Some
of the common theme names we have heard are
1) Contemporary theme
2) Oriental theme
3) Country theme
etc..So a theme includes elements of decorating
that are responsible for a drastic change in any given interior space.
What these elements can be? A theme might include colors, finishes,
textures, specific shapes to be used, budget restrictions, or even a
material of only by a particular manufacturer.
Such a group of design elements when combined together
gives birth to a "theme". It is perfectly possible to add, delete,
modify, alter, replace any one or all the elements in this theme. It all
depends on what you like/dislike.
For example If I say that a "contemporary design
theme" does nor or should not include a specific color for ceiling in
the living room, you have total right to modify the above statement and
make your own depending upon what you like/dislike. SO any design theme
is always evolving and you can use "creativity" to give birth to new
themes.
But what about the themes that are already existing?
1) Contemporary design theme:
In these type of designs much emphasis is given on
"simplicity" and straight lines and forms. this type theme says that a
square in it self is a beautiful and "balanced" entity hence most design
elements in this theme are simple forms made of straight lines.
Also plain colors with their shades are used to create
a "play" of light and shadows.
2) Oriental design theme:
In these type of design majority of surfaces are
treated for "relief work" such as textured plasters with heavy
decorating, wallpapers, with decorating prints of natural elements such
as leaves, flowers, scenery. Surfaces are treated as a way of
expression.
3) Country design theme:
