rhythem

This week in Interior Design we learned about rhythm.There are three types of rhythm, the first one is repetition. Repetition is used by repeating any element of design such as line, color or texture.
This picture uses the repetition of lines on the wall.

This pictures shows repetition in the colors. The walls and chairs are blue and then green is used in the fruit and plants.

The second type of rhythm is radiation. It gives the room a circular or sweeping movement.
It can be used on a larger scale, such as ina  whole room. The steps in the room give it the circular feeling.
It can also be used on a smaller scale such as in furniture. In this picture the example would be the light fixture and the bottom of the table.

The third type of rhythm would e gradation. Gradation is the change in size in objects from large to small or colors light to dark.
This pictures shows gradation in the use of color. The color starts light and gets darker at the bottom.
This picture uses gradation in the use of size. The steps start small and get larger as they go down.
