Here’s a New Angle on Designing a Room

Polygonal pieces help break up the typical rectangles and squares found in most rooms, says interior designer Kelley Lentini of House of Nomad, a Charlotte, N.C.-based firm. Lentini says they're seeing more coffee tables, side tables and even lighting with edgy polygonal shapes. In this living room, a geometric brass and glass coffee table from Four Hands creates multidimensional interest.

A trio of hexagon-shaped coffee tables creates even more space for games when combined in a rustic modern media room. The tables can then be pulled apart for individual needs.

All done in modern white, this mix of shapes — polygon, starburst and straight-line bookshelves — creates a sophisticated, yet fun space. Design by Julie Holloway Studio in Atlanta.
