On Trend: Colorful Geometric Accessories Keep Rooms in Shape
Bright color combinations and geometric patterns add dimension and texture to buff up interior decor
Maybe it's the shorter days, but this time of year always has me searching for bright colors to warm up my interiors. Fall trends join in with an emphasis on bold color combinations, typographic elements and lots of geometric patterns, shapes and silhouettes.
You can choose a big, bold accessory or add the geometric look on a smaller, neutral scale. There's definitely something to fit your personal style. But whatever approach you choose, you'll bring warmth and pattern to your home at the same time.

Light Up the Family Set
Husband and wife design team the Novogratzes are going strong with a new line at CB2. It's as New York and colorful as they are, including this favorite light-up wall piece.
Ikea PS 2012 Blue Candlestick
Ikea's PS 2012 collection includes a modern candlestick holder with a modular, adjustable form — rearrange it to suit your mood and the occasion. Even when the piece asymmetrical, its modern lines hold strong and stable.
Tumbling E Vintage Eye Chart
Typography is a strong trend in decor right now. Join it without losing your vintage vibe by hanging this classic eye chart on your wall. The repetition of the "E" is mesmerizing and abstract.
Multi Bargello Honeycomb Pillow
Jonathan Adler may be the king of all things colorful and geometric, and his latest pillows don't disappoint. I particularly like these hexagonal targets. Try one of these on a simply colored sofa.
Ikea PS 2012 Red Bowls
These red bowls from Ikea fold flat when not in use, which further highlights their grounding in geometric forms. Careful joints around the base of the bowl look fantastic, and storing them is a breeze!
Optic Arrowhead Throw
Update your living room in one fell swoop with a geometric reversible throw like this one from West Elm. The optical effect will add texture to your living spaces.
Faceted Antique Mirror
The repetitive triangles on this mirror subtly nod to the geometric trend. But the effect is no less striking, with little snippets of your room reflected from all of its angles. It would add a quick burst of detail to an entryway.
Erich Ginder Dot Dash Hanging Lamp
"Pleated lampshade" takes on a whole new meaning when used to describe these pendant lights. The view from the interior is just as gorgeous — I'd hang one of these over a dining table so people could see the inside as well as the outside.
