The Greek key is probably my favorite motif used in decorating. Dictionary.com defines the greek key as “an ornamental pattern consisting of repeated vertical and horizontal lines (often in relief)”. I would define it as one of the most popular ornaments used in interior design in ANY form your heart desires. Here are some pictures that show all the different ways to incorporate the greek key into decorating a home…
