Principles of Design: Rhythm

This week in interior design we learned about rhythm, one of the principles of design.
                             
Repetition type Rhythm uses repetitive use of an element to establish rhythm. This image shows repetition type Rhythm by the slots in the ceiling and wall.
                                                       
This image shows repetitive rhythm using the many columns.
Radiation type Rhythm gives a circular, sweeping type of rhythm.
                             
This room shows Radiation rhythm in the arrangement of the furniture, the table in the middle being the center.
                             
This picture shows radiation rhythm with the circular placement of the chairs around the table, and the decoration on the wall, as well as the bowl in the middle of the table being very radiant itself.

Gradation Rhythm is the use of a change in size of objects from large to small, or a change in color from light to dark.
                             
This dresser shows gradation rhythm by using a color change from light to dark.
