So today is Design Theory Day!
What exactly is design theory? you may ask
Design theory is the stuff interior designers, architects and decorators use in order to achieve the best look possible, using 'rules' and ideas that nearly always work. My goal for each Monday is to teach you how to use some of the design tricks for StrongerDesign in your own home!
Todays piece of Theory is something slightly mysterious sounding:

Todays piece of Theory is something slightly mysterious sounding:
The Designers Pyramid
The Designers pyramid is a 'typical' arrangement of anything from furniture to accessories in a specific formation that is both interesting to the eye but displays the items effectively and cohesively.
Different examples of the pyramid:
Above you can see the far more unusual Designers Pyramid (excuse my quick photoshopping) Rather than using accessories, the furniture itself forms the pyramid shape. Creating a far more interesting composition than having them in a straight line, allowing the eyes to start from the floor and spiral upwards to the top of the tall floor lamp.
The above pyramid is displayed in a simple scaling method - we've all seen this one hundreds of times. Like this one most pyramids toy with scale.
Next Monday we will look at colour theory, the rules to live by and the rules to be broken!
