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.

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
