Elements and Principles
Overview A) Elements of design
Space Any spaces that can be brought design elements by a designer’s input. The inputs should have special feeling after
the design processes were completed. Moreover, space is depicted in two dimensions including or three
dimensions that produces “volume” work area.
Line Line is defined as space and create a sense of direction and feeling of a design. Lines can lead the sight, outline an
object, divide the space and communicate a feeling or emotion
Shape In order to develop visual pleasing and suitable interior, we should consider structures. Structures is determined
as spaces and rooms that are basis for interior designer’s applications. Shapes are created by connecting lines to
enclose a space within a structure.
Colour It is an important element and can alter the perceived shapes, size, and locations of an object. Color would change
the characters and the feeling of a space. This can visually bring things forward or make them recede.
Texture This is determined as characteristics of anything people feel or touch. Texture is visual as well as sensory - people
feel through seeing. The texture of all surfaces and finishes in a space can be selected carefully to bring another
dimension of the design
Light This is an element that encompasses two separate aspects of design. Designers should consider and manipulate
both natural and artificial lights to make design elements for their subject
Pattern This is the repetition of a graphic motif on a material. Patterns play an important role in a design to add interest,
create contrast and bring together various kind of elements like color, line and shape.

Elements and Principles
Overview B) Principles of design
Balance It is an idea that when you walk into room, and everything has its place. It gives feeling of
stability and sense of equilibrium. Everything should just complement one another and come
together to form a cohesive final result.
Rhythm and Repetition It can be described as pattern that provides visual movement that invites your eye to move
across the space in a pleasing, choreographed way. Rhythm will support to create the desired
mood that will develop use and emotional content of the space.
Emphasis Emphasis in a room refers to the focus point that creates the attention of clients. It should be
focusing the which your eye is attracted. Space or room can have a build focal point or a
created one.
Proportion and Scale This refers to a general relationship in size between objects or between parts within an object.
Scale is relative and compares an item or space to something of a known size, which could be a
measure or another object
Harmony The success of the design could be contributed the principles of harmony. Harmony is the
combination of similar parts or elements used in the design. The more similarities used the
more composition is called to be harmonious. So, even if a designer has broken some rules, the
success is because they have used other parts that are like achieve harmony

Modern kitchen

Principles of the kitchen design
Balance There is an asymmetrical or informal balance. Lines, pattern and empty spaces of the kitchen are relatively
balanced across the kitchen. This kind of design is commonly used in modern interior design as making
design visually interesting and complex. For example, countertop and double ceiling and two sides empty
spaces of the kichen are a totally balanced in the room. Moreover, dark and bright colors equally
balanced across the room. Balance of positive space and negative space of the kitchen feels as spacious.
The vertical lines made room seems a heigh and dignity and the horizontal lines could create a sense of
intimacy and contemporary. If we see materials that have chosen, there are hard materials (stones,
steel) and warm materials (wood) that have balanced properly. We can see both natural lights and artificial
lights from this design.
Rhythm and Repetition The designer mixed more thhe an 5 different colors in the one room, did not repeat only one texture or
material. This achievement made balance a balance of similar and different elements to keep the space
interesting while maintaining cohesion. Repetition is occurring in various places around the kitchen, such
as countertop, cupboard, chairs, jar, flowers and so on. We can see plenty of materials or textures from the
details of the room.
Proportion and Scale The modern, open concept design of this space allows for the large, customized rectilinear-shaped island
with seating. The island is not only super large to support preparation and entertaining space; the
proportion of the island to the rest of the room allows it to function as a sort of divider that creates
distinct zones for cooking, dining, and living in the space.

Principles of the kitchen design
Emphasis The emphasis/focal point is one of my favorite principles of design to work with. Here the idea is to showcase a
portion of the design and hold the viewer’s attention. Often referred to as the “wow” factor one can be as
creative as they want as long as thought is given to the rest of the design principles. One of my favorite design
projects was a master bathroom that was designed in all marble.
The entire bathroom was jaw-dropping so creating a focal point meant we had to get creative. The solution was
building a false wall to house a fireplace and wall to wall niche tiled in herringbone which was accented with sun
from a skylight. Though the entire space was breathtaking everyone who entered held their attention to the false
wall we created. Focal point achieved!
Harmony The designer successfully used principles of harmony as rectilinear shapes of double ceiling encounter top
double ceiling,
shape, color, texture, size, similar materials, similar detail charactrestics, common decorative style
