Principles and Elements of Design

In this image, the table in the background represents a very structural design. The floating cabinets on either side of the fireplace represent a balance principle of design. The shelves above the cabinets utilize a line element of design. The usage of dark gray and light colored wood in the space crates rythym by contrast.

The carpet in the foreground and the tiles in the background represent an element of pattern in design. The stone table represents an organic shape, an element of design. The usage of green throughout the space ties it together, a use of harmony; a principle of design. The shapes of the picture frames and chandelier in the space create rhythm by repetition. 

The shapely armchairs in the foreground represent a decorative piece of furniture. The radial layout serves to emphasize the space, specifically the "interior" of the circle. The throw pillows on the couch create a white-blue pattern; a rhythm by alternation.

The texture of the carpet and that of the chair contrast nicely, utilizing a texture element of design. The proportions between the shelving and the shorter chair is an example of proportion.
