The Principle of Arrangement in Interior Design
Every room inside the home should be arranged in such a way that there is free movement through and within them. The flux of people inside the home should not be hampered by any object if proper arrangement is applied.
Setting a theme for every room is also important in setting the overall mood when a person enters a specific room. Grouping of furnishings and electronic appliances is also desirable and is very helpful in setting a theme for a room. As an illustration, a set of comfortable chairs can be grouped with a high-definition television and a DVD player to create a basic home theatre system in a specific room. When seen in the general perspective, the room should appear to have balance and organization.
Arrangement of furnishings, placement of different home decorations, and installation of window coverings create a harmony of design. Horizontal lines make a room seem wider while on the other hand, vertical lines make a room appear taller thus narrower.
Mirrors and wall decors placed near the bottom part of the wall help in creating a horizontal appearance of a room. Window draperies hanging on the frame also helps in creating this visual. Meanwhile, tall pieces of furniture and window dressings with strong colors create a vertical appearance.
