“Interior design is the process of shaping
the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as
well as surface treatment. Not to be confused with interior decoration,
interior design draws on aspects of environmental psychology, architecture, and
product design in addition to traditional decoration.
An interior designer is a person who is
considered a professional in the field of interior design or one who designs
interiors as part of their job. Interior design is a creative practice that
analyzes programmatic information, establishes a conceptual direction, refines
the design direction, and produces graphic communication and construction
documents. In some jurisdictions, interior designers must be licensed to
practice.”
In a short sentence for those who just scan
this article balance can be described as the equal distribution of visual
weight in a room. There are three styles of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical,
and radial.
Symmetrical balance is usually found in
traditional interiors. Symmetrical balance is characterized by the same objects
repeated in the same positions on either side of a vertical axis, for example
you might remember old rooms where on each side of a room is an exact mirror of
the other. This symmetry also reflects the human form, so we are inately
comfortable in a balanced setting.
Asymmetrical balance is more appropriate in
design in these days. Balance is achieved with some dissimilar objects that
have equal visual weight or eye attraction. Assymetrical balance is more casual
and less contrived in feeling, but more difficult to achieve. Asymmetry
suggests movement, and leads to more lively interiors.
Radial symmetry is when all the elements of
a design are arrayed around a center point. A spiral staircase is also an
excellent example of radial balance. Though not often employed in interiors, it
can provide an interesting counterpoint if used appropriately.
Repetition is the use of the same element
more than once throughout a space. You can repeat a pattern, color, texture,
line, or any other element, or even more than one element.
Progression is taking an element and
increasing or decreasing one or more of its qualities. The most obvious
implementation of this would be a gradation by size. A cluster of candles of
varying sizes on a simple tray creates interest because of the natural
progression shown. You can also achieve progression via color, such as in a
monochromatic color scheme where each element is a slightly different shade of
the same hue.
Transition is a little harder to define.
Unlike repetition or progression, transition tends to be a smoother flow, where
the eye naturally glides from one area to another. The most common transition
is the use of a curved line to gently lead the eye, such as an arched doorway
or winding path.
Scale and Proportion – These two design
principles go hand in hand, since both relate to size and shape. Proportion has
to do with the ratio of one design element to another, or one element to the
whole. Scale concerns itself with the size of one object compared to another.
Color – Colors have a definite impact on
the atmosphere that you want to create when doing interior design.
Room Color and How it Affects Your Mood
The colors of the rooms within your home
need to bring out your personality. While most of us may not spend a lot of
time thinking about room color, it affects every day of our lives. Room color
can influence our mood and our thoughts. Colors affects people in many ways,
depending upon one’s age, gender, ethnic background or local climate. Certain
colors or groups of colors tend to get a similar reaction from most people –
the overall difference being in the shade or tones used. So when it comes to
decorating, it is important to choose wisely.
In order to have a beautiful home, you do
not have to worry about trends. Color trends will come and go. The people who
live in a home make it beautiful by choosing colors that reflect their likes
and their personalities. The trick is to blend those colors you like into a
pleasing combination. Choosing color combinations is one of the most
intimidating steps for beginners. Color has the power to change the shape and
size of furnishings as well as the shape and size of the room itself. Selecting
colors is not difficult if you equip yourself with some basic information about
color and its effects.
