Geometric

The architect

Rectangles and square are proof that straight edge shapes create more strong emotions such as power, linearity and reliability. Since squares and rectangles generate a sense of stability and balance, these geometric wallpaper motifs are good choices for office spaces. Imagine something like Miami Deco 5, a very striking piece that has loads of squares and rectangles, but rendered in almost an architectural drawing. Not only does it look cool and trendy, but it still enforces the previously discussed characteristics of strength and solidity. This can make for a great post-modern decor but is also very flexible in the sense that it could work with some retro pieces. Geometric wallpaper is another versatile element in Photowall's superb selection of wallpapers coming from the surfaces & textures tier.

How to use geometric wallpaper

In addition to adding pizzazz to your room, geometric wallpaper can create a specific mood. Have you ever noticed how you feel when you see particular shape? Different shapes, depending on the setting they are in, can dictate some kind of emotion or at least, a reaction. One must be careful however, when taking advantage of this phenomenon when using a geometric wallpaper. Too many shapes or too much of one shape can give off a high energy vibe and a sort of frenetic edginess, but could also trigger vague feelings of annoyance. The impact of geometric wallpaper is subtle, even unconscious sometimes, but it is definitely there. Psychologists have long recognized that geometric shapes have, or will seek, a place in our mental and emotional landscapes. This is why they use them a lot in personality tests, another interesting trivia to consider when selecting your geometric wallpaper. To make it simple, the shapes you put in your home décor, in the form of geometric wallpaper, should create moods that you want and desire.
