Rhythm

This week in interior design we learned about rhythm. Rhythm uses pattern to create interest and unity in design. You can create rhythm when using certain lines,colors,forms or texture in a constant pattern.



Repetition  is the use of the same element more then once throughout the space. It can be pattern, color, texture, or line.
The repetition in these rooms is the pictures that are the same size and are hung in a certain pattern .

 

Radiation - All parts of a composition are balanced and repeated around a central axis.
The points of radiation in these rooms are the table and the carpet in the center that draws your eye out. In the second room in is the blue ottoman in the center in the room and the octagon  on the ceiling.



   

Gradation- Completed by increasing or  decreasing one or more qualities,such as height or width or over all size
You can see graduation in the first picture by the records on the wall or the vases that vary in size.
In the second one it is the yellow things on the wall that change color and size.
