Microsoft Design Principles refer to the guiding philosophies behind Microsoft's design systems, most notably the Fluent Design System, which emphasize consistency, accessibility, depth, and motion across Microsoft's products. They are used by Microsoft's own product teams and by third-party developers building apps for Windows or Microsoft 365 to create cohesive, intuitive user interfaces. The principles cover elements like light, depth, motion, material, and scale to guide visual and interaction design decisions.
