Emphasis

Focal  Point-­‐Visual  is  the  loca1on  where  your  eye  is  drawn  to  visually.  In  homes  the  visual  point  could  be  a  chandelier  or  a  pain1ng.  In  formal  rooms,  or  more  specifically  the  dinning  room  the  main  focal  point  could  be  a  chandelier  or  china  cabinet.    

The  focal  point  would  be  the  mirror  above  the  dinning  room  table

When  considering  building  a  new  southern  home    keep  in  mind  adding  lots  of  windows  to  the  living  room  area.  Lots  of  windows  in  a  living  room  or  dining  room  can  really  open  a  room  up,  can  be  nice  scenery,  and  

adds  a  beau1ful  vocal  points.

Massing

42  

When  choosing  objects  with  actual  density  consider  objects  that  are  filled  in,  things  that  are  very  solid.    

Tables  such  as  this  one,  look  very  nice  in  the  entryway  of  a  southern  home.  Consider  adding  a  floral  arrangement  for  a  more  elegant  look.

Op1mal  density  is  like  an  allusion.  It  gives  objects  a  weighted,  more  solid  appearance.  The  massing  of  the  picture  frames  and  the  boxes  along  with  the  large  vase  create  great  balance.  The  vase  gives  the  allusion  of  op1cal  density  un1l  you  actually  pick  up  the  vase.    

EDITORS  NOTE:  Adding  a  large  vase  to  create  op1cal  density  would  look  nice  in  an  entry  way  to  a  southern  home.

Rhythm    

Repe11ve  rhythm  establishes  a  con1nuous  

flow  of  rhythm  and  provides  unity  or  

sameness.  Repe11ve  color  in  a  southern  home  can  establish  rhythm  if  smoothly  connected  

rather  than  jumping  from  one  colored  object  to  

another.  

44  

However,  even  though  the  colors  in  the  above  picture  do  jump  from  one  color  to  the  next,  the  pillows  in  living  room  in  the  above  picture  are  repe11ve  since  they  repeat  between  the  black,  white  and  grey  colors.  The  table  and  table  decora1ons  also  help  1e  the  room  together.

Clima1c  rhythm  can  been  seen  in  the  value  of  color.  Have  very  light  color  on  the  ceiling,  then  medium  to  on  the  was,  to  dark  on  the  floor  or  furniture.  

45  

Clima1c  shapes  progress  from  Large  to  small,  or  small  to  large,  such  as  different  size  candles  arranged  on  a  table.  

As  seen  in  the  above  picture,  the  carpet  is  a  light  cream  color,  the  walls  then  get  darker  with  the  shade  of  purple,  to  finally  the  dark  black  of  the  

comforter.  Clima1c  rhythm  can  be  very  aesthe1cally  pleasing  if  done  correctly.
