It is just a matter of using them in fresh ways,\u201d says Thornton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Greek key motif can add depth to a small space and strength to a simple room. It can also provide a masculine or feminine inflection, depending on its color.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf a room does not have architectural interest, a Greek key border on a rug brings strength,\u201d says Izsak. \u201cAdding this piece to a room with no moldings provides architectural interest, anchors the room and makes it appear larger. Or take a simple bathroom and incorporate Greek key \u2014 it automatically gives the room strength and a strong graphic punch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Greek key adds refinement as a design element with its balanced, crisp geometry,\u201d says Perino.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3932963_l.jpg\" alt=\"greek key table\" class=\"wp-image-330626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3932963_l.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3932963_l-565x350.jpg 565w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/3932963_l-120x74.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/tables\/center-tables\/carved-gilded-florentine-table-marble-top-dated-1886\/id-f_3932963\/\">Pietro Bazzanti carved and gilded Florentine table<\/a>, 1886<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While impactful on its own, Greek key really shines when paired with other motifs. \u201cI believe our world is full of gorgeous patterns and the more you mix them, the better they all go together,\u201d says Thornton. \u201cI like to see a pattern as one of many interesting elements, so the eye isn&#8217;t drawn to only one but instead dances around the room catching glimpses of different things.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What style does the design not suit? Minimalism. \u201cThe Greek key goes with everything and adds character. As long as you aren&#8217;t going for a minimalist look, it is a beautiful element to weave in,\u201d Thornton says. \u201cThe Greek key is a symbol of classicism, tradition and adornment. That intricate little pattern adds depth and complexity and pushes the vibe towards maximalism.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/ORG_3016402-768x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"greek key chairs\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/collections\/greek-key\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop Greek Key on 1stdibs\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/collections\/greek-key\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What with the coverage given it in shelter magazines, Instagram feeds and design blogs in recent years, the Greek key could be mistaken for a trend.
