 Color: ◦ gives great life and beauty to room ◦ expresses the personality of entire family ◦ set the mood of a room ◦ seem warmer or cooler ◦ change the apparent size and shape of a room ◦ tie other design elements together ◦ disguise architectural flaws ◦ creates a center of interest

 Line--provides a sense of direction because they cause your eye to move side to side or up and down. ◦ Vertical lines--point to the sky ◦ Horizontal lines--relaxation, informality ◦ Diagonal lines--activity, movement ◦ Curved lines--activity or relaxation, depending on the degree to which they are curved.

 Form or Shape--make up the object’s shape, the shape becomes three-dimensional, it gains depth and is known as form ◦ Form is best determined by how it will be used, otherwise known as its “function”

 Texture--refers to the way a surface feels when you touch it and to the way you expect a surfaceto feel when you see it. ◦ Shiny  brighter and lighter ◦ Smooth ◦ Dull ◦ Rough  uneven surfaces absorb light and make a room seem smaller

 Space--refers to the three-dimensional area to be designed such as the room itself ◦ Space can make a room seem quite different depending on how it’s used  cozy verses crowded

 When used together in design, the elements of color, line, form, and texture make sense only when certain principles of design are applied to them. They are: ◦ Proportion ◦ Balance ◦ Emphasis ◦ Rhythm ◦ Harmony

 Proportion--the way one part of a design relates in size or shape to another or to the whole. ◦ Based on form and size ◦ unequal proportion is more pleasing  Furniture and accessories that are too large will crowd a small room and make the room seem even smaller.

 Balance--gives a feeling of equal weight among parts of a design. ◦ Formal--objects on each side of an imaginary centerline are the same ◦ Informal--the objects on each side of the center are different in size, form, texture, or color

 Emphasis--the point of greatest interest ◦ examples--fireplace, flower arrangement, artwork

 Rhythm--feeling of movement, leading the eye from one point to another ◦ Repetition--repeating color, line, form, texture ◦ Opposition--rhythm formed by lines meeting at right angles ◦ Gradation--created by a change in color value from dark to light ◦ Radiation--lines extend outward from a central point, such as a bouquet of flowers ◦ Transition--rhythm found in curved lines

 Harmony--the feeling that all parts of a design belong together. ◦ Variety is interesting if objects grouped together have something in common such as color

 The ultimate goals of design are beauty, appropriateness and unity with variation. ◦ Beauty--whatever you consider beautiful enough to go into your home, will make your home a unique place. ◦ Appropriateness--colors appropriate for the mood, forms appropriate for their function, and designs appropriate for you personality. ◦ Unity with variation--design works best when one item dominates and other items provide variety and contrast. Rooms are pleasing if they have one dominate color, one dominate line, one point of emphasis, one dominate type of balance.
