CONTRAST – THE OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGN TRICK IS FAMILIAR BUT NOT OUTDATED

What elements makeup space? The simplest, easiest to understand and easiest to see are ceilings, walls, floors, light, materials, and scents ..... Or even higher, emotions, spirits, and things that don't belong in the category. tangible, such as experience.

For PYRA Engineering, experience is the paramount value of creativity. So how is Contrast used to highlight the above elements? First of all, we need to understand the Definition of Contrast.

1. What is contrast?

Contrast can be seen as a basic principle of designers as well as architects. If you know how to apply it, contrast is like a secret weapon to attract all eyes to the overall space but still ensure continuity.

Sometimes, we are confused about the definition of Contrast. More specifically, we somehow limit ourselves to Contrast in the definitions we have been approached with. While in fact, Contrast can be understood and used in many different ways.

The contrast in interior design is not exactly the opposite, but rather a combination of two different elements, harmonizing contrasting features in colors, materials, design... to bring a sense of creativity. , well-organized for the project.

Contrast can be exploited in the following factors:

  • Color
  • Material
  • Shape
  • Dimensions
  • Textures

2. Effect brought by Contrast?

It can be roughly explained, that the effect brought by this technique is to put things that are opposite, opposite each other in the same space to stimulate visual appeal.

For example, put a rough thing next to a smooth thing, and the rough thing will become rougher, and the smooth thing will become smoother ( due to the comparison object right next to it ). It's contrasting material.

Similarly, a small, dark, cramped approach opens up to a spacious, airy space that will cause a sudden change in emotions. The contrast in size leads to contrast in space.

3. How to apply Contrast effectively?

Effective contrast application or not depends a lot on the sense and sophistication of the designer or architect. There are many ways to apply, but below, PYRA Engineering only gives a few basic suggestions to clarify this content. In interior design, Contrast is best expressed in color. In the color wheel, it is easy to choose two opposite and most impressive colors, which are black and white.

Warm-cold tones are also a bold choice. However, if you do not know how to control the intensity and quantity, the use of opposite tones inadvertently creates an uncomfortable feeling for the user.

On the contrary, if they know how to adjust, they can stimulate the eye and bring a break-out space but still ensure harmony. For those who are not ready for a space with high color contrast, a small tip is to add neutral colors that are soothing to the eye and create a pleasant atmosphere for the space.

As for the material, the contrasts are clear between natural materials and shiny metals, between rough materials and glossy painted surfaces. Materials such as aluminum, iron, or stainless steel are often used in the interior, highlighted by their rigidity and sharp feeling. Metallic luster when combined with natural materials like wood can create many unexpected effects. In addition, can also refer to the combination of stone with metals such as chromium and steel.

Conclusion

In short, applying the Contrast technique in space design is a way to create a separate and unique beauty for that space. However, it is necessary to know moderation so that this method can be effective as the name suggests, while still ensuring harmony and rationality for the space.

  1. If an office is cluttered, outdated, and poorly designed, customers and clients might think the same about the company. On the other hand, organized, pleasing, and well-thought-out design tells people about the brand, what it stands for, and its success, and promotes confidence in the business. In this regard, office interior design is similar to “dress for success.” Choose always trendy and high-quality Office chair and furniture products for your office to enhance your office environment.
