Interior design is all about imaginative leaps and implementing them to manipulate the space provided. The process aims to offer an optimal combination of functionality and visual appeal. To keep things straight, some ‘logical’ chains, such as architecture, utility, budget, and customer specifications, remove the limits of creativity. The interior designer must be able to conceptualize improvements to the existing structural subdivisions (the architecture or layout) of the area. The design can be thematic, but the style must be visually clean and harmonized. To get off to a good start, a DIY interior designer, buyer, or space occupant needs to know the fundamentals of the field. Here are some elements that help enact inventive thoughts:

Space: This is simply the area to improve or design. It can be a house, an office, a studio, a building, just a room or even patios. Color matching, furnishings, decor, fixtures, fixtures and furnishings are the game changers here. As standard, the space should exude comfort, class, and positivity. The space must be modulated to allow free movement.

Line: One of the important design elements, it is a tangent of architecture and furniture, giving a structure to the space. The following types of lines exist in the design:

• Vertical lines: Used on windows, doors, curtains, furniture, etc., these lines add height and royalty to the space.
• Horizontal lines: Through chairs, tables, shelves, etc., they instill an informal and spacious aspect to the space.
• diagonal lines: They impart an unconventional touch.
• curves: They are not actually lines and are in fact used where lines cannot be formed. By concentrating on progression, uncertainty and flow, the arches of windows, doors, furniture and decoration convey softness and sublimity to the space.

Elevation: These are architectural drawings that give an overview of what the space will look like from a particular angle. Qualified architects make these drawings. The different types of elevations can be:

• Front raises: They show front doors, windows, and protrusions like chimneys, etc.
• Lateral Raises: They indicate the depth of the area as well as its slope.
• Back Raises: They stand out on the raised areas at the rear of the building.
• Split Raises: These are of vital importance for interior design, as they show the thickness of the floor or wall, the height of furniture and decoration, the height of the stairs, etc.

Texture: Texture is the appearance and consistency of the surface of a space. It is a factor of the types of materials used for the design. As a popular practice, for large, light areas, designers keep the surfaces slightly rough, while the glossy finish of satin and crinkled silk or velvet can create natural, uplifting moods, ideal for small, dark rooms. Contemporary Western design concepts enjoy crisp, minimalist designs. Metals, such as steel, chrome, and nickel, are especially popular because they give a clean, elegant look. Those with regal, rustic, or ethnic tastes prefer solid textures like those in wood furniture, decor, and flooring.

Color: This most important design factor for walls, floors, doors, and windows can significantly influence the appearance and perception of a room’s size, despite ordinary furniture and mundane décor. You choose warm or cold tones depending on the use of the space and the activity that is proposed in it. This color tone can also affect the mood of the occupant. Generally speaking, opaque shades such as light gray, light brown, cream, pastels, and even white when used alone or in combination can provide the desirable backdrop.

Lights: Working in coordination with the color scheme and texture, the lighting highlights the final look of the designed area. For example, while dim lights add warmth and coziness to a room, functional areas like hallways stay bright. For focused lighting, a wide range of lamps and accessories are available. Contemporary designers implement smart lighting even on shelves or cabinets.

Balance: It refers to the visual weight of the entire design proportionally distributed throughout the space. Broadly speaking, we can identify 3 types of equilibrium:

• Symmetrical balance: Mainly the domain of traditional experts, in this philosophy, the space is designed in a bilaterally symmetrical manner. This often has a nice but predictable ending.
• Asymmetric balance: Contemporary designers continue to experiment with asymmetrical orientations, sometimes fusing randomly selected elements together. For example, non-identical furnishing objects with a similar visual weight are introduced informally to add liveliness to the environment.
• radial symmetry: As the term suggests, this involves starting the design in the center and oozing out to the periphery.

Furniture: This is another important unit that can influence the design effect. Furniture is impressive if it talks about the following in the right balance:

• Quality
• function
• Sustainability
• shape
• Size
