Geometry in the interior

The perception of an unfamiliar room is influenced by the style, design, color range. But that is not all! In fact, geometry has a much greater effect. This factor is decisive in the first "acquaintance" with the interior. It depends on him whether he wants to stay in one room or another or, on the contrary, leave it as soon as possible. The influence of geometry on the human psyche has been proven in the course of scientific research. Therefore, this factor should be taken into account when designing apartments and when developing a landscape design.

Features and psychology of perception

The impression that geometry has on us in interior design is a signal of the degree of comfort in a given space. The introduction of geometric shapes can unrecognizable change the appearance of the room, improve or worsen its perception. Simple forms are perceived much easier than complex ones. In addition, they are better remembered. In the perception of a circle, square, rectangle, triangle, the distribution of attention occurs in different ways.
Even in antiquity, it was observed that geometric forms affect the emotional sphere of man. The square is associated with organization and competence, the circle represents goodwill, generosity, the triangle indicates leadership, pragmatism, sense of purpose.


    

What styles are used

Interiors with geometric elements in trend again. They are experiencing another peak of their popularity. Spectacular circles, zigzags, triangles, honeycombs again occupy an honorable place in the design of the premises. They fill the space with simplicity, elegance and at the same time give it dynamics and rhythm.
Such techniques are mainly used in modern styles. Most often they are introduced into hi-tech, pop art, loft, minimalism, scandi, eco. Here the geometry is present in the decoration, in the furniture and decor, in the lighting. Traditional and ethnic styles also do not go unheeded. Geometric figures "sound" in such interiors with modern notes, allow you to see the space in a new way.

Geometric Furniture

Many designers are fans of simple and concise forms. Therefore, they are happy to invent all new samples of furniture in the form of geometric shapes. Straight lines, rhombuses and triangles are embodied in fancy chairs, elegant tables and unusual chairs. Such furniture is an active accent in the room. Clear edges and unusual shapes will delight the owners and surprise guests. In order for the furniture not to merge with the wall and look even more spectacular, it requires a neutral background. The geometric pattern on the upholstery can completely change the design. The best basis for it will be upholstered furniture of simple forms. A calm monochrome finish and a minimum of decor and accessories will help him to appear even brighter. The expressiveness of the furniture depends on its colors and materials. The black shelf and the red chair of the triangles will always look more expressive and graphic than the beige or lilac counterparts. And the upholstery of the futuristic sofa of geometric motifs will lose its dynamism, being made of textiles. Plus this furniture in its versatility - it fits any style.


Geometry in the elements of decor

Bored with the monotony and monotony of the interior? Geometrical accessories in the blink of an eye will turn a boring room into a stylish and modern space. Decor can be a great way out when there is no opportunity to make a full repair. Fill the room with fancy vases, polygonal flower pots, candlesticks, mirrors from connected hexagons, garlands and hanging modules in the form of crystals, paintings and clocks in sharply defined frames. They will make the room creative and original.


    

Accessories should be placed in the composition center of the room. In a spacious room there can be several such "islands", in a small one - no more than one. You need to pick up items in such a way that they can "make friends" among themselves. Ideally, if they are made in the same way and differ only in shape and size.

Geometry and lighting

Lamps in geometric style can not be confused with other representatives of the lighting design. They are distinguished by rigor and conciseness, as well as simplicity of lines and shapes. The variety of options presented is amazing. Geometric ceiling can be made of metal, plastic, wood, glass, paper. They are presented in the form of open "crystals" of metal rods or closed structures. For the first you need to provide lighting devices that do not have a negative impact on vision. Best of all, LED elements will cope with this task. A variety of multi-faceted designs is amazing. Chandeliers, floor lamps, spots are shaped like a cube, cylinder, prism, tetrahedron, sphere, cone, pyramid. Such decorative elements give a truly unlimited possibilities for design. Incredibly attractive ceiling with lace edges. The light breaking through the holes draws delicate lace patterns on the walls and ceiling. They fill the room with mystery and magic.


    

Geometry on the floor, walls and even on the ceiling

You can create geometric accents using trim. Besides the fact that these design elements make the interior bright and creative, they also help to adjust the space. To enter the figures in the room you can:

  • draw - for this purpose they use paint or liquid wallpaper of contrasting or close colors with different saturation;
  • stick - suitable non-woven, paper, fabric wallpaper or ceramic tile with a geometric pattern, mosaic.

    

You can decorate the walls and the ceiling with geometric shapes using moldings. This technique is widely used in the classics or provence. For modern interiors suitable wallpaper with triangles, hexagons, parallelepipeds, 3D-panels with protruding vertices of the pyramids. It is not necessary to stick all the walls with active prints - it is enough to arrange separate sections with them. Thus, it is possible to emphasize a special zone - the accent wall or the space above the sofa. You can distinguish the premises by breaking it into zones.
On a high ceiling volumetric geometric figures made of plasterboard look spectacular. They slightly underestimate the surface and turn the room into a fantastic room. Flat suspended objects are also appropriate, as well as the selection of individual sections of the tension cloths and mirrors.
On the floor, you can use the chess layout tiles. The most frequently chosen contrasting combinations are black with white or red, blue with yellow or white, red with green or blue. Geometric pattern on the tile will support similarly shaped furniture, lamps and accessories.

