The geometric decoration it is a tendency that refuses to abandon us. In fact, it can be considered that patterns with triangles, rhombuses, circles, squares, etc… are a classic in decoration.
In the reform of the following apartment located in Edinburgh (Scotland), they have tastefully combined the geometric print for the walls and textiles. To do this, they have been inspired by a retro style that can be obtained thanks to wallpapers such as those proposed as an example and that you will find in Papelesdelos70.
Geometric decoration in the living room
On the walls of the room has been placed a patterned wallpaper with shapes hexagonal in different shades of grey. The walls perfectly match the striped carpet of the same range of neutral tones.
The ceilings, doors and baseboards are white and the furniture has straight and simple lines. To break with so much neutrality and give it a little life, the textiles have been chosen in strong tones. In fact, it is a great success to combine the orange of the armchair with the deep blue of the sofa, since there are two complementary colors that contrast with neutral tones of the rest of the elements of the room.
It is also worth noting the detail of the hexagonal mirrors located above the console, matching the geometric pattern of the wall paper.

Decorate the bedrooms and the bathroom with triangles
The house has two bedrooms and both have been decorated in a similar way. In the first bedroom, the neutral tone of the triangular-shaped wallpaper has been combined with an intense and warm color such as orange. The result has been spectacular, it doesn’t look garish, in fact everything is very studied so as not to give the feeling of being overwhelmed.
In the second bedroom, the color chosen to provide warmth is a mustard tone. As in the other bedroom, the furniture has straight and simple lines so as not to overload the decoration.

Keys for a geometric decoration
Personally, I think that the greatest success of this apartment has been choosing neutral and timeless tones for the geometric patterns of the wallpaper and the carpet on the floor. By combining them with brightly colored textiles and furniture with simple lines, a harmonious and balanced result has been achieved, but at the same time, with life and personality.
In the kitchen, the geometric pattern on the walls and ceiling becomes the main protagonist. The strategic distribution of different points of light reduces the feeling of being overwhelmed.
On the other hand, in the bedrooms, a serene decoration with a touch of color in the textiles has been chosen again. Contrary to what happens in the bathroom, where the intensity is focused on the geometric pattern of the wallpaper to break with the monotony of white.
