Influenced by Art & Design

In theory, there are foundational components that artists use to create visual works, from elements such as shape, colour, texture, and form, to principles such as balance, contrast, pattern, and movement, among others. They serve as the building blocks of artistic expression, interacting with one another to convey meaning, evoke emotion, and communicate ideas.

These foundational components are also integral to interior design, as an empty room begins as a blank canvas. These principles will be explored as a common understanding to create the most beautiful interior space for you.

  1. Balance: Achieving visual equilibrium by distributing visual weight evenly throughout the space.

  2. Proportion and Scale: Ensuring that elements within the space are appropriately sized relative to each other and the room as a whole.

  3. Rhythm and Repetition: Establishing a sense of flow within the space through the repetition of elements or patterns.

  4. Emphasis: Highlighting focal points within the room to draw attention and create visual hierarchy.

  5. Unity and Harmony: Creating a unified and harmonious environment by ensuring that all elements within the space work together cohesively.

  6. Contrast: Creating visual interest and drama by introducing differences in elements such as colour, texture, or shape within the space.

  7. Functionality: Designing spaces that not only look good but also serve their intended purposes effectively and efficiently.

These principles, along with creativity and practical considerations, serve as guidelines for interior designers to create aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces tailored to specific needs and preferences.
