If you want to bring your dream interior to reality, you must focus on implementing certain rules which give you the result. 

Here are the list of Interior Designing Principles

  • Balance
  • Emphasis
  • Contrast
  • Rhythm
  • Scale and Proportion
  • Harmony and Unity
  • Details

Each and every principle is very important for an interior designing project. It doesn’t matter whether it is commercial or residential. 

Balance:

A Professional interior designer who has undergone proper training knows how important the ‘balance’ concept is.  We must concentrate on Visual weight of the room space and how we are gonna divide it between walls. 

Balance creates the equilibrium there are three types of balance

  • Symmetrical Balance : It is also called formal balance, where the space is divided into two splits. So they just look like a mirror. Every decorative item will be replicated on the other side.
  • Asymmetrical Balance : They do not have any duplication, like symmetrical balance that’s the reason this balance is also called as informal. From visual effects to textures and design everything will be informal. Symmetrical balance will have ordered decorations and patterns, asymmetrical is vice versa to that.
  • Radial Balance  : Radial balance is a simple concept, where the design and decoration starts from the Focal point. So the repetition of colors and patterns reach all over the place from the focal point.

Emphasis Principle: 

It’s all about focal point, attention grabber. We interior designers know the psychology of design and principles. If it is furniture or a dining table, they act as a center of attraction. 

All the elements should influence the focal point without any distraction. All the interiors in chennai, used to do the same traditional techniques. But EPS Interior Industries always stay ahead for concepts and principles. 

Contrast Principle: 

Interior designing is all about comfortable and astonishing living, if not why would homeowners, corporates need to spend millions of rupees for the designing. 

The same way after the balance of space and focal point. We must implement contrast. Contrast always makes your space more interesting and alive. Contrast can be done by color, form and space.

Rhythm: 

Rhythm is considered as the secret sauce in interior designing.  If you want your space, focal point, and contrast.

Rhythm helps you to organize the interior in a proper way at the same time it gives you eye-catching and brings a lot of attention to the interiors. 

There are 5 techniques in rhythm to make everything possible.

  • Contrast
  • Transition
  • Gradation
  • Radiation
  • Repetition

Only interior designers should implement the technique, because they know which one to integrate and which one to reject.

Scale & Proportion:

This concept might be easy to understand, but implementing it needs a lot of experience and knowledge.

Scale : Scale is nothing but comparing the size and heights of an object. It can be either wall heights, dining table, wardrobe. 

Proportion:

Proportion is nothing but the size of the objects like. It tends to identify how much space the object is utilized in the room. 

The average global golden ratio of Scale and proportion is 1.618. Modern Interior designers in Chennai like us know the nuances of this golden ratio. 

Details: 

We must give a lot of attention to details because all other principles will help to shape the interiors but Detail principle will give attractiveness to the entire interiors. 

Interior designers and homeowners should make a combined effort to bring life to detail principle. 

  • Choose the right color
  • Choose the quality and durable fabrics.
  • Make sure the materials should be ISO Grade.
  • Style decides the lifestyle of the homeowner and home. So based on the psychological factors interior designers should choose the style.

Usually we need to mix nature and color with the interiors. Even small details must be taken care of, if we fail to do that we might end up designing some useless and boring interior design.

Harmony & Unity: 

Till now we have completed 6 principles of interior designing. The final one is a little bit different from the other principles. Harmony and unity brings life to the interiors. We have already focused on form, shape, style, texture and so on. 

So harmony is not easy to achieve, it is very difficult to bring it on. How it’s possible, the way people should recognize what we have done. Its like 

  • Recognizing the patterns.
  • Recognizing the texture &
  • Recognizing the shape and decor objects.

Conclusion: 

There are almost 100’s of interior designing companies in and around chennai. But I will promise that 90% interior designers never use principles and concepts. Only a few interior companies know the nuances of concepts and principles.
