The New Geo Trends

Chevrons are moving back from a trend to a staple print, while updated Scandi and world prints are moving the geometric trend in a new direction. And they’re bringing chunkier weaves and little extras along for the ride.

But Neo Deco continues to lead us the other way with metallics and sleek fabrics. Expect fine lines and everything from classic Deco repeats to asymmetric prints.

We navigate zigzag cushions, metallic geometric cushion inspiration, ikat designs, texture trends and more on our geo trend tour. And since most of these prints look just a good in an outdoor living area, look out for bright and beautiful summer colours in the line-up.

Bold Chevron Cushion Covers

Chevrons started out as a 2010s trend. After bouncing back time and again, they’ve become a classic print like their close relations, stripes. If you’re looking for a bold and welcoming look to brighten your room, zigzag cushions are the perfect solution.  

Look to 2020s colourways and mixed patterns to update this trusted design.

Tidwiace’s cushions come in royal blue, tapping into the Pantone Colour of the Year 2020, Classic Blue. This shade’s a hint darker, but it looks promising.

A combination of trail arrow prints, tile prints and narrow zigzag geometric cushion cover designs gives you an instant mix of designs to layer up.

Chunky Zigzags

Alternatively, seek out chunkier chevron cushion covers for impact. Use the same strategy and pick designs in fresh colourways.

The 100% cotton Fusion Chevron cushion in tan, black and white would look great against so many indoor looks. Or take them outside for an Instagram-ready upgrade to your patio furniture.

Other colour combinations are available, but the tan and black chevrons stand out. They make a nod to an emerging trend that’s going forward into the new decade.

Deco inspiration is stepping forward (as are layered-up neutrals), making this a print that should be easy to work into your room and the trend evolves.

Neo Deco Metallic Cushions for a Glossy Finish

Go for vintage inspired prints or an update on the glossy style. Look out for plush and velvet textures with metallic details, as Neo Deco variants bring luxurious home inspiration to your room.

Silver triangles cut across these grey CaliTime Triangles Abstract Geometric cushion covers, putting an asymmetric spin on Neo Deco.

Use them alongside pastel pink, neutrals and neo mint to enhance the Neo Deco mood. Or combine with a constellation print to play up the future-ready side of the look that comes courtesy of those angles.

Neo Mint Cushion Covers

Play around with neo mint and teal tones. Blue-heavy teal was a big influence in 2019, with the clear minty shade stepping forward as a major look for 2020.

Individually they’re a natural fit with contemporary geometric lines and make an easy match with white, black and grey decor. Combine them to walk the line between crisp and cosy.

Hangood’s teal, grey and neo mint cushion covers layer up geometric mountain prints, abstract triangles and diamonds. It’s a mixed set of 4 cushion covers in soft velvet plush, for an instant dash of variety.

The mountain scene takes it in a totally different direction, opening up so many possibilities for a twist on a nature connection in your home décor ideas.

Glow with Bright Summer Colours

Glowing brights and geometric prints put an early 90s spin on the trend, throwing Deco inspiration and poolside fun together. If you’re looking for easy summer home ideas, hot colours and bold geometric prints will tick the box.

Phantoscope’s pink and gold set of 4 geometric cushions makes a great place to start. The value set will bring colour to your sofa in seconds.

Sunshine and Sharp Angles

How about a sunshine yellow geometric print cushion cover? It’s a joyful colour that works so well with those crisp lines against a white background.

The yellow version of Penguin Home’s 100% cotton linen cushion cover set is light and bright. White and yellow soft furnishing accents like these can brighten your living room but they would also look at home in a glass-walled extension or on patio furniture.

Pick up boho geometric cushion covers for relaxed, low-key style. Where we’re used to chevron prints emerging on smooth cotton and Neo Deco in plush and metallics, Scandi geo and global trends seek out other textures.

Ochre tassels and a chunkier, rustic-inspired fabric make this Sass and Belle Scandi Boho Geo cushion really look the part. And it’s all in those textured details.

This cushion cover is part of the Sass and Belle Scandi Boho Geo range, if you want to add a Scandi Boho Geo picture frame or rug to carry the print around the room.

A Softer Take on Geometric Prints

Look for contemporary versions of traditional fabrics for a softer take on the geometric trend. Repeating patterns are a staple of wove and wax resist patterns around the world, giving textile designers a wealth of inspiration to draw on.

TreeWool’s Ogee Ikat Diamond Accent cushion covers are made with cotton and finished by hand. Drawing inspiration from curving ogee lines and the look of traditional Indonesian and Indian ikat fabric design, these cushion covers are a fresh choice with a nod to textile heritage.
