Line & Form
Line: Lines can be vertical, horizontal or even diagonal and can be curvy or straight. All of the elements within a room can contain lines including the flooring, wall coverings, window coverings, furniture, accessories and fabrics. Additionally, the architecture within a room (doors, archways, windows, columns and even moldings) have lines in them. Curvy lines in a room (such as lines in archways or rounded off furniture) are softer and more feminine while straight lines (such as doors,chair molding, square tables) are more masculine and have a feeling of strength.
Lines create movement within a room. The eye follows the lines and is directed towards the focal point in a room. Too many lines within one space can look busy while not enough lines in a room can make a room look boring and bare. Therefore, your goal is to create a space that has enough lines within it to add interest and give the eye directions about where to look, without overdoing it. Form: Form relates to the shape of an item or room element (whether it be a piece of furniture or accessory or lamp or window covering or wall etc.) within a room. When decorating, you should select items (e.g. furnishings and accessories, etc.) that go with the architectural form within the room regardless of the decorating style. For example, if the room has rounded corners and archways, furnishings with curves and rounded shapes will work well while furnishings that are boxy with hard edges won't. If the walls of the room are high yet narrow, then the furnishings should also be tall and narrow. By following the form of the room with items of similar shape and form, you will create a space that is in harmony. You will know that you have successfully decorated a room when you have a good feeling about how the room looks and the look is pleasing to your eyes. However, if something seems off kilter when you look at the room, you know that you have further re-arranging to do. |
