Proportion In Design. Proportion is a central principle of architectural theory and an important connection between mathematics and art. These relationships are often governed by multiples of a standard unit of length known as a module.
It is commonly found in nature and when used in a design it fosters organic and natural-looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Proportion in interior design refers to the balance between design elements such as shape color and texture. Proportion is an understanding of the scale of specific design elements on a single object.
They are all designed using the Golden Ratio.
Proportion in design is harmony that pleases the eye. The proper application of proportion is to devise the most pleasing relationship of one part of an object to another part. An eye should be smaller than a face for instance and a males shoulders should be wider than his hips. It is the visual effect of the relationships of the various objects and spaces that make up a structure to one another and to the whole.
