4. Be aware of the principles of design
The principles of design are great guidelines for you to create your own stylish setting. Each principle is very important on its own, but if you’re looking for a successfully complete design, then you should have all the principles working together.
Balance
Balance is a key element to any interior design setting, since it’s determinant on how you interior looks. This principle requires an equal distribution of how heavy or substantial an object appears to the human eye.
Emphasis
This principle refers to a central piece that will be the focal point of your room. Usually in a dining room is a table, in a living room a center table and in a bedroom a bed. The focal point should be the first thing you notice when you enter the room.
Contrast and variety
Preventing interiors to feel boring, contrast and variety is the best way to step up any setting. You can create contrast by putting very different elements next to each other. You can also use different colors in order to create great contrast in your interior.
Rhythm
Helping create a cohesive space, rhythm is very important in any interior design project. Just like in a song, this principle is the repetion of elements that create a pattern.
Unity and harmony
The main purpose of unity and harmony is to take separate elements and make them look like a whole. To create a harmonious room, you can choose items that have common patterns, colours, style, or shape.
Scale and proportion
Ensuring that objects in a room look like they belong there, scale and proportion is a major aspect to have in mind while decorating a home. It’s important not to use oversize elements with tiny designs. Coherence in this matter is extremely important.
Details
Some people say that the greatest strength is in details. And we do agree that nice details are very important. As a result, choosing decorative items is a big and serious task. When you put together the 6 principles above, you get a coherent interior, but details is what brings life to it.
