From the Publisher
ANCHORING- THE USE OF AN ELEMENT TO GROUND A SPACE
An anchoring element is an object or surface that can be the catalyst for the design of a room or a series of connected spaces. By having an outsized impact on the overall composition, the anchor element provides cues around which other design decisions can be further developed.
TONE- THE CHARACTER OR QUALITY OF A SPACE
Designers use tone to create a dominant mood in a space, which is also related to a project’s color scheme. Tone can also aid in developing the character of a project, and influencing the psychology of the inhabitants of the space. In color theory terms, tone is defined as the mix of tint (white) and shade (black), and is understood as the lightness or brightness of a color.
SHAPE- AN AREA DEFINED BY THE OUTLINE OF AN OBJECT
Shape can be explored in an interior as a three-dimensional strategy. By careful examination of the architecture and volume of the space, the placement or arrangement of furniture can shape the perception of how it is to be used. Through the actual contours of furniture, lighting, and elements in a space, shapes bring focus and attention to a particular object or shape through two-dimensional patterning on textiles, wall tiles, flooring, or drapery.
