How to Use Geometry in a Small Room?

Geometric patterns can make a room visually larger. All you need to know are a few simple rules.

• Choose wallpaper with vertical stripes — they visually stretch the ceiling upward.
  
• Or horizontal stripes, to visually make the wall longer and the room wider.
  
• Angular lines and shapes, such as diamonds, can also help stretch the ceiling.
  
• However, the size of geometric shapes on the walls should not be too large — the desired effect won't be achieved.

Adding Geometry as an Accent

This is how you can diversify the interior. What can you do?

Wallpaper with a geometric pattern on just one wall. Or decorate the wall with wooden or 3D panels. Lay tiles on the kitchen backsplash in an unusual way. Or choose tiles with a geometric pattern. Place a sofa or armchair with a geometric print upholstery. And don't forget about decor — pillows, throws, curtains or rugs.Design: Milla Kolkova
What to Pair With and How?

A winning combination is a graphic pattern on a monochrome background. That is, if you choose wallpaper with a geometric design, furniture should be without patterns. If you decide to lay a large carpet with a graphic pattern, the walls and floor should also be monochrome.

Don't be afraid to mix several patterns in accessories. For example, place three pillows with geometric designs. A flower pattern combined with geometry also looks great.
