Home Stager with Lea-Ann's Home Beautiful Staging and Design LLC

The principles of design are the unchanging rules that when followed and applied create amazing beautiful spaces.  Whether you are looking for modern, casual, traditional, formal or a style all your own, the same principals are used, Just the elements will change.  Even when staging your home to create rooms that draw buyers and emotionally impact them, using design principles is critical.  Here are the basics on the principles of design, give them a try in your home.

The Principles of Design:

Balance:  The even distribution of the visual weight within a room.

Proportion:  Creating a feeling of unity or harmony when all the visual attributes (i.e. color, shape, texture, etc.) relate well to each other.

Scale:  The size of a pattern or object relative to other patterns, objects or design elements and their surroundings.

Emphasis:  The part of the design that jumps out and attracts attention (i.e. the focal point of the room)

Harmony:  When all the parts work together for a visually pleasing result giving the feeling of completeness to the space.
