What’s a home without life and color?
Not to be confused with proportion, scale looks at the size of something as it relates to another element of known size.
One of the most basic Elements of Design is form. Form is made up of points, lines, planes, volumes, and shapes; these then become the starting point to your design. When looking for a new home, or remodeling your current one, the form is one of the most important aspects to consider, but, can be manipulated through design and decoration.
I am a learner. No, really. According to the Strengths Finder test, my top strength is being a Learner which means I enjoy the journey of understanding new things. With that in mind, and in the spirit of school-time starting back up, I thought: what better way to start the new school year, than to bring home a topic that every designer should know: Design Theory!
And that is where “You Learn Something New: Elements of Design in Your Home” came into action. I wanted to dedicate this month to learning all of the different Elements of Design (form, scale, color, texture, pattern, light) and how to bring them in your home design. So get ready, this month is going to be fun!
