Creator: Tojiboyeva Zulxumor The elements of design are the basic components used as part of any composition. They are the objects to be arranged, and the constituent parts used to create the composition itself, whether that composition is a poster, a

chairs or other seating
grouped around it.
Rhythm
Rhythm supplies the discipline that controls the eye as is moves around a room. Rhythm helps the eye to move easily from one object to another and creates a harmony that tells the eye everything in the room belongs to a unified whole.
Rhythm is created through repetition of line, form, color or texture. It can also be created through progression. Progressive rhythm is a gradual increasing or decreasing in size, direction or color.
Focal Point
Focal Point is the emphasis of the room. The focal point should be obvious as you enter the room; it is the area to which your eye is attracted. Whatever is featured, as the center of interest –a fireplace, artwork or a window treatment framing a beautiful view – must be sufficiently emphasized so that everything else leads the eye toward the featured area. You can add emphasis to a natural focal point or create one in a room through effective use of line, form, color and texture.
Scale
Size relationships in a room are defined by proportion and scale. Proportion refers to how the elements within an object relate to the object as a whole. Scale relates to the size of an object when compared with the size of the space in which it is located.
A space that is smaller needs furniture that is scaled down to fit in it,
as in the example above.
A good design is a unified whole that encompasses all the other elements and principles of design. Unity assures a sense of order. There is a consistency of sizes and shapes, a harmony of color and pattern.
The ultimate goal is to create a design with unity and harmony and a sense of rhythm. Repeating the elements, balancing them throughout the space, and then adding a little variety so that the space has its own sense of personality accomplishes this. Too much unity can be boring; too much variety can cause a restless feeling. Juggling the elements and principles to get just the right mix is a key to good design.
