Get Your Space in Shape: Transform Your Home with Perfect Geometry

Your home is a reflection of your personality and style, and as we enter a New Year, let’s refresh your look by embracing the beauty of different shapes in your home decor. While symmetry has its appeal, introducing a variety of shapes can add visual interest, create balance, and make your space more dynamic. In this blog, we'll explore how you can start the New Year by getting your space in shape by decorating your home with items of different shapes – round, oval, square – to create a simultaneously harmonious, and eclectic space.

Mixing Shapes in Furniture

One way to add shape to your home decor is by diversifying the shapes of your furniture pieces. Instead of sticking to traditional square or rectangular coffee tables, consider incorporating circular or oval ones. A round dining table can bring a sense of inclusivity to your dining area, while a mix of chairs with various shapes (and textures) can create an inviting and playful atmosphere.

• Product Highlight: The Brussels Collection Coffee Table in Champagne Gold finish by Elk Home is utterly unique and always bold with its metal construction and circular tempered glass top. 
• Product Highlight: The Opus Collection Dining Table in White & Gold finish by Zuo Modern is a stylish and hardworking table for all of your spaces: kitchen, living room, office, or bar area. Its design of a disc floating on a pedestal that appears to emerge from the ground will add unparalleled dimension to whichever room you place it in. 
• Product Highlight: The elegant Tolivere Collection Dining Chair in Gray finish by Zuo Modern perfectly compliments the Zuo Modern Atlas Collection Dining Table. Its deep green velvet upholstery is extra soft and comfortable to sit on. The Tolivere Collection Dining Chair is also available in a Green finish or a Pink finish. 

Rugs and Carpets

Introduce diversity underfoot with rugs of various shapes. Oval, round, or patterned rugs can add an unexpected element to your space. Layering rugs with different shapes and textures can create a cozy and visually appealing focal point in any room.

Lighting Fixtures

Illuminate your space with lighting fixtures that come in a variety of shapes. Pendant lights, large chandeliers, and flush mounts can be found in circular, square, or abstract designs. Mixing these shapes adds depth and interest to your lighting scheme, creating a more engaging ambiance.

• Product Highlight: The Valley Collection LED Pendant light in Chrome finish by Eurofase features carved polished chrome rings with an inner LED diffused light that adds a modern touch to your living space. 

Wall Decor

Blank walls are a canvas waiting to be adorned with a mix of shapes. Combine square or rectangular framed art with circular mirrors to break up the monotony. Experiment with a gallery wall featuring different-shaped frames to showcase your favorite memories from 2023 and artworks that will inspire you in 2024.

• Product Highlight: The Mirror in Natural/Mirror finish by Currey and Company features a round shape and is constructed of a composition on natural horn detailing that makes the natural horn appear seamless. This mirror is also available in a square shape.

Cushions and Throws

Enhance the comfort and style of your seating areas by incorporating cushions and throws in different shapes. Mix square and rectangular pillows with round or bolster cushions. This not only adds comfort but also contributes to a more visually stimulating and textured environment.

• Product Highlight: The Bellford Collection Pillow in Azure finish by ELK Home features an easy clean, removable square cover in a soft azure color. The goose down feather fill ensures your pillow feels as great as it looks. 

Plant Life

Introduce the organic shapes of plants to your decor. Potted plants come in various shapes and sizes, from tall and slender to short and bushy. Consider planter pots in irregular textures or hanging planters in geometric shapes to bring nature indoors while adding an artistic touch to your home.

• Product Highlight: The Set of 2 Pots in Antique Verde finish by ELK Home has textured edges that add a touch of rustic charm to your house plants.  

Decorating your home with items of different shapes is a creative way to infuse your living space with personality and charm as you start the new year. By embracing diversity in shapes, you can create a visually stimulating environment that reflects your unique style. Experiment with various shape elements, mix and match, and let your creativity run wild as you transform your home into a haven of beauty. Remember, it's your special composition of shapes that adds depth and character to your living spaces.
