There are five basic principles of art whosoever must consider decorating a room so that the result would be

attractive. These are:

1- Proportion

2- Balance

3- Harmony

4- Rhythm

5- Emphasis

Let explain one by one to the above Art Principles.

1-Proportion:

The proportion principle is now and then called code of relations. It is an Arian principle that the length and width
of any place or thing should have 2:3. For instance, if a room is 12 feet wide the length should be 18 feet. The
color of room and the size of room have also profound relation with each other. If a room is small then you can
create spaciousness by light paint on walls. The color on wall should match with other things color scheme.
Suppose, if the color of walls is white or off-white then cove of couch, curtain, carpet and other decoration pieces
must have wanton color scheme.

2- Balance:

It means to decorate the things together in such a way that their trivial sign should spellbinding. We can divide
balance in further two forms i.e. Formal and Informal. Informal Balance has more nearness, freedom, the right of
choice and variety while Formal Balance is reversed.

3- Harmony:

Harmony means unanimity which can be found in the following:

I. In form or line

II. In size or magnitude

III. In creation

IV. In the surface

V. In colors

To arrange the room or any thing under consider the above five elements, it can made eye-catching. Unanimity
means your creation aggregately striking and impressive.

4- Rhythm:

Rhythm means the movement of scene from one thing to another. Each movement is not pleasant if you feel
weariness and hindrance to watch the movement of one thing to another then its sign could not be comfortable.
When take a glance from one decoration to another in continuation then it give comfort to heart and soul. On the
other hand, if unable to create rhythm then the sign of creation would not be symmetrical.

5- Emphasis:

It means to give central importance to anything. Such as to keep the things on a apparent place which draw
attention towards initially.
Elements of art
The elements of art are a set of techniques that describe ways of presenting artwork. They
are combined with the principles of art in the production of art.[1]
The elements of art can include many or all of the following things that may concern an
artist: color, value, line, shape, and texture.

Space
The use of space and room in a piece of art. Positive space is the space taken up by
objects (surface). Negative space is the distance between objects (whitespace).
Nothing exists without it. Space can be thought of as the distance or area around, between,
above, below or within places. In art, space can be described as either two dimensional or
three dimensional.
The space in two dimensional artworks such as paintings, drawings, prints and photographs
(flat space) is essentially limited to height and width. While there is no actual depth or
distance in such works, artists have created techniques to create the illusion of depth or
distance on these flat surfaces. The following represents some of those techniques:

 The most prominent of these techniques is the application of linear perspective. Through
this application distant objects are rendered proportionately smaller than closer ones.
The determining factors of this space depends upon the horizon line and vanishing
points.
 Another of the more prominent techniques is known as atmospheric perspective. This
application renders distant objects and spaces with less detail and intensity than closer
objects. For example, the use of bluer colors for distant shapes can suggest space
between the viewer and the shapes.
 The placement of objects can give the illusion of space. Distant shapes are higher and
closer shapes are lower in the picture plane.
 Overlapping of objects on the picture plane can suggest space.

Through the rendering of these techniques, the artist appears to destroy the flatness of the
picture plane, transporting the viewer into what appears to be a world of actual space.
Three dimensional space is recognized as having height, width, depth, and is referred to as
actual space. This would include sculpture, furniture, architecture, ceramics and jewelry. In
the setting of a three dimensional work of art the viewer can freely move around and (in the
case of architecture) through it. Three dimensional art may use both positive and negative
space as a means of revealing content and meaning. For example, in sculpture the spaces in
and around the form can be described as negative space. Whereas the form itself may be
described as occupying a positive space. Another way to consider distinctions of positive
and negative space can be equated as the presence of physical material = positive; or in the
absence of it = negative. The consideration of how the artist uses both positive and negative
space in the articulation of their expression is an important factor.

Value (tone)
Sometimes combined with color, value describes the lightness (shade) or darkness
(dimness) of a color.
Value is often the single most important element in paintings and drawings and allows the
perception of forms. In other words, it is value and the changing values in pictures that
cause the perception of not just shapes, but implied three-dimensional forms.

Shape
The two-dimensional representation of an object or idea as a collection of dots and lines.
Shapes can be geometric, organic, or free-form.

