Patterns can be easily emphasised by using colour banding or size or orientation changes. When creating patterns or shapes time needs to be given to how the elements fit together as the longevity for any scheme comes from the details.

 

Patterns can visually break up large expanses of paving, adding interest and playfulness to flat surfaces. The juxtaposition of soft, flowing curves and straight regimented lines can lend personality to otherwise bland areas.

 

Configuring a regular and intelligible form or sequence, pattern and composition can successfully emphasize specific areas within the built space, enabling the eye to interpret structures and planes. Pattern works to create a repeated decorative design that acts to break up shapes or large areas of space, creating interest and enhancing landscape design.
