Interior Design Final

This document discusses the main principles of interior design, which are unity, balance, rhythm, emphasis, contrast, scale and proportion, and details. It provides examples and explanations of each principle. Unity stresses uniformity and harmony among all design elements. Balance refers to even visual weight distribution. Rhythm introduces order and flow through repetition, alteration, or progression. Emphasis draws attention to a focal point. Contrast differentiates elements through color, form, or space. Details beautify a space with small touches. Together, these principles guide effective composition and arrangement of interior design elements.

WHAT IS MEANT BY “PRINCIPLES OF
INTERIOR DESIGN”?
 The Principles of interior Design are the
ways that designers use the Elements of
interior design to create good
Compositions (decoration/arragements).
 Design principles are ways of arranging
or organising design elements.
 These principles evaluate each element
in a design (magnificent vs. mediocre
right vs. wrong).
 The way the elements are arranged to
create a feeling of stability in a work.
UNITY
The principle of Unity, as the name implies stresses on
the fact that there should be a sense of uniformity
or harmony among all the 7 elements used.

Interior design should serve as a visual guide for a


person to understand a living space, and without
unity, the visual guide will only end up confusing the
person.

All the elements used should complement one


another and a smooth transition should exist from
one to another.
BALANCE
• The principle of balance refers to the ordered
distribution of elements of equal visual weight to
achieve a visual equilibrium.
• Balance is only achieved when the visual weight of
the elements are evenly distributed along a central
axis or point that can be both real and imaginary.
• Balance can be achieved by three popular ways
namely Symmetrical, Asymmetrical and Radial.
• Radial balance involves a central piece (like a
chandelier or a round dining table) from which all
other elements seem to radiate to arrange
themselves in circular symmetry.
RHYTHM
• Rhythm can be thought of as a
pattern in movement.
• rhythm can be applied to
interior spaces as a way to
introduce order, interest and
focus, also to help lead your
eye through a room.
• There are three types of
methods to achieve rhythm:
 Repetition
 Alteration
 Progression
RHYTHM
• rhythm and can be achieved by
repeating any of the elements of
design.
• Rhythm can also be achieved
through progression.
• Examples are a gradation of
colour or a series of objects that
start small and become large in
a very regular manner.
EMPHASIS
• Emphasis is something we all know about.
It simply means that every room or space
has a focal point, whether it is architectural
or an object.
• Oversized artwork or a large piece of
furniture can also be a focal point in a
room.
• Interior design elements like color, texture
and form are used to add emphasis to a
focal point.
• tiles, you have used color and texture to
create emphasis.
CONTRAST

• Contrast refers to the difference in the


luminance or color of objects that
differentiates them from one another.
• In interior design, contrast can be
achieved by three elements namely
color, form and space.
• One can use pillows or prints of two
opposite colors like black and white to
achieve contrast and make an object
distinguishable.
CONTRAST
• Contrast can also be achieved by
combining two or more forms; for
example one can combine a
circular mirror and a rectangular
sofa to balance and distribute the
attention between both the items.
• One can also achieve contrast in a
living space by dividing the
available space efficiently into
usable positive and negative
spaces.
DETAILS
• Once you are sure that you have achieved all of the above mentioned principles,
it’s time for details to take over and beautify the place further.

• Details in interior design go far beyond the


accessories in a room
• They are the small, subtle touches that can
make a huge impact in a room.
• Things like trim on a pillow, a crystal lamp ,
decorative switch plate and outlet covers
