This paper focuses on the use of floral and geometrical designs prevalent in modern art and architecture, together with the derivative analysis of usages in modern and ancient structures. Articles with floral designs are associated with characteristics derived from nature, for instance, growth, renewal, and beauty On the other hand, geometrical designs are associated with properties that are in harmony with mathematical and symmetrical principles such as order and precision. The paper looks into the development process of these two distinct patterns and how they have been incorporated into modern design through different products, including textiles, wallpapers, ceramics, and buildings and architectural facades. Main trends in relation to such styles are discussed with special reference to the focus on creating attractive and practical interior and exterior designs. The study also looks into the prospects of combining these patterns, as well as the challenges involved in integrating organic and geometrical results for design projects. Also under consideration is the role of digital technology in the development of floral and geometric motifs most especially in graphic and aesthetical design. This paper provides a review of modern design case studies to consider how designers are reinventing motifs and creating new formats when turning to the digital sphere. Based on the findings, limb combining floral/diamond designs not only results in a unique visual appearance but also aligns with a range of thematic and technological advancements in design strategies.
