EMPHASIS

Contrast can also be achieved by combining two or more forms like adding furniture in corner areas, use pillows or prints of two opposite colors like black and white to achieve contrast and make an object distinguishable.

For an example, placing pillows in sofas, placing different sized flower vase on corner etc. Under stuffed pillows would make a big sofa look empty and under accessorized, thus disrupting the harmony and proportion that is supposed to exist.

Unity achieved when all of the different elements in a design work together to create a unified whole. The designers use unity to make elements in a composition appear to belong together. A good understanding of Alignment of objects, Similarity of color/pattern/texture, Proximity of objects, Repetition of elements based on similarity, Continuation of interior design elements is a few ways to achieve Unity.

They give a special attraction to our eyes. Once you are sure that you have achieved all of the above mentioned principles, it’s time for details to take over and beautify the place further.
