Shape and Emphasis

This is such an elegant and sophisticated living space with french accents, and the colour combinations of mostly black, white and shades of pink are simple, feminine, and effective. The first thing I noticed about this living room is the black and white striped curtains with the black window frames, and how the white furniture (including the light fitting) opens up the small space, giving the illusion it is larger than it is. The curtains are the focal point, creating perspective and adding emphasis. Their placement is extremly important as the shape of the windows and curtains (rectangular) enables the viewer to be draw in to the illusion of the "larger" room. The curtains and frames help draw the idea of space and perspective back into the room.

 The light coloured furniture lightens the room, and the shapes used throughout the space is very unique. Fitting black furniture in would have the total opposite effect and close up the room entirely. The various shapes used throughout the space adds onto the aesthetic value which creates this emphasis on each individual product placement and effect is produces within the interior.
