New Trend for 2009 : Geometrics

We asked design director of Harlequin, Claire Vallis, to share one of her favourite new trends for 2009.

'I'm a big fan of this flowing geometric-design wallpaper with its Art Deco inspiration - it's just so right for now! Wonderfully simple and yet so effective, the dark tones and metallic hits are bang on trend. Whether you use it on a feature wall or all over, it's guaranteed to bring warmth and depth to any room.

Ideal Home tip

If you're worried this style will be too overpowering, why not use a statement wallpaper on just one wall, or dot a few geometric-inspired accessories around your room.
