People sometimes confuse interior design with decoration. The choices of coverings, finishes and colors are important interior design aspects but not the only important characteristics. For interior design companies in Abu Dhabi and elsewhere, it is important to understand customer desires and behavior to make aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces.

To produce those kinds of spaces, they must consider various aspects at the start of an interior design project, comprising space, line, form, light, color, texture, and pattern. Interior designers will work on those seven elements to help balance out an indoor scheme as well as make the output aesthetically pleasing and functional. Here, as a residential interior design Abu Dhabi service provider, we will discuss some of those elements.

Space

In the interior design process, the word space describes the distance from and about furniture to other things and their respective proportions in a room. Interior designers must use negative and positive spaces properly to get the balance in a room. The term positive space alludes to the positions of objects in a room, like armchairs and sofa. Conversely, negative space describes the gaps between the objects, including circulation space to navigate through that room, and the open areas that keep it from seeming cluttered.

An elegant interior Abu Dhabi professional, too, must achieve the right balance between both spaces to make a room seem well arranged. A room with a greater amount of negative space seems more spacious and perhaps bigger. Conversely, one with excessive negative space possibly makes it seem impersonal and under-furnished. A room that has excessive positive space can seem over-furnished and crowded.

How can a creative design Abu Dhabi professional get that right? The perception of beauty is subjective. If you regard a cluttered interior space as a home-like room, it would suit you to have a greater amount of negative space there. However, a room should at least have a 1-meter wide thoroughfare, whereas gaps between two pieces of furniture are comfortable at about 50 centimeters.

Line

The furnishings in a room and structural features can make lines that deeply affect how the space feels. Interior design companies in Abu Dhabi can also use lines to highlight a central point. Lines can be horizontal, dynamic and vertical.

Horizontal lines, like table lines, create an impression of interior stability and can make the space seem wider. Vertical lines come from physical features such as doors and windows or perhaps a tall place for burning wood. Vertical lines are valued for offering an impression of interior freedom and making the space seem taller. For instance, picking a tall furniture item can make you look upwards while visually heightening the room. It is essential for interior design companies in Abu Dhabi and elsewhere to make vertical lines and horizontal lines balanced.

Form

The word form refers to shape as well as pertains to how a room and the objects in it look. It might be a natural or geometric shape, besides the irregular shape of nature or curvaceous pieces. Natural spaces and balance can contribute to making a subtle effect on an interior space versus the stronger geometric patterns.
