Creating a Well Designed Masterpiece

You mean there is actually an Art to Designing Interior Spaces?
The Art of Design is simply a system that can be applied like the notes on a music scale to help you create a masterpiece of Beauty, Character and Classic Style.  Here's how it works:

SCALE...is used to determine the Size of the Objects within the space and how well they fit into the area.
This concept applies to the elements of Depth, Proportion, and Dimension which are used to create the
Design Composition.

HARMONY....like in music, is the coordination of various elements such as Color, Styles, Furnishing and Accessories blended together to either complement or add contrast to the space.

RHYTHM ....is the Flow established between the Objects, People and Architectual Structures existing within an area to create Balance, Order, and the Perspective of Negative or Positive Space.

SEQUENTIAL ORDER....is the arrangement used to determine how items are placed within a particular area to enhance a room's Look or Function.  Just as in music, this is an invaluable tool used to establish the of grouping items by height, width, size or style.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS....Lighting, Form, Function, Style, Historical Character, Architecture and Construction Quality are the final ingredients that make up the tools used are used to transform a blank canvas into a Symphony of Art by applying the Elements and Principles of Design.

Using these concepts can help even a novice create their own Interior Design Masterpiece transforming their home into a showplace that anyone would be proud to display.
