Line

Curved line is in this olioboard in the draps on the window, the curved table, the rounded couch, and the circular desgin on the room seperator.



The fire place and the wall with art next to it help to make the room taller.  The difference in the fireplace and the wall creates a verticle line drawing your eye up.  This makes the room more formal.



The stair case in this room creates a diagonal line that dominates the space.   
The wide window with the long bed in front of it makes the room look wider. They also make the room more relaxing.

Color Forecast

A color forecast predicts the colors that will be prominant in peoples lives based on just about anything; wars, economy, and trends in magazines.  The colors forecast shows that chocolate browns are fading with grey on the rise and a lot of bright pops of colors with neutral rooms.  Blues are inclining after 9/11 and greens are rising because our peoples consciousness to be ecofriendly.  I did a monochromatic blue bedroom.

Color Schemes

Monochromatic

This monochromatic red room is a cool place for the kids to hang out with friends or family.  I felt that the red is an energetic color and the cushy couches would be a nice place to relax.

Analogous

I chose to do an analogous room for the girl using purples, blues, and greens.  These colors are really relaxing colors which is always good for a bedroom. 

Triadic 

 

This triadic space is using oranges, greens, and purples.  It's a very simple living room, but very classic also.

Split-Complementary

The family was wanting a space to watch movies together.  I used split complementary; orange, yellow, and blue.  I put a lot of comfortable chairs for all the family and friends to sit on.
