visual harmony
Pleasing design coherence
Visual harmony describes the pleasing arrangement of elements in a design, artwork, or scene where colors, shapes, textures, and proportions work together cohesively.
When visual harmony is achieved, nothing feels jarring or out of place—the eye moves comfortably across the composition.
Designers and artists pursue visual harmony through techniques like color coordination, balanced spacing, and consistent styling.
The room's visual harmony came from repeating curved shapes in the furniture and artwork.
