When used together in design, the elements of color, line, form, and texture make sense only when certain principles of design are applied to them. They are:◦ Proportion◦ Balance◦ Emphasis◦ Rhythm◦ Harmony
Proportion--the way one part of a design relates in size or shape to another or to the whole.◦ Based on form and size◦ unequal proportion is more pleasing
Furniture and accessories that are too large will crowd a small room and make the room seem even smaller.
Balance--gives a feeling of equal weight among parts of a design.◦ Formal--objects on each side of an imaginary
centerline are the same◦ Informal--the objects on each side of the center
are different in size, form, texture, or color
Rhythm--feeling of movement, leading the eye from one point to another◦ Repetition--repeating color, line, form, texture◦ Opposition--rhythm formed by lines meeting at
right angles◦ Gradation--created by a change in color value
from dark to light◦ Radiation--lines extend outward from a central
point, such as a bouquet of flowers◦ Transition--rhythm found in curved lines
Harmony--the feeling that all parts of a design belong together.◦ Variety is interesting if objects grouped together
have something in common such as color
The ultimate goals of design are beauty, appropriateness and unity with variation.◦ Beauty--whatever you consider beautiful enough to go
into your home, will make your home a unique place.◦ Appropriateness--colors appropriate for the mood,
forms appropriate for their function, and designs appropriate for you personality.
◦ Unity with variation--design works best when one item dominates and other items provide variety and contrast. Rooms are pleasing if they have one dominate color, one dominate line, one point of emphasis, one dominate type of balance.
