English For Art Purposes. Dr. Eman AbdAllah. Dr. Nahla Aly. Introduction to Interior Design (part 2) Prepared by Ass. lec.: Neveen eid  BALANCE Symmetrical or formal Buckingham Palace, London, United Kingdom. Prince Muhammad Ali Palace (Manial Palace) ASYMMETRICAL OR INFORMAL The visual weights of lines, colors, forms, and textures are balanced without requiring exact duplication. This type of balance is not as ordered as symmetrical balance and can be more complex and exciting. For instance, a sofa can be balanced by placing two chairs on the other side. Prepared by Ass. Lec. Neveen Eid. RADIAL BALANCE Radial balance is achieved when there is a central focal point with other elements radiating from or around it. An example would be a round dining table, with chairs arranged around it. There is a lot of repetition of form, texture, and color. 10/14/2024 2. U NITY AND HARMONY Unity is a significant feature of house design. Every furnishing, style, and decoration item must work together to create a cohesive whole. The combined cohesion and uniformity of all the design elements give your interior design its beauty. The principle of harmony is coordinating objects and colors in a space to convey a sense of integrated design. There is harmony when all the things in a room collaborate around a theme or style. Harmony can be created using various methods, such as grouping furniture together, using similar colors and textures, or making a focal point. Prepared by Ass. Lec. Neveen Eid. 3. RHYTHM We create rhythm through the visual repetition of form. When decorating our homes, we should think about arranging elements in a way there is repetition, progression, transition, or contrast. Prepared by Ass. Lec. Neveen Eid. 4. 5. EMPHASIS In interior design, emphasis is the use of an accent in the room, such as color, component, texture, or pattern, that draws attention. A room with no focal point is forgettable and dull. The focal point can be an existing feature you want to highlight, such as a fireplace, a piece of furniture, or art that you want to use as the starting point for your design. Color is one of the most powerful tools that you can use to create emphasis.  6. CONTRAST There are many ways to create contrast in a room. One of the most obvious is using color. Pairing light and dark or warm and cool colors can create a striking effect. You can also use contrast in terms of texture, pattern, and scale. Contrast provides visual interest and helps to define spaces. Done well, it can make a room feel dynamic and exciting.  This final step allows you to 7.
