A lot of people often underestimate the process of interior design. It is more than an art or simply choosing a few ornamental items, carpets, and mats and arranging them with artistic intent. Interior design Abu Dhabi<\/a> follows a scientific process that requires proper training, technical knowledge, and a strong professional background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proportion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is also known as the Law of Relationship. It talks about the relationships between various items in a group. The influencing factors can be size, shape, color, pattern, texture, lighting, etc. Every item in a room must keep its proportion with the size of the room and other objects in that room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, keeping a small flower vase on a large table, placing a large lamp on a small table, etc can look very out of the world. The same goes for a small frame picture with a very spacious wall. There should be a balance between items that are meant to act together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Symmetrical Balance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is also known as formal balance. In this method objects of equal weight are equidistant from the center and different ends. Grouping is easy in symmetrical balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another variation of symmetrical balance is optical balance. In this method objects that do not have the same shape or color are placed equidistant from the center point. Because they have the same value of interest and attraction. This method is also known as Obvious Balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asymmetrical Balance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Also known as informal balance, in this method, one large object is placed near the center. And a smaller object is placed far from the center. Such a method needs creative brilliance and is suitable for small homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this method, in an arrangement, a centre of interest is emphasised by the most important feature. Make sure that in every arrangement we know what to emphasise, where to emphasise, and how to emphasise. Emphasis can be given to a single object or a group of objects. Use of items like attractive curtains, particularly groups of furniture, use of bright contrasting colours, use of sufficient space as background around an object, use of decoration etc can act as a centre of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of unusual lines, shapes, sizes, colours etc can also be used to achieve emphasis. Anything very beautiful right in front of the entrance can have a dominating effect in the room. And takes the eye of those who enter the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhythm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this method, the movement of the eye while viewing a design is important. Interest is created by an organised movement to reduce monotony. There are three ways to develop Rhythm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
