Design Thesis
An antique is an old, collectible and desired
item. It is treasured because of its age,
condition, utility, or other unique features it
may have. Usually it is an object that is
treasured by your family and is passed down
from generation to generation. Typically, the
piece will remind the owner of times past.
Antiques are usually objects which show some
degree of craftsmanship or display a certain
attention to design ,such as a piece of furniture
or an old lamp. This magazine will help you
learn how to incorporate antiques into your
home design.

ABOUT THE
EDITOR
My name is Rachel Garner
and I recently transferred from
Sandhills Community College
to East Carolina University.
Currently, my major is biology.
I live in an apartment at
Copper Beach in Greenville. I
grew up in a small town called
Robbins in North Carolina. In
the future, I wish to continue
being a biology major and then
apply to dental school. Many
of the photos you will see,
were taking in my mothers
home. I hope you enjoy this
magazine as much as I enjoyed
creating it.

Lines
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Curved
flowing

![Page 8: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Horizontal Lines
Horizontal lines
help create
strength and
solidity in an
object. These
types of lines
can be seen on
houses, mirrors,
bookshelves,
walls, and
furniture.
7
![Page 9: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Vertical lines
Vertical lines
normally provide a
feeling of height to
an object. They can
make an object or
house appear taller.
Vertical lines can be
seen in objects such
as drapes, pillows,
curtains, or
columns. The
strategic use of
vertical lines can
make a small room
appear much larger. 8

Curved Flowing Lines
Curved lines have a more graceful and
softer effect in a room compared to
horizontal and vertical lines. An example of
curved lines is perfectly displayed on this
Coca Cola box.
9
A curve is a line that sets
everything straight
![Page 11: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TEXTURE
• Tactile
• Reflective
• Unreflective
10
![Page 12: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tactile Texture
The word tactile refers to touch. Tactile
texture is the actual 3D feel of an object
or surface. For example, this pillow in the
right corner has a rough, beaded texture
to it. The rocks underneath the house
present a cool, smooth texture.
11
![Page 13: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reflective Texture
Reflective texture is noticed
when the light hits an object,
and it is reflected back.
You can see
that the light
coming from
this lamp is
being reflected
onto the wall
creating a
more subtle
light.
12
![Page 14: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Unreflective Texture
Unreflective texture can be found in chairs that
have cushions, carpets, rugs, quilts, and
tablecloths. They are unreflective because
these objects take in sunlight from windows
and lights rather than reflecting the light back.
The chair would be an example of an
unreflective texture.

![Page 15: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LIGHT
• Natural
• Track
• Task
14
![Page 16: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Natural Light
This is an
example of
natural light in a
home. There is
no need for
lamps or light
switches to be
turned on in the
day time
because the light
is shinning in
from the
window at
sunrise.
15
![Page 17: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Track Lighting
Track lighting
is used to
create extra
emphasis on
certain areas
of your home.
Track lighting
can be used
outside or
inside.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L4coNwInObo/TpSi6PfMwLI/AAAAAAAAFSQ/-YDSfHGCI8Y/s1600/assymet.jpg
16
This use of lighting has a
dramatic effect.
![Page 18: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Task Lighting
Task lighting is used when you need extra
light at a certain area. An example would be
a student needing a lamp at his/her desk to
work on. The lamp placed in this living
room is used for reading and other related
activities.
17
![Page 19: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
COLOR
• Monochromatic
• Complementary
• Analogous
18
![Page 20: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Monochromatic
Monochromatic
color schemes are
developed from a
single hue. The use
of one color can
create a harmonious
affect. This color
can vary and have
different levels of
intensity.
19
Monochromatic colors are
often enhanced by the use of
textures.
![Page 21: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Complementary
Complementary colors are normally the most
popular because they show off variety. When looking
at the color wheel, you can see which colors
complement each other. Complementary schemes
always contain a mixture of warm and cool colors. In
the bottom picture, you can see that the cool blue
colored lamp is combined with the warm colored red
room along with the red chair and brown furniture.

![Page 22: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Analogous Color Analogous color schemes are
produced from any segment of
colors that are adjacent but contain
no more than half of the colors on
the standard color wheel.
21
This rug uses few colors from the
color wheel and yet, the affect is
dramatic.
![Page 23: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SPACE
• Negative
• Positive
• Territorial
22
![Page 24: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Negative Space
This picture is an
example of
negative space.
Behind the chair
in this dining room
there is space that
is being unused.
The furniture
could be
rearranged
differently in order
to utilize the space
to its full potential.
23
![Page 25: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Positive Space
Positive space is being purposeful in the
way you arrange your furniture and
belongings.
You can see in the picture below that this
rooms is arranged so that the space is
positive. There is plenty of room to walk
and the space in the room is being used
properly.
24
![Page 26: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Territorial Space
Territorial place
is a space that is
private. An
example of
territorial space
would be your
bedroom. You
go to your
bedroom to relax
and spend time
to yourself. It is
your room and
your room
alone.
25
![Page 27: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Abstract
Abstract is a type of decorative design
modified so that the subject may not be
recognizable
An example would be the
design over this bed
27
http://emkandassociates.com/galleries/rosenbaum-fine-art/
![Page 29: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Natural
Natural shapes applies to curved
lines that create flow. The curve
shapes give the object a more
natural look.
An example
would be these
old antique
wooden chairs.
You can see how
the curved lines
make the chair
flow together and
connects it
together nicely.

