Harmony Variety and Unity HGTV What elements and principles are present?
UNITY • Occurs when all the parts of a home or room are related by one idea through similar characteristics and/or consistency of style. • Furniture and accessories with curved lines
Unity among the design elements = harmonious design • Unity is NOT to be confused with sameness, it is using just enough variety to keep the room from being monotonous and predictable. • A lack of unity may make a small home seem even smaller.
VARIETY • Done outside of the unified theme to create relief from sameness by combining different (compatible) styles and materials. • Variety adds interest to a design. • Carrying variety too far creates confusion and conflict. • Using different decorative style in each room. • Victorian and southwestern decor
HARMONY • Is achieved when unity and variety are effectively combined. • Bear rug and knotty pine • Marble and crystal • Modern home with clean simple lines and shapes
