Interior decoration is not only an art, but a hobby also. There is nothing more rewarding or satisfying than the construction of an elegant interior for your House.
If you are working with furniture and existing tissues or "start from scratch" with an empty room, you must always use the elements and principles of design as a guide in the choice of everything. The elements are their tools or raw materials, like the paintings are the fundamentals to a painter. Design elements include space, line, shape, color and texture. Design principles refer to how to use these elements and are balance, emphasis, rhythm, proportion and scale, and harmony and the unit.
♦ Space
Space defines the limits and establishes the limits of functional and decorative things that can be done. Generally speaking, it will not determine the space, but it is faced with the challenge of using existing space effectively.
♦ Line
Lines in a room are only surpassed by the color in importance when it comes to set the general mood or feeling of a fourth State. The lines of fashion Windows should support the dominant line of the room. In the majority of situations, the dominant line is (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) straight instead of curved. Your choice of emphasis in the direction of the lines determined mood that you want to create.
• Vertical lines add height and dignity, creating a more formal atmosphere. Vertical lines also balance the horizontal lines that are in most of the furniture.
• Horizontal lines tend to create a relaxing, informal feeling. They work well in casual rooms or as relief for the vertical forts of the formal rooms.
• Diagonal lines attract the attention and direct view. They may bother unless you support the vertical or diagonal opposite.
• Curved lines add a smoothing effect and keep the room to be too rigid. Use curved lines with some restraint to keep the room to be too soft and too feminine.
♦ Form
Lines that together produce the form or shape of an object, which in turn affects the overall feel of a room. Straight lines create rectangles, squares, and triangles. The curved lines forming circles and ovals. The rectangle is the most popular shape and is often the dominant form in a room. Triangles provide stability and forms curves smoothed the contours of objects.
♦ Color
More than anything else, the color can make a beautiful room. Color can set the mood. A hot room can be or more cold, bigger or smaller. You can hide unpleasant characteristics or draw attention to the center of interest. Even with simple furniture, the proper use of color can transform a room.
♦ Texture
Texture is playing an increasingly important role in the decoration of the home. Visual texture is apparent softness of a material or surface roughness. To maintain and improve the casual feel, use fabrics that are more heavily textured, nubby or rough visual texture. The surfaces smooth and shiny like silk, moir ้, chintz and silk - as it appears to support a more formal feeling in a room. With various levels of complementary textures add variety and maintains interest. However, it is a good idea to avoid dramatic contrasts in texture.
