Design-any arrangements of the different elements of design to create order & beauty.
Principles of Design:

b)Informal balance-different objects & decorations on both sides of the room.
2.Rhythm-it suggests movements.
Achieved by:
a)Repetiti0n-repeated lines,colors,shapes on the designs of the different objects.
b)Progression-transition like increasing & decreasing on sizes,shapes,color, & textures of objects
in the room.
c)Circular or continous line movement.
3.Harmony-unity & continuity through the selection & arrangements of objects or ideas,colors or shapes.
4.Proportion-relationship of 1 part of the room to another part or to the whole area.
5.Emphasis-also called "The Center of Interest" in a design.
