Vertical Line - Room Look for lines that lead the eye up, adding height, formality, and strength to a design. • Tall Furniture • Columns • Pillars • Striped Wall Paper • Long, Narrow Draperies Vertical lines can make rooms seem more spacious than they actually are and ceilings appear higher.
Horizontal Line - Room Horizontal lines lead the eye to the left or right, suggesting informality and restfulness. • Long, Low Furniture Pieces • Horizontal Lines Going Around the Room Horizontal lines can make buildings, rooms, and furniture seem wider and shorter.
Diagonal Line - Room Diagonal lines suggest action, movement and excitement. • Staircases • Cathedral Ceilings Since diagonal lines can be overpowering and tiring, they should be used sparingly in design.
Curved Line - Room Curved lines add a softening, graceful effect to designs. • Doorway Arches • Ruffled Curtains • Curved Furniture • Rounded Accessories Remember, too many curved lines create a busy look.
