Symmetrical Balance
Symmetrical Balance: Symmetrical balance is achieved when two identical items are placed on two opposite sides of an imaginary line. For example, placing identical matching candle holders on each side of a fireplace mantel creates a symmetrical balance (which is also considered a formal balance). In the picture above, the sofas, tables and accessories are symmetrical.
As mentioned, besides shape and size, you will also need to balance colors, textures and patterns throughout the space to create harmony. For example, if one side of your room is totally decorated in red cotton upholstered furnishings while the other side is in gold striped silk, the room will look out of harmony (and out of balance), however, if you mix these colors and fabrics and bring some complimenting patterns and/or colors (possibly by scattering decorative cushions on each side) you can balance the look.
