Keen to give it a try? Whether you want to give your house a complete geometric makeover or just incorporate different bits and bobs into your existing scheme, we’re here to inspire and show you how.
1. Take it to the floor
If you want to keep your look traditional, take this throw-back trend to the floor by using accent tiles or textiles in your hallway, bathroom or living room. Keep it simple by buying a patterned rug for your front room or try your hand at some DIY and add patterned tiles to your hallway for a fresh modern twist.
