Principals of Design

2.Line- The lines in a room are second only to color in importance when it comes to setting the overall mood or feeling of a room.


3.Form- Lines that join together produce the form, or shape, of an object, which in turn impacts the overall feeling of a room.


4.Color- More than any other element, color can make a room beautiful. Color can set the mood. It can make a room warmer or cooler, larger or smaller.


5.Texture- Texture is playing an increasingly important role in decorating. Visual texture is a material's apparent smoothness or roughness.
