The Design Brief™ | Volume XVI | Design Elements: Shape and Form

Our in-house tenured design professor and certified interior designer, Gloria, always says that the Design Elements (that every interior design student learns about early on) are like the ingredients that go into a recipe. Add more sugar, and you'll have a sweeter dish; add more spices, and you’ll have a more savory one. 

Likewise, interior designers are adept at adding line, shape, pattern, texture, and color (the design elements) in thoughtful amounts to arrive at a desired design outcome and aesthetic result.                                                                                                           

We’ve covered some of the other design elements in previous editions of The Design Brief™:

• Using LINE Effectively in Interiors

• Color Theory 1

• Color Theory 2

• Using Color to Alter Spatial Perceptions

• Effective Interior Design Lighting Strategies

In today’s edition of The Design Brief™, we’ll delve into how you can use SHAPE and FORM to manipulate a space and achieve a specific outcome.
