Graphic Geometric Black and White ?

When we speak of 'graphic' or 'geometric' in interior design we automatically assume these designs to be black and white.

However when talking to people (= the buyers of your products) many find this combination too 'dominant' and even 'unlivable'.

Follow these simple tips to get the right look:

- Using a supporting colour increases the human comfort zone. For example the pink on picture 1 and the extra gold from picture 2.

- Balance the size of the pattern against the object or room size it will be used for. See pictures 2+3 and 4+7 for examples: the same pattern, different scale!

- Find the correct balance between the pattern colors themselves and the thickness of the lines. For example the helmet from picture 5 and the ceramics from picture 7.

- Divide the space that needs decorating in percentages. For example 50% plain colour, 30% accent colour and 20% patterned surface. As seen on picture 6: patterned carpets and cushions, grey-brown-charcoal accents from the painting and the sofa, all set against a plain coloured wall and ceiling.

Blue and White comes in many shades

A neverending story, the combination of blue and white. And it's so much more than 'beach style' !

A fascinating combination !

This Sequined Floral Cushion is a great example of:
> combining techniques:
printing and paillette embroidery

> combining colourpalettes:
divers bold colours with greyscale or ton-sur-ton effect in one design

> combining artistic styles:
vague watercolor flowers and detailed botanical prints

> the interacting combination of product versus surface design:
the playing with light and reflection is stimulated by the dimensions of the end product creating an overall added value

ORANGE: ethnic, retro or traditional

A color currently gaining popularity is orange. Giving a warm feel to any pattern type. The combination with other colours determines the final athmosphere.
