Harmony

Refers to the use of lines, shapes, colors, textures and patterns with enough variety to avoid boredom, but not so much variety as to create conflict. VARIETY (Things that are different) – when the design has differences to create interest UNITY (Things that are alike)– a sense of completeness, when nothing is missing, left out or undone Both can be overdone, the key is to balance both to achieve harmony
