Elements of Interior Design - Line, Pattern & Texture
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.
