When will I ever need to use the Pythagorean theorem?

It’s not an unreasonable question. A lot of textbook lessons have limited real-life applications. Geometry is not one of them, though. The sharp angles and striking shapes you studied in tenth grade actually offer endless design options, particularly when it comes to lighting your home.

The best part about geometric lighting fixtures is you don’t have to use a protractor or solve any problems with letters. You simply choose the one that fits your style, and it’ll do all the work for you.

Why is it On the Rise?

Geometric shapes are not a new design trend. Many people may see repeating hexagons or psychedelic circles and remember the 1970s. Others relate sharp angles and opaque globes to art deco lighting. You could argue these designs are cyclical. But the real reason this trend keeps finding its way back to the forefront is simple: geometry is bold.

Whether it’s an oversized circle or odd shape with a dozen intersecting arms, the simplicity of geometric lighting fixtures is eye-catching. Your brain is not used to seeing these mathematical structures in a setting that is far from formulaic. Even in a contemporary home, geometric pendant lighting has a tendency to steal the show.

It’s no wonder interior designers return to geometric lighting over and over again. The right geometric piece will:

  • Elevate the entire décor to another level of class and sophistication
  • Create a certain mood – from playful to purposeful
  • Invoke wonder and amazement
  • Add a touch of artistic imagination

What Defines a Geometric Lighting Fixture?

By definition, geometric lighting fixtures are unlike anything else in the room. “Uniqueness” can be hard to pinpoint, but there are a few features of a geometric light fixture that make it definitively true. If your light fixture has any of these elements, you can rest assured it will stand out:

  • Repeated patterns
  • Straight lines
  • Sharp edges
  • Globes
  • Rectangles
  • Squares
  • Triangles
  • Unexplainable forms

With geometric lighting, you also have an array of compatible fixture types. Pendants, chandeliers, table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces can all be made into geometric wonders. So you can think outside of the box with your lighting scheme – maybe even outside your home.

Where Can You Use Geometric Lighting Fixtures?

Every room in your house – inside and out – could incorporate some form of geometric lighting. But it’s not just the placement within the home that matters. The style has to work, too. That doesn’t mean your decor has to be Art Deco or 1970s-inspired, however; while they have innate modernity about them, the right materials can instantly turn a triangular cage into a rustic charmer.
