Forms Third elements of interior design

 Form is the shape of the room, as well as any objects within the room. In other words, it relates to the physical form of anything that is three dimensional.

Forms can usually be described as either geometric or natural. Geometric refers to hard lines and square edges, often looking man-made, while natural relates to more organic forms that seem to be created by nature. Forms can also be open – objects that can be looked into or closed – self-contained. 

Another thing to take into consideration with form is the proportions and scale of the room compare to the objects being placed within it. Adding forms of similar shapes can create harmony and balance, while adding too many differing shapes can have a confusing result. A space is typically more pleasing if the dominant form is repeated in minor objects throughout the room.
