We're already familiar with the importance of using all elements to achieve a feeling of unity, and it gives a room its unique characteristics. Now, we can play this rule better. A room with harmony can still have some variety-but it will be desirable variety, rather than unnecessary confusion.
Harmony may be attained through a combination of design elements that have something in common. The common factor may be in terms of line, form, scale, texture, value, and so on. Thus, harmony can be created in many ways. Below shows some typical examples:
Line Harmony: In the example, the curved lines of the window treatment are echoed in the curved lines of the back and arms of the love seat. And, the triangular table and the rectangular table are also harmonious in regard to line-both feature straight lines.
Form Harmony: Harmony of form can be established by combining identical shapes, such as those found in the nesting tables.
Scale Harmony: The two chairs are harmonious in size, or scale, even though the shapes of their backs are totally different.
Texture Harmony: The shapes of the lamps are different, but their bodies have texture harmony.
Value Harmony: Similar colour values are apparent in the differently shaped chairs.
To achieve harmony in a room, it must develop and preserve one dominant theme: richness, simplicity, formality, informality, strength (boldness), delicacy, nostalgia, or ultra-modernity. That dominant theme may be enriched by a subtle, subordinate theme. Mix and matching elements that slightly different flavours, but still share some common trait such as sleek table and contemporary upholstered chairs exude an atmosphere of sophisticated modernity, or curved mahogany table in the centre of a room with velvet sofas and drapery. As it mentioned last post, keep it somewhere between two extremes of discord and monotony is that middle ground, which is harmony.
