a psychological effect on a room.

relationship with the earth,and offers a sense of
tranquility.

many horizontal lines may become boring and lack
interest.

same effect.

VERTICAL LINES:
• Vertical lines lift the eye, mind and the spirit
upwards. They convey strength, stability and security.
• They inspire awe and tend to diminish the
significance of human scale.(this is why historical
churches have always used vertical lines to lift eyes
heavenward.)

and formal living areas.

uneasiness or confinement.

LINES:

movement,energy,and
action.there is always sumthing

,particularly n the wall can be
overstimulating and tiresome.

that proceed by sharp
urns in alternating

energy, life, and
excitement to an interior.

might make viewers feel
distraught or agitated.

room, suggesting graceful movement.

LINES:

irregular curved lines
that move gently in a
random manner.
