8 Ways to treasure the diamond pattern at home Apr 11th 2013, 10:00 Houzz/Mark English Architects, AIA The diamond pattern is a standout and classic geometric design. Used for centuries as a motif on things like clothing, quilts and even knitted garments, this pattern is still just as popular now as it was hundreds of years ago. Whether you have a contemporary, modern, eclectic or traditional interior, this timeless pattern can find a home on your bathroom walls, carpets and furniture -- even on your dinner table. Here are some examples of how the simple diamond pattern can translate into unexpected finishes around the homes. Eclectic Bathroom by San Francisco Interior Designer Jerry Jacobs Design, Inc. 1. Decorate your furniture. Classic pieces of furniture like this demilune cabinet work extremely well with many different decor styles. This beauty has a diamond pattern carved into its facade, so it harmonizes with the black and white diamond-shaped floor tile in the hall. Contemporary Bedroom by Irvine Architect m.a.p. interiors inc. / Sylvia Beez 2. Furnish your sitting room. Comfort is paramount when choosing seating for a room. What we upholster our furnishings in can make or break that comfort. These wingback chairs look welcoming and luxurious. Plain white fabric can sometimes seem a little dull, but on these the diamond pattern and chrome studding invite plenty of personality into the room. Eclectic Kitchen by Denver Design-build Elizabeth P. Lord Residential Design 3. Splash your kitchen. Stainless steel backsplashes have been popular for a while now -- they're a great way to jazz up a standard backsplash without going overboard. If you have a lot of stainless steel in your kitchen, using something like the diamond pattern on this backsplash will add a softer texture and help create a focal point. Contemporary Dining Room by Other Metro Photographer Elad Gonen & Zeev Beech 4. Set your table. If you have quality tableware, use it! Even if it is an heirloom, life is too short to wait for a special occasion. The diamond pattern on this cut-glass decanter and these glasses brings a stylish and tasteful element to this serene table setting. Contemporary Bathroom by Houston Interior Designer Laura U, Inc. 5. Mirror your walls. A mirror wall can help make a bathroom look larger than it really is -- this room certainly ticks that box. The diamond pattern with an antique finish on the mirror steps it up another notch. Modern Bedroom by San Francisco Architect Mark English Architects, AIA 6. Make your bed. This plush custom-made headboard and the bed cover take the simplicity of the diamond pattern and turn it into a truly spectacular statement. Traditional Bathroom by Millbrae Interior Designer Lindy Donnelly 7. Tile your walls. Bathrooms are often the smallest room in the home, so choosing a tile that creates visual height is essential. These diamond-pattern ceramic tiles draw the eye up and add character to this bathroom. Contemporary Bedroom by Birmingham Interior Designer AMW Design Studio 8. Carpet your bedroom. A pattern in the carpeting adds texture and interest to a room, especially if you like a toned-down color palette. In this sophisticated bedroom, the diamond pattern complements, rather than overpowers, the furnishings.
