Balance
When decorating, it is vitally important to take into consideration visually balancing a room to create a feeling of equilibrium and harmony. Whatever you decide to use in your decorating equation, your goal is to balance the look and create a sense of harmony with what is placed in the room.
Each object in a room carries a different weight (large objects carry more weight than small objects; bright and warm colors carry more weight than pale or cool colors; shiny objects carry more weight than dull or flat objects; rough textures carry more weight than smooth textures; a busy pattern carries more weight than a simple pattern, etc.) Your goal is to balance the visual weight in a room and colors, textures, patterns and objects are all part of the balance equation.
When deciding where to place an item, some questions you may want to ask are; What is the visual weight of the item? Where will the item look best? What will need to be placed to balance the item? There are two types of visual balance that are important when decorating; symmetrical balance and asymmetrical balance. It is ideal to have a variety of both symmetrical balance and asymmetrical balance within a room to give it more depth and interest.
