        • 7 Most Important Interior Design Principles

          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.

          When doing interior design it is necessary to think of the house as a totality; a series of spaces linked together by halls and stairways. It is therefore appropriate that a common style and theme runs throughout. This is not to say that all interior design elements should be the same but they should work together and complement each other to strengthen the whole composition. A way to create this theme or storyline is with the well considered use of color. Color schemes in general are a great way to unify a collection of spaces. For example, you might pick three or four colors and use them in varying shades thoughout the house.

          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.

          Interior design’s biggest enemy is boredom. A well-designed room always has, depending on the size of it, one or more focal points. A focal point must be dominant to draw attention and interesting enough to encourage the viewer to look further. A focal point thus must have a lasting impression but must also be an integral part of the decoration linked through scale, style, color or theme. A fireplace or a flat tv is the first example that most people think of when we talk about a room focal point.

           Focal point If you don’t have a natural focal point in your space, such as a fireplace for example, you can create one by highlighting a particular piece of furniture, artwork, or by simply painting a contrasting color in one area. Try to maintain balance, though, so that the focal point doesn’t hog all of the attention.

          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.

          Finally, contrast is fairly straightforward. Putting two elements in opposition to one another, such as black and white pillows on a sofa, is the hallmark of this design principle. Opposition can also be implied by contrasts in form, such as circles and squares used together.

          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.

          Colour – Colors have a definite impact on the atmosphere that you want to create when doing interior design.

           

           

          Writing an assay describing an art piece.

           

          You need to divide the assay  into  paragraphs stating  clearly the main features in each of them.

          First paragraph

          / basic information about the art piece: The author, the title, year of creation, technique, size ./

                   

          The art piece I am going to study is from author  named.................

          The title is .................................

          It was painted in ...........................

          It is an oil painting with the size ........times .........centimetres.

           

          Second paragraph

          / the background information about the author, his life , style of painting or technique he or she usually uses, historical connections etc/.

          This painting is one of the typical examples of his .......................art. /landscape, portrait, still life etc./

          It was inspired by the style of  ........................as a reflection on the movement formed at the time.

          This picture is from his hometown one of the favourite author’s motive which is reflected in a positive mood coming out of the painting.

          The technique o fan  oil painting is also typical for him. He was one of the most interesting artists of ........................................../ realism, surrealism, impressionism etc./

           

          Third paragraph

          / contend – description of the painting, formal elements – visual tools used in order to achieve certain visual effect./

          Short  narrative description of the art piece.

           The painting is very peaceful reminding of a summer afternoon.

          Formal visual elements of this painting are Colour, perspective, composition, etc .

          There are some threes, a lake some small cottages, nice and wide sky with soft white clouds.

          The atmosphere together with the work of brushstrokes evokes a hot summer afternoon.

          Colour scheme is very harmonised. Use of cold and warm colours helps this painting looking peaceful.

          The composition is central. The perspective is very authentic.

           

          Fourth paragraph

           conclusion and judgement.

          /Concluds everyrhing that was mentioned before/.

           

          Most formal elements in this work were used accurately and in cooperation with the theme.

          The colour scheme chosen by the artist .................was relevant all colours worked well together.

           Excellent perspective and composition used. Use of brushstrokes were ...........................................
