We share secrets, how and where to use the ornament in the design, so that it looks spectacular and harmonious.
1 on one surface

The ornament is able to be wonderfully allocate whole surfaces: wall, floor or ceiling can serve as you "canvas" for creativity. But since any pattern significantly affects the visual load of the interior, use it to design only one of these surfaces. The rest for the balance should be made laconic.
2 with repetition
Interior Design: Set The Stage
At the heart of any ornament, a certain rhythm is laid, alternating elements, which serves as the basis for building a harmonious composition. Wonderful if such a repetition is originally present in the figure, there will be more globally - all over the interior. A good option is a series of identical curtains with ornament or patterned lace, located at an equal distance from each other.
3 ornament from one culture

The concept of rhythm associative resembles a melody: just like notes, patterns must be properly picking up for harmonious "sound" them in the interior. And it is also easy to get a "asophony" from rhythms and lines, which only overloads the space. There are no strict rules in this regard, but there is a win-win version - use in the interior patterns of only one culture or region: as a rule, they are combined harmoniously.
4 ornament of one topic

If it is difficult to determine the place of origin of a particular ornament or you consciously would not like to go into some other culture, draw inspiration from one stylistry, forms. Conditionally, all ornaments can be divided into three groups: botanical (with flowers, plants and fruits), animalistic (with animals) and geometric (with any figures), and, if you are afraid to guess, it is better to start with a combination of patterns from one group.
5 odd number
Interior Design: For People Design
The combination of an odd number of drawings looks better than pair ornaments. If you are going to play with prints, we advise you to start with three different options that differ in size. When you master the "Rule of Three", try to increase the skill and experiment with five patterns.

Do not be afraid to use ornaments of different sizes, but remember that they should also harmonize with each other. To do this, remember the "Rule of Three" and select one large pattern, the other - the middle, and the third is small. In this case, it is appropriate to combine ornaments from different groups and different sizes.
7 in interior colors

If you have the most important pattern, it should be large and bright, as well as turn on the colors from the color scheme of your interior. By selecting the main drawing, make a search for medium, which will be twice as smaller. This pattern should also include several colors of the color gamma. In turn, a small drawing may include no more than two or three colors of the interior scheme.
8 on the tile

One of the most win-win and spectacular ways to add an ornament to the interior - buy a beautiful tile with a pattern. For example, the art of Maitolika is highly appreciated - this type of ceramics, which is made of burnt clay with painting with a bright glaze. The tiles performed in this technique are often used to design facades of furnaces, fireplaces, as well as kitchen apron.
