☼ types of rhythm

Today in Interior Design, we learned about the types of rhythm a room can have. There are three main types and down below I will be putting two examples of each, as well as explaining what elements of rhythm are in each.

Repetition

In this picture, you can see the repetition of a certain floral pattern, as well as the colors yellow and grey.

You can see in this example, the repetition is the flooring and overall shape of the squares. Not only that, but the olive and green tones are repeated as well.

Radiation

For this dining area, the rhythm is focused on radiation, and you can see that because of the circular table and the placement of the chairs around it. Because of the shape, it draws your attention immediately to the center of the room.

This other example is even more obvious for the radiation rhythm. The ceiling, floor design, table, and the chair placement all curve around and draw your eyes towards the overall vibe of circles.

Gradation

Gradation usually focuses on the colors of a room, and how they blend together well with the softs and darks. I believe this portion of a kitchen area displays this well with all the different greens.

This children's  room uses gradation with all the pinks around the small space, such as the soft pink walls blending down to the darker hot pink of the bed.
