2. The element of design here is making a large space appear to look smaller. The object in this room that shows this element of design is the color of the walls. To avoid having this room appear too big, this homeowner chose a dark shade of blue to paint their walls. If a room has a lot of light, it will appear larger. However, this dark color reflects less light, which makes the room appear smaller.
4. The element of design here is light apparent weight. The object in this picture that shows this element of design is the couch.

Also, the accent lines are the same and they are split by the windows, so they are symmetrical.
9. The element of design here is asymmetrical balance. The objects that show this element are the television, and the fireplace. This is because they are two completely different things. However, because they are both the same shade of black, they appear to have the same weight. They are also separated by a space of white, which would be the central point.
10. The element of design here is rhythm by radiation. The object that shows this element is the curve of the wall, and the curtains.

11. The element of design here is rhythm by repetition. The objects that show this element are the curtains, the lamps, and the chairs. In this image, the most repetition comes from the curtains, as there are five of them. However, because there are two lamps that are the same and two chairs that are the same, they are adding to the repetition in the room.
1. The element of design here is making a small space appear to look larger. The objects that show this element of design are the cabinets, the wall color, and the hardwood floor. The cabinets and the wall color is white, which is a light shade that creates depth in a room. Because it is a smaller space, you want to have depth to make it seem larger. Also, from this angle, the lines on the floor are vertical. Vertical lines draw your eyes upward, which makes the floor seem that it is longer than it actually is. This is very useful in this space.
