    Which of the following do vertical lines primarily do?

    • Liven up a large area

    • Add height to a short room

    • Add space and width to an area

    Correct Answer
    A. Add height to a short room
    Explanation
    Vertical lines primarily add height to a short room. Vertical lines draw the eye upward, creating an illusion of height in a space. By using vertical lines in the form of tall furniture, curtains, or wall decorations, a short room can appear taller and more spacious.

    Large objects look smaller when placed in a large space.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because of the concept of relative size. When a large object is placed in a large space, it appears smaller in comparison to its surroundings. This is because the size of an object is perceived in relation to the size of its surroundings. So, when there is a larger space, the object's size appears relatively smaller.

    Complex patterns are nearly always suitable for a small room.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Complex patterns are not always suitable for a small room. Small rooms tend to have limited space, and complex patterns can make the space feel crowded and overwhelming. Simple and minimalistic patterns are often a better choice for small rooms as they create a sense of openness and make the room appear larger.

    Scale refers to the proportion or size of a piece of furniture as it relates to a room.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because scale in furniture refers to how the size of the furniture piece relates to the size of the room it is placed in. It is important to consider scale when choosing furniture to ensure that it fits well in the space and maintains a balanced and visually pleasing aesthetic.

    Colours affect how we see patterns.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Colours have a significant impact on how we perceive and interpret patterns. Different colors can create contrast, highlight certain elements, or blend together to form cohesive patterns. Our visual system is sensitive to colors and their variations, allowing us to distinguish patterns more easily. Therefore, it is true that colours affect how we see patterns.

    What is the outline of an object that defines the boundaries of positive and negative space?

    • Form

    • Function

    • Faces

    Correct Answer
    A. Form
    Explanation
    Form refers to the overall shape and structure of an object. In the context of this question, the outline of an object that defines the boundaries of positive and negative space is referring to the form of the object. The form of an object helps to distinguish between the object itself and the space surrounding it. It is the physical manifestation of the object and provides a clear visual representation of its boundaries. Therefore, form is the correct answer in this case.

    Texture has no effect on colour.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Texture does have an effect on color. Texture refers to the surface quality of an object, such as whether it is smooth or rough. Different textures can interact with light in different ways, affecting how we perceive the color of an object. For example, a smooth surface may reflect light differently than a rough surface, causing variations in color perception. Therefore, the statement that texture has no effect on color is false.

    As a general rule of thumb, the smaller the space, the larger the print of a pattern.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. The size of the print of a pattern does not depend on the size of the space. The size of the print can be adjusted independently of the space it occupies.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following can a room seem without a focal point? (Select 2)

    • Confusing

    • Exciting

    • Disorganised

    • Tidy

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Confusing
    A. Disorganised
    Explanation
    A room can seem confusing without a focal point because without a central point of interest, the eye may not know where to focus, resulting in a disorienting and perplexing experience. Additionally, a room can appear disorganized without a focal point because a focal point helps to anchor and structure the space, providing a sense of order and coherence.