Stripes

A simple and elegant design that adds room to the room and helps to correct its flaws. Wide strips of contrasting colors look solemn and elegant. You can soften the effect of the ceremonial atmosphere by replacing the clearly defined lines with a pattern with blurred edges. A thin strip is not so striking, and therefore harmoniously combined with other ornaments. By placing the strips horizontally, you can make the wall visually wider and visually lower the ceilings. This technique helps to bring the shape of the room to the square. Vertical stripes will distract attention from irregularities and curvature of surfaces, as well as give the room additional space by raising the ceiling. The pattern can be applied to the wall with your own hands. For this useful masking tape or duct tape. This solution is especially important for a small hallway, the area of ​​which is to be increased.

Squares

Squares are not allowed to change the space, but they can make it more calm and balanced. The square is the main symbol of stability and order. It fills the dwellers with confidence in their own well-being. Square panels, frames, lamps, carpet on the floor will give a feeling of peace and make the interior complete. The square built into the checkered pattern is especially attractive. Textiles in the kitchen, upholstered sofa in the office or children's room create a cozy homely atmosphere. Checkered tablecloths and napkins have a long intimate conversations.


    

Zigzag

Zigzags are broken stripes. They have the same abilities as their kindred rectilinear ornament. But for curved bands, they are many times higher. Zigzag is endowed with enhanced room correction features. If flat vertical stripes visually raise the ceilings by 15 cm, then their undulating "relatives" are able to "drop" the line of intersection of the wall and the ceiling by 40 cm! The same will be the efficiency and horizontal options. Therefore, to introduce curved lines into the interior should be very carefully and metered. They will be appropriate in the form of several light bands - horizontal or aspiring to the ceiling, or a carpet with contrasting elements.

Get rid of the "taunts" of the pattern on the walls will help multi-color images of zigzags. The same advice can be given regarding the design of the floor and ceiling. Gentle and elegant to extend or lengthen the room will help lines with unclear edges, made in similar shades.

Circles and ovals

Harmony and perfection - this is what round and oval shapes carry into the interior. Their outlines soften the aggressiveness of angular details, create a relaxed, free atmosphere. The circle is the most positive figure devoid of prickly corners and edges. Round furnishings fit into any room. An oval or round tabletop holds far more people than a rectangular or square one. In the interior, you can mark the circumference with the help of accessories, furniture and decoration. Rounded furnishings - beds, sofas, dressers will make the room soft and calm. Round or oval frames for photos, pictures and mirrors, clocks, ceiling lamps, suspended ceiling and carpet will support the basic idea of ​​the design. The main thing is to observe a sense of proportion. It is worthless to overpay a room with round objects. It is better to combine them with square pieces of furniture and neutral backgrounds. For example, in a room where the walls are decorated with round frames, it is worth picking up plain textiles, because the print with circles on the curtains and pillows will be a brute force. On the round carpet is better to install a rectangular coffee table. So, with the help of one figure, you can compensate for the "closeness" of others.


    

Rectangles

Rectangular shapes look elegant and simple in the interior. They go well with square shapes and circles. For such compositions should be selected calm color combinations. Excessive variegation can tire your eyesight and even cause dizziness. It is best to complement bright colors with neutral shades or use different versions of the same color. Contrast combinations are permissible in children's rooms or in living rooms, which are solved in bold trends of pop art style. In classical interiors, pastel patterns create a sense of stability and balance. Large rectangular elements fill the room with calm and measured. Small multi-color ornaments, on the contrary, make the interior dynamic, set a certain rhythm. Most often we meet rectangles and squares in the flooring - tile, laminate, granite, flooring. They help create a decent foundation for the rest of the design components.


    

Honeycomb or octagons

Interior elements can be non-trivial and interesting. The use of octagons, hexagons, which are differently called "honeycombs", will help to diversify the design, make it unusual and unique. This is a kind of reference to the octagonal Feng Shui, which teaches how to equip your home so as to create conditions for a happy and healthy life. Octagonal elements are often used to create oriental interiors. Here all the space is built around an octagonal table or aquarium. Tables, chairs, shelves of the same shape serve as additional strokes. Combine space dial mirrors resembling crystals. Octagons appear in the decoration - most often in the form of wall or floor tiles, wallpaper. Or you can simply draw the shapes with a stencil and paint them in adjacent or contrasting colors. Such work will not take a lot of time, but will help to effectively arrange the room. The collections of octagonal tiles include plain pieces and fragments with illustrations. Such materials are ideal for laying kitchen apron.


    

Geometry Zoning

Geometry superpowers are not limited to a set of tools for changing space. This is the perfect tool for competent zoning. Functional zones are distinguished using accent trim in the form of strips, triangles, circles, honeycombs. The space is completely filled with geometrical figures or they define the role of edging, and in the interval they place photowall-paper or fractal posters. In the living room, they decorate the space above the sofa, behind the TV, or in a similar way emit a short wall next to the dining group. You can draw a line between zones using a line on the floor, using laminate or tile in a contrasting color. A popular method of zone designation is to place a rectangle of darker tiles under the dining room group or in the center of the working space inside the U-shaped headset.

Conclusion

Geometry is an important component of any interior, which affects the psychological state of a person. Therefore, you need to choose one or another prints and ways of placing them with the utmost care.
