OF DESIGN
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
 SCALE

THIS MIRROR DEPICTS SCALE AS IT

INTERACTS WITH THE CHAIR. IN
ADDITION, IT ALSO ADDS LIGHT AND
SPACE TO THE ROOM BECAUSE OF THE
VAST SIZE.
PROPORTION

PROPORTION IS CREATED
IN THIS LIVING ROOM
THROUGH THE USE OF
THE 2:3 PROPORTION
RULE. ALL OF THE HEAVY
FURNITURE IS PLACED
WITHIN TWO-THIRDS OF
THE ROOM WHILE THE
MUCH LIGHTER AND
MINIMAL FURNITURE IS
WITHIN THE OTHER 1:3
OF THE SPACE.
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE

SYMMETRICAL
BALANCE IS CREATED
IN THIS LIVING ROOM
THROUGH THE USE OF
MATCHING COUCHES,
CHAIRS, CABINETS,
PLANTS, AND THEIR
DIRECT OPPOSING
SIDE PLACEMENT.
ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE

ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE IS
SEEN IN THIS LIVING ROOM
THROUGH THE SEATING AND
SHELF DECOR. EVEN THOUGH
THE DECOR VARIES WITHIN
THE SHELVES IT IS STILL
BALANCED. THE CHAIRS AND
COUCH ALSO SHOW
ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE.
RADIAL BALANCE

RADIAL BALANCE IS PERFECTLY

REPRESENTED IN THIS SPACE. THE ROUND
COFFEE TABLE AND CHANDELIER ARE THE
CENTERPOINT OF THE ROOM AND
EVERYTHING IS BUILT AROUND THEM.
RHYTHM - REPETITION

REPETITION CAN BE SEEN IN THIS

SPACE THROUGH ALMOST EVERY
ASPECT OF THE DESIGN. THE LOUNGE
CHAIRS, PLANTS, LIGHTS, AND CARPET
PATTERN ALL SHOW REPETITION AS
THEY ARE EACH USED MULTIPLE TIMES
IN A EVENLY SPACED, CONSISTENT
MATTER.
RHYTHM - PROGRESSION

PROGRESSION IS REPRESENTED IN THIS

SPACE BY THE DESIGN OF THE WALL. THE
PIXELS VARY IN COLOR, SIZE, AND
PLACEMENT, YET STILL FLOW WELL AND
COME TOGETHER AS AN ENTIRE PIECE.
RHYTHM - TRANSITION

TRANSITION IS CREATED BY THE

STAIRCASE, IT ALLOCATES FOR ONE TO GO
UP OR DOWN, MAKING A TRANSITION.
THE CURVE OF THE STAIRCASE ALSO
MESHES WELL WITH THE CURVED ARCHES
IN THE HALLWAY.
RHYTHM - OPPOSITION

OPPOSITION IS CREATED IN THIS

LIVING ROOM IN MANY WAYS.
THERE IS OPPOSITION BETWEEN
THE COLORS BLACK AND WHITE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF 90 DEGREE
ANGLES SEEN THROUGHOUT THIS
ROOM AS WELL, PERFECTLY
DEMONSTRATING OPPOSITION
ARE THE LOVE SEAT AND THE
SOFA. THE SPACE BETWEEN THEM
CREATES A 90 DEGREE ANGLE.
EMPHASIS

EMPHASIS IN THIS LIVING ROOM IS

PLACED ON THE FIREPLACE AS IT IS AN
EXTREMELY GRAND PIECE. IT IS THE ITEM
WITH THE DARKEST COLOR IN THE ROOM
AND THE TALLEST, MAKING EYES DRAW
TO IT IMMEDIATELY.
HARMONY

HARMONY IS RADIATING
THROUGHOUT THIS SUNROOM. IT
LOOKS LIKE THE PERFECT ROOM TO
RELAX AND REJUVENATE IN. THE
COLORS ARE CALM AND GO WELL
WITH THE BEAUTIFUL OCEAN THAT
SURROUNDS. ALL THE ASPECTS OF
THIS ROOM CREATE HARMONY, THIS
IS A SPACE I WOULD LOVE TO BE IN.
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
OPEN SPACE

THE OPEN SPACE IN THIS KITCHEN

IS REPRESENTED BY THE HIGH
CEILING, SPACE BETWEEN OBJECTS,
AND THE ORGANIZATION OF
OBJECTS. AN IMPRESSION OF A
CLEAN ENVIRONMENT IS CREATED
THROUGH THE PROPER
ARTICULATION OF OPEN SPACE.
CLOSED SPACE

THE COZINESS OF THIS LIVING

ROOM IS CREATED THROUGH THE
PROPER USAGE OF CLOSED SPACE.
IT DOES NOT COME OFF AS
CLUTTERED, BUT RATHER
STRATEGICALLY PLACED FOR
COMFORT AND EASY ACCESS. THE
DARK COLOR SCHEME ALSO ADDS
TO THE SPACE BY MAKING IT SEEM
SMALLER AND MORE CLOSED OFF.
INTERESTING SHAPE

