Contrast is an important element in creating harmony in residential design as it allows for the differentiation of colors, textures, and shapes while maintaining an overall cohesive look. By providing an intentional contrast between different elements like light and dark, warm and cool colors, rough and smooth textures, and angular and curved shapes, contrast creates a sense of balance and visual interest in a space. These contrasts can be used to create focal points and emphasize the unique features of a home or create a sense of flow and continuity throughout the space. In short, through the proper use of contrast, harmony can be easily created in residential design.
