Principals of Design: Emphasis 

 My emphasis was the windows  

Element of Design: Line

LINES

This Olio board shows; horizontal, Diagonal, vertical lines, and curved lines. the white trim, the red wood on the top, and the stone on the wall show horizontal lines. The shelving, and the windows, show vertical lines. The decoration in the pilows and on the rug show diagonal lines. Items that show curved lines are ; the cow printed ottoman, the blanket, the guitar, the lantern, the skulls, and the lamp shade. 

This board shows a lot of horizontal and vertical lines. with the curtains, the rug, and the ceiling. 

This board is a really good example of curved lines. the wire things in the background, the couch, the foot stools, the chairs. Basically everything in this has some kind of curved line in it.

This shows a good example of diagonal lines. with the stairs. Diagonal lines lead your eyes. 

Principles of Design: Balance

Design Challenge 

I have been hired as a design consultant by a client who is remodeling her living room. She has one large empty wall that needs to be filled over her couch. 

The client would like to see two options for the arrangement: symmetrical and Asymmetrical

The client has also asked me to keep these ideas in mind.

1. She would like to keep the couch against the wall

2. She would be open to the idea of adding lighting or end tables.

3. She would like a grouping of pictures that hang over the couch

Symmetrical

Asymmetrical
