Hint of Geometry

This month's style tip is all about geometry. Bold linear shapes can give your home a contemporary twist and give a great alternative to the classic stripes and checks.

Arkona Harlequin


Create a feature with a striking geometric wallpaper or an impressive floor length set of patterned curtains.

or...

Personalise it!

Keep your room's simplicity and add gemoetric accents such as the above cushion made with Arkona fabric from Harlequin. (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors.) As an alternative and an elegant way of introducing geometrics, how about combining these striking designs with a touch of floral delicacy? This could also be a great compromise for you and your partner! A subtle colour palette will ensure the room doesn't become overpowering.

Experiment with:

  • A monochrome scheme - for a classic, easy to coordinate room
  • Trims - to soften the harsh lines
