Interior Design and it's Decoration

-


Can someone define design? It is funny how 10 different people will give 10 different answers to the very same question of what is design. Everyone will have a different perspective about design.

            According to us, Design is the way of expressing ideas in a form of any art. All the answers would be different but the primary base would be expression of what’s inside one’s mind. So a successful design will have all it’s principles such as Balance, Rhythm, Repetition, Unity and Harmony, Emphasis and so on. Keeping these principles in mind, a piece of work can be termed as design. Design is definitely something more than just making things pretty.

BALANCE
Every design contains a few things such as colors ,patterns, straight lines, curves, lights, furniture placement, decoration part such as vases, artworks, paintings,and so on. These elements will have a certain visual weight. Some elements will be heavier than the other according to the eye of the viewer. So it is important to create a feeling of balance with the help of these elements


RHYTHM
Every element of design in a particular space should have a smooth flow to the next element for the eye of the viewer. It can be obtained with the help of colors, patterns, lines etc.


REPETITION
A design cannot have all the elements different from each other. It will create a feeling of being lost. Repetition is the key to unlock and to unify several different elements into one design. It can be done using patterns, forms, colors, textures and so on.



EMPHASIS
A design has all the elements in proportion , but there are some elements we want to highlight and have the viewer’s attention towards it. That’s where Emphasis comes into play.


CONTRAST
The word contrast is related to colour. Many a times the design is perfectly shaped but it lacks something for which a client will say WOW! It can easily be obtained by smartly using a pop colour keeping other things lighter. Explore more kitchens with pop colour.

UNITY AND HARMONY
When everything is designed, there comes the question of how these elements are dwelling with each other. These elements of design should look like a family. Designs with good unity will have a better impact on the viewer than the design with poor unity. 


Once the space is designed there comes it’s decoration part. One is incomplete without the other, but to master the usage of the same is no piece of cake. It becomes a challenge to know where to stop designing and to start decorating because sometimes “Too much of design also becomes a disaster”.

Have you ever been to a house which feels like a walk in an exhibition of decorative light fixtures and artworks? 50% of the customers cannot differentiate between a well designed space and a space that’s well decorated. It is as simple as a face of a small baby and a woman with full loaded jewellery and make up.

A space feels complete when it has perfect amount of design and only the things which are needed to enhance the existing design. Anyone with a good eye for things can decorate a space, but only a professional can design a space. Design has an unlimited scope whereas decoration has a limited scope. Decoration comes once the design is done. Design and decoration are in a process and not two individual concepts. The decoration should be such that it compliments the design.

One can decorate a space with the help of attractive light fixtures, plants, attractive wall hangings, paintings, artworks and many more items. The principle of decoration is only about the placement of objects to acquire a perfect balance with the design and keeping in mind the harmony of the whole space when looked together as one. There are several small spaces in a space which needs only decoration and no design.

Here is an example on how decoration helps enhancing the design. Click the below link to to know more about balcony design and decoration https://www.instagram.com/p/B6SVLk4HUDj/

NATURE OF THE SPACE

As the heading suggests - Nature of the Space, it refers to the nature of spatial configurations. We always have a desire to see and learn something new which enriches us. We always try to see beyond our perceptible limits. We are always fascinated by the unpredictable quality of nature, its patternless expression. Nature of the space includes our innate and learned desire to be able to see beyond our immediate surroundings. It also includes our fascination with the slightly unknown obscured views with its sense of danger. The strongest Nature of the Space experiences are achieved through the creation of deliberate and engaging spatial configurations commingled with patterns of Nature in the Space and Natural Analogues. This particular category includes 4 patterns of biophilic design and they are as follows: Prospect : This pattern usually overlaps the very first pattern that is visual connection with nature. Prospect is an uninterrupted view over a distance for survei

NON-RHYTHMIC SENSORY STIMULI

Have you ever been mentally and visually engaged by a cloth hanging in your balcony to dry up moving slowly and irregularly with the wind and your mind is not able to guess its next direction of flow? That’s exactly what this means, I’m sure it is experienced by each and everyone. Before we understand the topic in detail we need to understand the title so let’s break down the title, Non rhythmic means irregular, not uniform, something which is free, sensory means relating to your physical senses, an ability to sense things around yourself, and stimuli means a response to some activity, causes development or interest, so Non Rhythmic Sensory Stimuli means a human response to an irregular activity occurring naturally in the environment. In one of our previous blog titled as Visual connection with nature, we have mentioned how staying connected with nature helps in human well being in spaces like residences, workspaces, health care and so on. This pattern usually overlaps the previous pat

NON-VISUAL CONNECTION WITH NATURE

In the previous blog, we saw how visual connection with nature benefits our overall health and affects our mind in a positive way. It took care of one sense of the human body and that is vision, but what about the other 4 senses? If by engaging only one sense can be so impactful on our mind and body, imagine how much the other senses including the first one will make an impact on us. The other four senses include the sense of smell, the ability to hear, the sense of taste, the feeling of touch. These senses can be experienced separately, although the experience is multiplied and the health effect is intensified if multiple senses are experienced at the same time or engaged together as one experience. Now imagine yourself walking barefoot on a beach with your eyes closed and feeling the cool and pleasant breeze on your skin, the sound of waves crashing to the shore hitting your ears and you are moving towards the water feeling the texture of slightly warm sand, and as you keep
