101: Symmetry That's Not Static

Good design requires balancing visual weight in a room; while it's achievable with unmatched furniture, lots of people prefer the calm of similar pieces. The trick is to keep the look and feel vibrant, not frozen... some successes below, and why they work...

The two benches keep this from being static

Imagine how different if the art was small-scale - yikes

Vibrant color on the wing chairs provide a middle-ground in this small space

It's the details that elevate what could have been just a 'study in beige'

Super cute and functional built-ins for a little girl's room

Color and form make this vignette a focal point

This much color and pattern needs the restraint of symmetrical placement

Lots of white keep patterns from overwhelming this small space

So pretty...

The tangerine lacquered ceiling is a wow - love the painted floor, too

The round table and large vases inject life in this room

Fabulous architectural elements keep this from being too serene