Dynamic
With dynamic shapes, movement is
often shown. It directs your eye and
leads you around the object.
29
![Page 31: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Natural Form
This antique checkers table is
an perfect example of natural
form. The wood is individual
pieces formed together to make
a dynamic piece. 31
![Page 33: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Geometrical Form
Geometric forms are mostly squares,
circles, and triangles. These shapes
catch the eye instantly and have three
dimensions. This wrought iron
antique chair is a perfect example of
geometrical shapes.
32

BALANCE
• Visual Symmetry
• Visual Asymmetry
• Visual Radial
Symmetry
• Structural Symmetry
34
![Page 36: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Visual Symmetry
The placement of the identical cabinets beside
of the entertainment center is an example of
visual symmetry. The arrangement of the
combined pieces brings balance and a sense of
formality to the room.
When identical objects are arranged
equally on each side of an imaginary
line visual symmetry is achieved.
35
![Page 37: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Visual Asymmetry
The collection of the antique jars filled
with buttons is enhanced when the chest
is added to the display.
Visual asymmetry is the point at which
different items are placed and the balance
is sensed by the individual.
36
![Page 38: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Radial Symmetry
All of the designs radiate from the
central star of the quilt. The design is
visually pleasing and adds interest
which keeps the eye moving.
In radial balance, all elements of the
design radiate from a center point.
37
![Page 39: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Structural Symmetry
The rock wall is an example of
structural design using material to
create structural interest and purpose.
By placing the rocks in purposeful
patterns, a strong structure is formed
that is functional in the landscape
design.

![Page 40: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
HARMONY
• Unity through line
• Variety through
furniture
• Unity through
repetition
• Variety through color
• Variety through
modern in contrast to
old
• Unity through color 39
![Page 41: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Unity through line The use of the curtains and windows in the
sitting room is an example of unity through
line.
The vertical lines created by the
drapes add height to the room and
add width to the space, thus,
unifying the room 40
![Page 42: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Variety through
furniture The use of an unexpected piece of
furniture can greatly change the feel of a
room. The wicker chest, used as a
coffee table, adds personality and style
that an average coffee table might lack
41
![Page 43: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Unity through
repetition
The repetition
use of white
cabinets adds
unity to the
space with this
setting room.
The eye moves
effortlessly due
to the flow of
white repeated
in the room
42
![Page 44: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Variety through
color
Rooms can
often be
punched up a
notch with the
use of color. A
fun print can
add interest
and a bit of
hidden
personality to a
space
43
![Page 45: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Modern in
contrast to old
The combination of
antique and modern
furniture can be
achieved with ease.
The claw foot bathtub
is a timeless piece
that is complimented
by the modern
variety. The pairing
works well to achieve
a classic look that is
appealing.
44
![Page 46: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Unity through
color Color can have a visual, dramatic affect on a
room. The use of red draws the eye through
the room and creates a pleasing flow. The
pottery, lamp, and quilt unifies the appeal with
the use of color.
45
![Page 47: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Visual Focal Point
The bed is the visual focal point in the
bedroom. The wrought iron design draws
the eye immediately when the room is
entered. Features of the bed create a
strong visual focal point.
A visual focal point is an area
that instantly draws your eye.
47
![Page 49: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Structural Focal
Point
The fireplace is
great example of a
structural focal
point. The eye
immediately drawn
to the rock and
mantle of the fire
place. The
structure demands
attention.

Optical Density
The use of
planters can
create an
illusion. The
white plant
stand creates the
illusion of stone
but, in reality,
the plant stand
is made of
plastic.
50
![Page 52: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Actual Density
The use of
rectangular pieces
adjoined creates a
pleasing affect in
the hardwood
floor. The mass of
wood creates a
flow that appears
seamless and thin.
In reality, thick
pieces of wood
were adjoined to
create a mass
appeal. 51
![Page 53: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
RHYTHM

Repetitive
The green colors in the kitchen are
repetitive and create a pleasing
environment. Through careful
placement of green bowls, tins, and
pottery, the overall feel is harmonious
and calm.
53
![Page 55: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Contrast
Contrast occurs
when the eye
moves due to
color change,
texture, or
shape.
The utility room is
an example of
contrast. The white
appliances bounce
off the bold wall
color. The red walls
are also a contrast to
the rock flooring.
54
![Page 56: Final project](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020308/568bf2a51a28ab8933976474/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Climatic
Climatic
repetition
draws the eye
upward or
downward.
This southern home with the vertical
columns of the porch draws the eye
upward to the small window on the top of

Object in proportion
with space Proportion is the relationship of an
object to the size of its surroundings
The side chairs are in proportion to the
fireplace. The art above the fireplace is in
the same scale. The objects are properly
scaled and the room looks well designed.
