ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
The high contrast of the pillows and artwork in comparison to the rest of the room make the space feel vibrant. Imagine how different it would look if they were replaced with neutral tones.
COLOR Color is one of the most powerful tools used in interior design and decorating. It is critical to understand the relationships among colors, the effect particular colors and color schemes have on a space, and the way colors make people feel. • Dim lighting reduces a color’s value and diminishes its hue while high lighting levels intensify the hue or can wash it out. • Take the client to the location in the store that best reflects the lighting in the room they are designing to determine the best scheme. • The amount of area covered affects color. Variations may be negligible in a small color sample but may be overwhelming in the finished product; color intensifies as the area of color increases.
