Enhance Background Elements
Even when you've meticulously refined your typographic hierarchy, spatial relationships, and textual elements, occasionally an interface may still convey a sense of visual uniformity or understatement.
An effective strategy for disrupting this monotony without fundamentally altering your design architecture involves introducing visual interest to selected background elements.
Transform Background Coloration
One straightforward approach to invigorate a background involves modifying its chromatic properties.
This technique proves particularly effective for accentuating individual interface components, as well as for establishing visual differentiation between distinct content sections.
For interfaces requiring heightened visual dynamism, consider implementing subtle gradient transitions:
For optimal aesthetic results, select hues positioned no more than approximately 30° apart on the color wheel.
Implement Repeating Patterns
Another sophisticated approach involves incorporating subtle repeatable patterns, such as this example from the Hero Patterns collection:
