Emphasis
Emphasis is a design principle that creates a focal point in a space, drawing attention and adding interest. It can be achieved through contrast, placement, isolation, or use of a feature element.
Unity
Unity in interior design ensures all components of a design are related by one idea or theme, achieving a sense of completeness and consistency throughout the space.
Repetition
Repetition involves using the same or similar elements throughout the design to create a sense of cohesiveness and rhythm. It's used to unify the space and reinforce the design concept.
Balance
Balance in interior design refers to the equal distribution of visual weight in a room. It can be symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial, ensuring stability and structure in the spatial arrangement.
Harmony
Harmony in interior design is achieved when all the elements of a room work together in unity, supported by color, style, texture, and theme. It creates a coherent and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Alignment
Alignment creates a straight line or a true association between elements in a composition, which organizes the space, reduces chaos, and creates a visual connection between items.
Scale and Proportion
Scale refers to the size of objects in relation to the space they occupy, while proportion relates to the size relationship between different elements within the space. Both need to be considered for a harmonious interior.
Variety
Variety adds interest to a space by incorporating different materials, textures, shapes, and colors while maintaining a cohesive overall design.
Contrast
Contrast in interior design uses opposing elements like color, form, space, and texture to create visual interest and highlight key parts of the room.
Rhythm
Rhythm in interior design creates a visual tempo through repetition, progression, transition, and contrast. It guides the eye smoothly around a room and provides a path for visual movement.