Line
It is said lines do not exist in nature; what appears to be a line is only a difference in color. In
art there are many types of lines:

1. Actual line: The form of line drawn by pen, pencil, or other implement. It may be
straight or curved.
2. Contour line: an outline that defines the shape of an object as well as the internal
lines that define the form of an object
3. Implied line: Not a proper line, but an aid that pushes the eye along the artwork, a
suggested line.
4. Psychic line: This form of line has no physical value; it is a psychologically created
line (e.g., when pointing to something, the eye travels from the hand to that object
as if on a line.

Form
Form is the three-dimensional counterpart to shape. There are two types of form: Illusionary
form is created through the use of concepts such as perspective in order to show form on a
two-dimensional work, whereas real form is the form seen in sculpture and other three-
dimensional art.

Texture
Main article: Texture (visual arts)
Texture can be either real or perceived. Tactile texture is how an artwork actually feels, while
implied texture is how an artwork appears to feel.

Color
Colors in art are used in several ways. [2]

Primary colors
The primary colors are red, yellow and blue, and are used to create secondary and
intermediate colors.
Secondary colors
Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors together. The secondary colors are:
 1. Orange - made by mixing red and yellow
2. Green - made by mixing blue and yellow
3. Violet - made by mixing blue and red

Intermediate or Tertiary colors

Tertiary colors are made by mixing a secondary and a primary color together. Some
examples are blue-green and red-violet.
Warm, Cool and Neutral colors
Warm colors are the different shades of red, yellow and orange, and are called so because
they convey the feeling of warmth.
Cool colors are shades of blue, green and violet, conveying a feeling of coolness and quiet.
Neutral colors are also called the earth tones, and are the colors of black, white and gray. At
times brown, beige and tan are also considered as neutral colors. These colors can be made
by either mixing the complimentary colors, all of the primaries, or mixing black and white.
Complementary colors
Complementary colors are colors that are on the opposite sides on the color wheel. They
contrast each other and make each other appear brighter, adding energy to an artwork. The
complementary colors are:

1. Red and Green

2. Yellow and Violet
3. Blue and Orange

Principles of art
The principles of art are the set of rules or guidelines of art that are to be considered when
considering the impact of a piece of artwork. They are combined with the elements of art in the
production of art.[1][2] The principles are movement, unity, variety, balance, emphasis, contrast,
proportion, and pattern.
Movement

Action, or alternatively, the path the viewer's eye follows throughout an artwork. Movement is caused
by using elements under the rules of the principles in art to give the feeling of action and to guide the
viewer's eyes throughout the artwork.
Unity

Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of
the elements and principles of art. The arrangement of elements and principles to create a feeling of
completeness.[2]
Variety

Variety (also known as alternation) is the quality or state of having different forms or types. The
differences which give a design visual and conceptual interest: notably use of contrast, emphasis,
difference in size and color.[2]
Balance
Balance is arranging elements so that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than any
other part. The two different kinds of balance are symmetrical and asymmetrical. Symmetrical (or
formal) balance is when both sides of an artwork, if split down the middle, appear to be the same. The
human body is an example of symmetrical balance.[2]
Emphasis

Emphasis (also called focal point) is where the focus is concentrated through design principles or
meaning. To do this one develops points of interest to pull the viewer's eye to important parts of the
body of the work. It is to make one part of an artwork dominant over the other parts. It makes an
element or object in a work stand out. To use emphasis in an artwork is to attract the viewer's eyes to
a place of special importance in an artwork.[2]
Contrast

Contrast to show difference and diversity in an artwork by combining elements to create interest.
Contrast is to provide an artwork with something interesting to break the repetitions.[2]
Proportion

Proportion is a measurement of the size and quantity of elements within a composition. In ancient
arts, proportions of forms were enlarged to show importance. This is why Egyptian gods and political
figures appear so much larger than common people. The ancient Greeks found fame with their
accurately-proportioned sculptures of the human form. Beginning with the Renaisance, artists
recognized the connection between proportion and the illusion of 3-dimensional space.
Pattern/Rhythm

Pattern and rhythm (also known as repetition) is showing consistency with colors or lines. Putting a
red spiral at the bottom left and top right, for example, will cause the eye to move from one spiral, to
the other, and everything in between. It is indicating movement by the repetition of elements. Rhythm
can make an artwork seem active.[2]
