3 Design Principles


Interior Design for Beginners: 3 Design Principles Interior design is all about aesthetics and creating balance and harmony in a space. Listed below are three interior design principles that can be used to create beautiful spaces.


Achieving balance in a room means distributing the visual weight of its elements (furniture and accents).

Style Keep a space’s decor consistent by selecting an interior design style. There are many different interior design styles to choose from that each come with their own unique design elements, color schemes, window treatments, floor plans and even types of wall-art. Study a range of decorating styles to get an idea of what you like.

Focal point Every room should contain an element that draws the eye – an interesting or beautiful piece of furniture, art or architectural detail. However, too many focal points in a room can make it feel cluttered and overbearing.

Balance Achieving balance in a room means distributing the visual weight of its elements (furniture and accents). You can do so by considering scale, texture, and placement – all important aspects of interior design. To make your rooms appear harmonious and well-balanced, pay attention to how colors and textures differ in a single space.
