Principles and Elements Design
The Principles and Elements of design should always be considered while creating a space. These elements give the room balance and control while adding interest, if used correctly.
The space pictured above uses the elements and principles to create a harmonious space. Very straight lines are used in the space to give it a clean and finished look. The form of the furniture and fireplace are very square which ties in nicely with the shapes of some of the rounder accents, including lighting, throughout the space.
Smooth surfaces are used throughout the space with added textures in the rug and with some accessories. Neutral colors establish an aesthetically pleasing color scheme with bright red as a color of emphasis.
Emphasis is clearly created with the use of color in this space. The eye is drawn to the bright red color on both the wall and the accent pillows. Having the same neutral tones throughout the space helps to unify the space, while the red accents give the room variety.
Rhythm is created in this space with the repetition of certain features. The repetition of things like the three lighting fixtures along with the three square cut outs on the emphasis wall provide a good rhythm for the space.
There is very minimal pattern in the photo which provides balance. If everything was patterned it would be too busy and would distract from the design. Instead, the designer has used very simple and solid colors and patterns and the added a piece of artwork that has pattern on it. The eye also could be drifted to this piece as emphasis, but it implies variety into the room.
Everything in this space is proportionate to all other items in the room. No item is scaled way too big or way to small to flow with the rest of the space. Scale and proportion are big considerations when designing. Keeping the elements and principles of design in essential when creating or designing a space. If you consider all of these principles and elements you can design a space with enough of each element to generate one harmonious and beautiful space.
MEGAN, I like the cleanness of this space. Usually the fireplace is the focal point but instead many other elements of the room have emphasis. Is this where you got your idea for your lighting on the last Collier project?! =] Just keeeding, I dont understand what is on top of the coffee table BUT I like this room and the emphasis the red has through out it.
ReplyDeleteI love this room! The space looks balanced with the fireplace being between both the living and dining area and the colors are totally you! A white room with just the right touch of black and red accents for the room.
ReplyDeleteI love the clean lines and chicness of this interior. The repetition of the rectangular shape and form creates hard clean horizontal lines. I love the red accent wall and pillows. It really adds alot to this modern room. The modern furniture also portrays a very clean, smooth feel. The accent rug adds just enough texture to keep it interesting!
ReplyDeleteI like the balance of this space. I am usually not into interior spaces with a lot of clean lines but I am loving this space. The living room to the dining room flows well and the accents of red is hot and very appealing!!!
