Principles of Design


Harmony: Combination of variety and unity to create a room.



Unity- The room tied together with a common Denominator or theme.



Variety- The different shapes, colors, and objects in a room.



 













Proportion: The way that one part of an object relates to the whole object.















Scale: The way on abject relates to another object.















Balance: Visual Balance in a room, equal weight on all parts
of the room.















Formal-  Both sides are the same, or mirror images of each other.











Informal-  Asymmetrical side are different but visual weight is still equal.

















Rhythm: The felling of movement in a room from one point to another. ( Repetition, Gradation, Opposition, Transition, and Radiation.)















Repetition - A design tool that is repeated. Usually one of the elements of design. (Space, Shape, Lines, Texture, Patters, and Color)
















Gradation- Moves the eyes form one lights to darks of from small to large with one move of the elements.






Opposition- An abrupt change in color or line that keeps moving eyes.








Transition - How one part of design changes to another part.



















Radiation - moves your eyes out from a center point.
















Emphasis: the focal point of the room. There should only be one focal point. (Architectural emphasis like windows, staircases, fireplaces, ect....) is a great way to create a focal point.
