This week in interior design we learned about rhythm. Rhythm in interior design focuses the eyes on a path at a pace that is comfortable. Rhythm can be found in the repetition of color, texture, line, or furniture pieces. There are three types of rhythm found in interior design.
The first type of rhythm is radiation which can give a circular or sweeping movement.
 |
| The staircase in the room makes a circular movement giving the room rhythm. |
 |
| The repeated addition of the circular plates on the wall makes radial rhythm. |
The second type of rhythm is repetition which establishes rhythm through the repeated use of an object, color, or texture.
The repeated arches add rhythm to this joint.
 |
The repetition of the polka dots as well as the color pink and rhythm to this room.
|
The final type of rhythm is gradation which is gradual changes in lines, sizes, or colors.
 |
Gradation is shown by the three tables getting smaller as they go down.
|
 |
| The three candle holders change size which shows gradation. |
