Rhythm in Home Decor

Think rhythm is only important in music - as is "Gee, Mr. Clark!
It's got a good beat and I can dance to it?" Surprise! Rhythm
is also important in interior decorating and room design! In
many cases it is an element that is "felt" intuitively and not
immediately apparent to the viewer. But it is an element that
makes a room seem - for want of a better word - "right."
Here's how to bring rhythm to your room!
1. Bring rhythm by repeating lines in the room - just like a
musical beat. Repeat circles in various forms around the
room, or curves or even vertical lines. (But there is a fine
line between rhythm and cacophony (big word for noise!).
2. Arrange items from small to large - in groupings of home
accessories, placement of tables and picture frames.
3. Make the room flow! (No, that does not mean turning on the
faucet!) An example of flow is when curved lines in the room
lead the eye smoothly from one element to another without a
jarring note.
4. Add a little contrast! Repetition of shapes, lines, patterns
and colors can be boring if you let it. Add a little contrast
to create interest! Just make certain the contrast doesn't
hit the viewer smack dab in his equilibrium (that can hurt!).
A little thought and planning can help you bring a pleasing
rhythm to your room. Now you just have to decide - is your room
jazz, swing or waltz?
