Basic Design Principles

In interior design it's important to understand and implement the balance of functionality, comfort, and beauty in equal parts. These key elements will serve as guidelines for creating aesthetically pleasing, yet practical spaces. Some of the fundamental principles we practice at Adorn Interiors include: 

 

 1. Balance: Achieving visual equilibrium in a space by distributing visual weight evenly. This can be done through symmetrical or asymmetrical balance. 

 

 2. Harmony and Unity: Ensuring that all elements in a space work together cohesively to create a sense of harmony and unity. This can be achieved through color schemes, patterns, and consistent styles. 

 

 3. Rhythm and Repetition: Creating visual interest and movement through the repetition of elements such as color, texture, or form, and establishing a sense of rhythm throughout the space. 

 

 4. Scale and Proportion: Ensuring that the size of objects and furniture in a space is proportionate to the overall room and that they relate well to each other. 

 5. Emphasis: Focusing on a specific area or element in a space to create a focal point that draws attention and creates visual interest. 

 

 6. Contrast: Using differences in elements such as color, texture, or form to create visual impact and add interest to a space. 

 

 7. Functionality: Designing a space to be functional and practical for its intended use while also maintaining aesthetic appeal. 

 

 8. Emotion and Personality: Incorporating elements that reflect the inhabitants' personalities and create an emotional connection to the space. 

 

By understanding and applying these principles, your home will not only be practical but beautiful and well-balanced, too!