THERE ARE TWO INTERESTING SHAPES

WITHIN THIS BATHING ROOM. THE USE OF
AN INTERESTING SHAPE CHANGES THE
ENTIRE LOOK OF THE SPACE WHEN
COMPARING TO THE POSSIBLE USAGE A
SOLID COLOR. BOTH THE TILE AND
BACKSPLASH OF THE ROOM ARE
INTERESTING SHAPES AND POSSESS A
LEVEL OF ABSTRACTION THAT MAKES THE
VIEWER DO A DOUBLE TAKE.
INTERESTING FORM

THE LIGHT FIXTURE AND SMALL

LIGHT BULB ARE BOTH INTERESTING
FORMS. UNCOMMON TO THE
TYPICAL FORMS OF LIGHTING, THESE
FORMS DRAW ATTENTION TO
THEMSELVES AND CREATE
CONTRAST TO OTHER
SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
LIGHT MASS

THIS ROOM REPRESENTS

LIGHT MASS IN
COMPETENCE. THE CHOICE
OF LIGHT COLORS,
SIMPLICITY OF DECOR AND
SEATING, AS WELL AS
NATURAL LIGHT POURING
IN. THESE ALL ADD TO THE
ELEMENT OF LIGHT MASS
IN THIS RELAXING AREA.
HEAVY MASS

HEAVY MASS IS SHOWN IN THIS

ROOM THROUGH THE USE OF BULKY
FURNITURE AND DECOR. THE
‘HEAVINESS’ IS WELL REPRESENTED
BY THE LIGHT FIXTURE, THE WAY IT
HANGS LOOKS HEAVY. THE ROOM IS
FILLED WITH LARGE PILLOWS AND
BULKY BLANKETS CREATING THE
ELEMENT OF HEAVY MASS.
VERTICAL LINE

THE VERTICAL LINES IN THIS SPACE ARE

REPRESENTED BY THE WOOD PANELS
ALIGNED ALONG THE WALL. THE USE OF
VERTICAL LINES ELONGATES A ROOM AND
MAKES IT SEEM MORE SPACIOUS BY
SEEMINGLY CREATING MORE HEIGHT TO
SURROUNDING AREAS.
HORIZONTAL LINE

THE USE OF THE HORIZONTAL LINE IN THIS

LIVING ROOM CREATES THE IMAGE OF A
MORE SPACIOUS AREA REGARDING THE
STRETCH OF THE WALL. THESE WOODEN
PANELS PERSUADE THE EYES TO LAY
DOWN AND RELAX IN THE SAME
DIRECTION THE LINES ARE.
CURVED LINE

THE CURVED LINES IN THIS DINING AREA

CREATE ELEGANCE AND ADD BODY TO
THE SPACE. THE SIMPLE WOOD IS
UNIQUELY SHAPED AND CREATES
REMARKABLE PILLARS AND CEILINGS. THE
CURVINESS ADDS A LEVEL OF LUXURY AND
SLEEKNESS TO THE SPACE.
SMOOTH TEXTURE

SMOOTH TEXTURE IS SEEN IN THE

GLASS-LIKE COUNTERS. AS LIGHT
HITS THE COUNTERS IT REFLECTS
AND ENHANCES THE OTHER
SURROUNDING OBJECTS. THE
FAUCET ALSO POSSESSES A
SMOOTH, SILKY LOOKING
TEXTURE. THE ENTIRE KITCHEN IS
PORTRAYED AS SMOOTH BECAUSE
OF THESE ELEMENTS.
ROUGH TEXTURE

ROUGH TEXTURE IS PRESENT

THROUGHOUT THIS SPACE. THE WALL IS
THE MOST GRANDLY REPRESENTED
ROUGH TEXTURE BUT IT CAN ALSO BE
SEEN ON THE WOODEN COFFEE TABLES,
AS WELL AS THE VERTICAL METAL BARS
ALIGNED AGAINST THE WINDOW.
OVERALL THIS ROOM HAS A DARK,
CAVE-LIKE APPEARANCE.
PATTER
N

THE PATTERN PRESENT IN THIS BATHING

AREA CAN BE FOUND IN THE SHOWER. IT
IS A IS THE MERMAID SCALE LIKE PATTERN
THAT IS EYE-CATCHING AND PORTRAYS
LIKENESS TO THE OCEAN. THE EXACT
SAME SIZE AND SHAPE IS EQUALLY
SPREAD APART FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORM MAKING IT A PATTERN.
NATURAL LIGHT

NATURAL LIGHT IS CREATED IN

THIS ROOM AS IT IS
COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY
WINDOWS. ALL OF THE LIGHT
POURING IN IS NATURAL AND
FROM THE SUN. THE NATURAL
LIGHT RADIATES POSITIVITY
AND HAPPINESS. IT CREATES A
WARM AND BRIGHT SPACE TO
SPEND TIME IN.
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT

ALL OF THE LIGHTING IN THIS

ROOM IS ARTIFICIALLY
CREATED THROUGH ELECTRIC
LIGHTS. THERE ARE NO
WINDOWS OR OTHER FORMS
OF LIGHT. IT IS ALL CREATED
THROUGH BLUE-TONED LIGHT
FIXTURES AND CEILING LIGHTS.
ARTIFICIAL LIGHT CAN ALSO BE
SEEN COMING FROM
UNDERNEATH CABINETS TO
ADD ADDITIONAL LIGHT TO
THE ROOM.
