Many c​ ontemporary interior design i​deas​ are now incomplete  without wallpapers and patterns. If you choose to add patterns and  shapes to your walls, or even to your floor in terms of carpets or tiles,  it is advisable to choose patterns that are in sync with each other. If  you are using wallpapers with stripes, try to choose shapes that are in  harmony with them. You could choose to use solid colours, lines of  varying thickness or shapes like squares, rectangles, circles etc. One  should refrain from using organic shapes and free-flowing lines as  they do not compliment the nature of straight lines and traditional  shapes.   Likewise, if you are planning to take up shapes that are organic or  choose floral or organic motifs, try to follow a similar sense of  geometry throughout. Circles, florals motifs and organic shapes can  be teamed together for a pleasing appearance.   • Understanding the volume of the space also helps in choosing the  right accessories for your home. The size of the artefacts used should  be proportionate to the size of the room. You may have  encountered badly designed spaces, where very small spaces are  adorned with large murals, sculptures etc that make the space look  claustrophobic and messy. This is the result of poor or no  understanding of the geometry of the space and how to treat it.   Understanding the geometry of your space and the right usage of  shapes and patterns can help you achieve a look that is well  balanced and appeasing to look at. We hope that these tips help 

you create a relaxing and welcoming home for you and your loved  ones.   There are different principles in home decor that one needs to  consider while designing their home to ensure that their space looks  pleasant and appealing.
