Perhaps you've seen someone's hair, dress, shoes, and accessories seemed made for one another. They were all parts of a carefully designed and assembled composition. Or perhaps it was the performance of a song or an instrumental composition. All of the aspects of the performance seemed perfectly combined and in harmony with each other. In other words, the performance had unity.
The impression that different parts belong together is what the term unity refers to. Unity implies an orderly arrangement with no discord. Any instance of unity confirms hope for order in the world, and which pleases people.
To establish unity in interior decorating, a decorator must ensure that all parts of a room's decor appear to belong together. From the floor, walls, windows, fabrics, furniture, colours, lighting, and to accessories should all work together to achieve a unified whole. Here I brought the groups of wall hangings to show how the spaces between the pieces would create unity below:
The example on the left would be much appreciated and seems more comfortable look than the right as groupings of items properly spaced, and so it creates unity. To create a unified room, it needs to bring all elements of design-balance, scale, and emphasis-to achieve that seemingly effortless unity.
As my earlier post mentioned, The principles of Emphasis, contrast can create a focal point, it gives interest throughout a room, and maintain balance. The contrasts, however, should never be too strong or standing out of tune with the mood fot the rest of the room. Nor should all elements in a room be so similar to each other that the room becomes monotonous. Somewhere between these two extremes of discord and monotony is that middle ground, which is harmony. Harmony is what gives a feeling of oneness, or unity, to a room. A room with harmony can still have some variety-but it will be desirable variety, rather than unnecessary confusion.
More detail about Harmony to be continued in the next post.
