Elements of Interior Design - Emphasis
After the design principles have been addressed, the elements of interior design come into play--what most of us think of as the creative part of interior design--Emphasis; Color; Line, Pattern & Texture and Lighting. Some aspects of these are straight forward, others are more taste-oriented.
Emphasis
Emphasis is about choosing a focal or starting point. Room use can determine the emphasis, or it might be a stunning architectural element, a breathtaking view, a striking painting, a well-worn rug, decorative fabric, tile or wallpaper, or a favorite collection. It doesn't have to dominate the space, but it will be the feature that guides and influences your other choices. From it you might draw a color, theme or mood. It sets the tone for the space; everything else supports it.
Comments
By carefully selecting and emphasizing a particular element, the designer can create a visual hierarchy that draws attention and creates a sense of balance and harmony within the space. This element doesn't have to dominate the room but should guide and inspire other design elements.
