THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

The following seven tools are essential for creating a harmonious living space: Balance ensures that visual weight is evenly distributed, creating a sense of stability. Unity brings cohesion, making sure all elements complement each other. Scale relates to the size of objects in relation with each other, ensuring proper proportions. Color sets the mood and ties a room together. Texture adds depth and interest, while pattern introduces rhythm, and emphasis draws attention to focal points, making spaces engaging and dynamic.
