Design Trends: CIRCLE SQUARE
We scouted the 2012 Interior Design Show to bring you some of the hottest interior trends for the coming year.
House Proud DesignTrends:
CIRCLE SQUARE
This trend celebrates simple geometric shapes.A 'Zen' style sophistication is acheived by emphasizing pure form and clean, uncluttered lines. Contrasting basic exaggerated shapes against stripped down backdrops creates visual interest and drama. A strong shape makes a single element or key furniture piece 'art' and the focal point of a space. Traditional pieces are made contemporary by eliminating embellishments and overstating form.
Where To Find It :
Lighting fixtures and fireplaces.
Primitive geometric patterns.
Oversized tables, mirrors and wall pieces.
