Have you ever noticed how some rooms just feel good? And how others, no matter how tastefully decorated, seem lacking? More than likely, it’s a question of Balance. Each room in your home has a visual balance point, both horizontally and vertically. The right design finds that point and puts your room in equilibrium by orienting color, furniture and form around it.

	Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial. In most rooms they are applied together. Here the lamps, pictures and even the throw pillows emphasize symmetry.
	Pattern, style and color are carefully blended around the dark woods of the bed frame to create a visual balance on the vertical axis.
	The separate placement of the easy chair and ottoman are an example of asymmetrical balance. By setting them apart, visual depth is created and radial balance is achieved.
