Form, beauty, and architecture define our work. They inform how we approach every home design project, and they push us to pursue excellence in craft. And with those three design priorities comes a major principle: work your angles.

As geometric trends continue to dominate the design world in fashion and home decor styles–from chandelier earrings to chandelier lighting–we see a corresponding appreciation for geometric home design. Dramatic angles, cubic spaces, and a love of structure as form have attained new respect in recent years…but it’s no surprise. We’ve always known that deep down…we all love math.

Geometry in the Home

This trend in style and decor gets down the heart of something architects have known for years: angles and geometric patterns are a part of life, and we can use them to simultaneously better form and beauty.

While you may not have loved math class, these patterns and forms are something you likely appreciate daily in your home. Our Issaquah home design House in a Mountain Meadow is a prime example:

In this hallway, rafters push beyond basic support to add an element of style to the space, bringing the eye upwards to enjoy the blend of triangles, trapezoids, and more with a ceiling that’s anything but dull. Various shapes and angles from the walls, skylights, rafters, and furniture blend together for a modern and geometrically intriguing space that’s warm and welcoming.

While this resurgence in the love of geometric form and balance may someday go out of style in fashion, geometric home design is a timeless look that maintains a sense of interest and intrigue, form and function.
