Jones argues that ornament should be based on nature, geometry, and harmony, not imitation or excessive realism. He promotes flat pattern, clear structure, and disciplined use of color, believing ornament should enhance architecture and objects rather than dominate them. The work established design rules that strongly influenced modern design, architecture, and art education.  aFine Arts
