Geometrics

I have always been drawn to geometric fabrics and wall-coverings, especially in seemingly traditional spaces.  I call this a "graphic punch."  Repetition, symmetry, contrast or a very specific color scheme are the elements that make a graphic room successful.  

Kelly Wearstler is in my opinion the modern day master of said "graphic punch."

However, before Kelly, David Hicks and Alan Campbell were creating textiles that are still readily used (and knocked off) today...

Suzanne Kasler uses the very popular, (and graphic) greek key motif on a bench at the foot of her four poster bed.

Jonathan Adler looooves him some geometric prints (his Bargello pillows are fun and bright).

I love how the black/white greek key fabric makes this otherwise serene room, "pop."

Ruthie Sommers used a green/white geometric print on two chairs in this cheerful Living Room.  If you are willing to commit to such a print on something other than a pillow, small-scale chairs are perfect for experimentation.  

I used Kravet's "Diamante" in this bathroom. 

Geometric wall-coverings are not for the faint of heart, but I love them!  This Beacon Hill apartment meshes traditional furniture with a bold but neutral geometric wallpaper.
