The Honeycomb as a Replacement for Polka Dots? |
Graphic design is a big part of enhancing our interiors. From wallpaper to rugs, popular repetitive patterns have a permanent place in home design. Some patterns are bold, and stand on their own as the centerpiece to a room, some patterns mix well with a collection of other patterns, as they have similar shapes and styles.
The repetitive patterns of the simple stripes, squares and circles...
...have opened doors to honeycombs, fish scales and chevron. Even the greek key pattern and an update on the traditional scroll have found a new face.
Fish scales: Kas Transitions Collection in Ivory
Chevron: Jaipur Maroc Collection in Sand
Greek Key: Jaipur City Collection in Burnt Olive
Honeycomb: Jaipur Maroc Collection in Poppy
As with any pattern, decorating with geometric shapes inspires a creative streak that can be both inventive and completely orderly. Juxtaposing modern shapes with a more classic shape is a way to embrace the traditional, while working your modern flair into your decor.
The modern Jonathan Adler fixtures in this bathroom, for example, are matched against a traditional scrolled mirror and marble countertop.

Get clever. Look for patterns in everyday objects. Find patterns that resonante with your decor and let them be the centerpiece around which all other patterns and colors are based. The arrows in this kid room decor infuse a delightful color palette with oh so much personality.
