What are the key points of space design?

The overall design of a space should align with its intended use, its functional requirements, and the psychological needs of its users. Seven points matter most:

1. Colour — rationally use colour contrast and harmony. A unified interior tone, varied yet consistent, can achieve the strongest effect; the right scale of colour depends on each function.
2. Modelling — form is fundamental to space and expresses the designer's aesthetic. Modern interiors increasingly emphasise innovation in shape, treated artistically and technically.
3. Size — public activity spaces should be larger; rest areas can be smaller; service spaces as compact as practical. Mind the proportional relationships and transitions between sections.
4. Hierarchy — distinguish primary from secondary. Highlight the main wall and key display surfaces; keep auxiliary parts simpler so they don't overshadow the focus or create a sense of chaos.
5. Decoration — once functional needs are met, decoration (lighting, wall finishes, furniture) can be used to enhance atmosphere and beautify the environment.
6. Proportion — one of the key factors of beauty: the ratio of length, width and height. Aim for harmony, variation, accuracy, balance, flexibility and rhythm.
7. Atmosphere — the comprehensive sensory and psychological experience people perceive, determined by the external features of the space and its interior decoration and layout.
