Investigation of the use of ceramic materials in the context of interior design principles

Today, ceramic materials are frequently used in residential interiors. Proper and/or improper use of this material can change the expression of the space. Ceramic, color, texture, size, surface, gives an identity to the space. By using ceramic in the most accurate way, the designer can produce a composition in accordance with the spirit and function of the space. Ceramic made of clay, marble-looking, wood-looking, stone-looking, may have different features such as. Variety of products – together with the developing technology creates a competitive environment in the ceramic industry. The adventure of ceramics starting with clay has survived to the present day. In our composition, we should use ceramics in the most accurate way. The effects of ceramics of different sizes and color textures are examined in this thesis with pictures. Light -colored ceramics make the space more spacious and spacious. Dark-colored ceramics, on the other hand, create a non-illuminating effect that narrows the space. Large-size ceramics are more holistic, small-size ceramics hava a more repetitive and tiring effect. Glossy ceramics hava a light reflective effect, whereas matt surface ceramics are preferred for their non-slip properties. Ceramic, which is not a natural material, has been preferred over some natural materials since it has a longer life and robust properties due to the materials in its structure. Correct use of ceramic in the composition is a requirement for design. In this thesis, the birth of ceramic material has been started and the process of ceramic in history has been mentioned. Taking the basic design principles into consideration, the ceramic samples were handled in a single annex, and the actual design of the customer samples and the design according to which the basic design principle was made were also replicated with the samples. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to how designers use ceramics in the context of basic design principles. Keywords: Ceramic coating, wet space design, interior design, basic design principles.
