II. What are some basic pieces of knowledge about Interior design in Vietnam?

Interior design in Vietnam is a companion or an important role that can’t be separated into beautiful living spaces or working environments. 

Although an architectural work has a grandiose and unique scale, the design doesn’t match aesthetically. It becomes uncompleted work, or beautiful architecture with inappropriate interiors can also cause difficulties for customers. So there is some basic knowledge you have to remember when designing interior as follows:

1. Research about house plan blueprint

When beginning interior design, the first thing to do is carefully analyze the blueprint of the house. Depending on the design unit, there are many different ways of drawing houses, such as flow, vertical, and sectional.

Through the drawings, owners can understand the space’s division to find an appropriate interior.

2. Law of balance

The law of balance consists of height, width, space structure, light, and colour. If the house is coordinated with each other, it can create unity and harmony. 

There are three laws in balance law such as symmetry, asymmetry, and cent-symmetry.

3. Law of Harmony

The law of harmony in interior design is the collection of elements such as shape, size, style, color, or material… This can create harmony with the owner’s expression. 

4. Law of Contrast

In art and interior design in Vietnam, the law of contrast occurs when there are two or more different, opposing elements. There are many types of contrasts such as:

• Color: Hot – cold
• Material: Smooth – rough
• Shape: Square – round
• Cubes: Big – small, solid – hollow
• Line: Straight-curved
• Space: Wide – narrow

5.  Laws of Rhythm

Rhythm is a repeating rule of many images through the overlap of colours, layouts, and styles. And the law of rhythm is a combination of three factors: objects, ranges of objects, and continuity.

6. Law of Emphasis

In Interior design in Vietnam, the law of emphasis is very familiar and widely applied. The emphasis is creating a focal point, attracting attention, and focusing on the space through arrangement, color scheme, and decorative accessories. All of them can highlight the unique and separate furniture. 

Surely everyone wants their room to be unique. So applying the rule is the best choice. However, you should avoid too many accents, it can cause confusion and boredom. You need to use

7. Law of proportions

The law of proportions reflects the furniture’s size in the overall composition of the architecture. With the right proportions, your house or room will become more airy, harmonious, and attractive. The 1/3 ratio is considered a “golden” ratio, most commonly used when designing and decorating interiors.

IV. Some notes in interior design in Vietnam

Pay attention to the area and layout

When designing interior projects, architects often pay attention to customer’s requirements and the house’s area. This can help the architect come up with the most reasonable design.

If you have a large area, the house layout is reasonable, you can choose almost all design styles. However, if the area is small, you should make a balance among furniture, decorations, and design style. If you ignore this attention, the design will not have a reasonable layout and a beautiful interior design.

Pay attention to design style 

Choosing a design style in interior design will create uniformity in colors and materials in layout and space arrangement. If you choose a modern design style, you will use bright colors in paint and furniture with appropriate accents. You can not use ancient patterns and textures in the design. On the contrary, all furniture and colours will have a rustic and simple look in the ancient style. You don’t combine a sofa with vibrant colors. 

In addition, you should also know how to arrange furniture to best suit the user’s purpose and overall interior.  Interior design in the living room is indispensable for sofas, tables, TV shelves, and decorations. But you should arrange them to optimize the space.
