Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical Balance: Asymmetrical balance occurs when you have varied pieces of different sizes and shapes placed to create an equilibrium. For example, on a consul table, you may decide to place a decorative box in the middle and then place a lamp on one side and a vase of flowers on the other side. The vase of flowers will most likely be a different size and shape than the lamp, however the different sizing and shapes on each side of the decorative box balance each other and create the asymmetrical balance.
All elements and objects within a room are taken into consideration when balancing a room, and even a small accessory or plant can be used to bring balance. A large neutral colored painting can be balanced by a small, bright and colorful accessory. If you place a large sofa on one side of the room, you may want to balance it with another large sofa (or a loveseat with an occasional table) on the other side of the room.
Over a fireplace, you may decide to hang a fabulous piece of art and place a vase with flowers on one side of the mantel and a large candle holder with a bright candle on the other side. However, if you decided to place a large vase with flowers on one side of a fireplace mantel and nothing on the other side, this would look off balance and not create a sense of harmony. |
