Elements of Interior Design
- Interior design objective 2.02 covers the elements of design
- Elements include: line, form/shape, space, texture, pattern, and color
Line
- Lines are the most basic design element
- Different types of lines can evoke different feelings.
- Horizontal lines: evoke relaxation, calmness, and restfulness (associated with sunsets, ocean waves)
- Vertical lines: convey height, strength, dignity, and stability
- Diagonal lines: suggest different levels of energy, the degree of the angle and total number of angles (like a lightning bolt)
- Curved lines: feel softer and associated with feelings of organization, eternity, uniformity, natural communication of freedom and openness
Shape and Form
- Shape: the outline of something
- Form: the physical shape of a three-dimensional object
- Form characteristics:
- contains volume and mass
- has height, width, and depth
- Types of form:
- Realistic: lifelike, traditional, familiar
- Abstract: rearranges or stylizes recognizable objects, altered traits, contemporary, creative, and artistic
- Geometric: uses squares, rectangles, circles; communicates organization, order, planning, and tailored feeling
- Free form: random flowing; found in nature (plants, stones, wood); communicates freedom, untraditional, unfamiliar, and different from realistic forms
Space
- Space is the area around the form
- Given boundaries by the walls
- Large and small spaces have different appeals and dislikes
- Ways to give the illusion of more space include:
- Enhancing the space
- Defining areas within the space
- High mass visuals appear crowded and low mass visuals appear sparse and minimalist
Texture
