As the adage says, history will repeat itself, and this time, you’re going to want to take notes. Influenced by movements like the 1960s Op Art period and Art Deco architecture and styling, geometric patterns are experiencing a revival that really packs a punch. Employing clean edges, sculptural elements, clever repeats, and vibrant colors, these bold and graphic designs will give your space a fresh, contemporary look that adds depth and dimension. Whether it’s playing the leading role as the backdrop to your wall like a tiled kitchen backsplash or wallpapered foyer or it’s subtly sprinkled throughout as an accent pillow or catchall, this playful pattern creates visual interest without the dizzying effect.
