Interior Design Terminology
- Formality in interior design emphasizes dignity, reserve, strength, and impressiveness through elements like unbroken lines, large spaces, and symmetrical shapes and forms arranged at equal distances from the center.
- Informality in interior design is expressed through modest size, asymmetrical balance, and broken lines.
Elements of Design
- Lines have positive emotional significance and can evoke feelings based on their direction, such as horizontal lines suggesting rest and stability.
- Form is the most important element in home planning, and it should suit its function and be influenced by the material from which it is made.
- Texture refers to the qualities that are perceptible through the sense of touch and gives character and beauty to objects and interiors.
- Pattern refers to surface enrichment and should cover at least 1/4th of the total surface area.
Light and Space
- Light is both an art element and a utilitarian element that evokes emotional effects.
- A sense of beauty and space leads people to desire large undecorated walls and floors, which is why furniture is often minimal and grouped together.
Color
- Color creates depth and is the most powerful tool of a designer, bringing life, beauty, and appeal to a room regardless of cost.
- Color can be seen through reflection off a surface or in colored light sources, and contrasting colors can draw attention to specific parts of an image.
Dimensions of Color
- Hue is the synonym of color.
- Chroma or intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of a color.
- Value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color, ranging from white (lightest) to black (darkest).
Types of Colors
- Primary colors are basic colors obtained directly from nature, including red, blue, and yellow.
- Secondary colors are produced by mixing two primary colors in equal proportion, resulting in orange, green, and violet.
- Tertiary colors are produced by mixing a primary color with a secondary color in equal proportion, resulting in six distinct colors.
