  Light informs so much of the experience in a space ~ Darryl Carter Of all the light to consider in a home, daylight is the most important and attractive.  The quality and quantity of daylight in your home should have been determined early in the design process.  Factoring in the natural light each room receives, now you must decide where you need and want additional light.  This is a crucial piece of the interior design puzzle.  Studies have shown that lighting conditions in rooms can have an impact on people's mood and behavior.

Line has to do with the form of objects in a room.  Angular furniture contributes to a clean, contemporary space, while soft, curved lines elicit a lived-in and traditional space.  The lines of stair railings can create a transition between spaces, while countertops divert your vision to the horizontal line of the room.  Even patterns that repeat can create a continuous line that your eyes will follow.   This piece is very traditional (armoires in themselves are dated).  The curved line of the top and the carving in the wood add a softness that can't be mistaken for a contemporary setting.
