5. Jeffrey Billhuber's living room seating area is a lesson in mixing many geometric patterns in fabrics, wall covering and decorator rugs. Note how Billhuber mixes large scale, medium scale and small scale geometric patterns. The decorator rug's scale is in the middle. The wall and the upholstered chair near the window are covered in the same fabric and this allows Jeffrey Billhuber to masterfully knit the many geometric patterns into a pleasing harmony.
