First of all, I L.O.V.E. this space. Dream living room? I think yes. I love the warmth, the colors, the sense of class, and the very modern feeling of this space. I want to highlight the Elements and Principles of Design used in the space, but the last thing I want is to bore you as you read, so I will only highlight my favorites about this picture.
Color: Contrary to my normal taste, I really like the primarily cream color scheme in this space. The pops of bright color in the pillows and books brings an interest to the space.
Texture: With the cream color scheme, the textures are highlighted. The walls are smooth, making the furniture pop in the room. The rug's fuzzy texture stands out against the smooth composure of the rest of the area.
Repitition: The bookshelves display perfect repitition through the matching bowls, repeated in a pattern on both sides of the fireplace. The books and frame also reflect across the fireplace.
Balance: The balance in this picture is obvious. The sofas mirror one another, while complimenting the symmetry in the architecture. The bookshelves are in perfect symmetry with each other, and matching lamps adorn the back corners.
Overall, this space represents many of Elements and Principles of Design. Shouldn't we all consider them as we design and redesign our favorite spaces? Again, I think yes.
