You Spin Me Right 'Round Baby, Right 'Round...
As a design element, the circle can represent many things. Completion, nature, wholeness, and spirituality are just a few.
In architecture, the circle provides the most economical form of shelter. Round houses are used from the Arctic to the Equator.
Just ask Mr. Jefferson.
Imagine no dark corners for dust. And with proper window placement, you'll have continuous even light with no cast shadows. Furniture placement is only limited to your imagination.
Introducing circles to a room with accessories, lighting, or furniture, can significantly alter a space and up the drama quotient.
The next time you are going round and round with a design dilemma, consider the circle, it could be a revolution.

The circle. In some cultures it is even divine or is closely associated with divinity. I think this is why we love the shape. Great post and images. Thanks for the comment, great blog following you too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Post, Kathy. Don't forget circles are also hugs. The coolest thing in Ecuador were the round solstice windows--it gives you the shivers. I once designed a town house around x's and o's to show the love in the family. It was a fun little designy pun.
