Balance
Having a good sense of balance in a space provides harmony and visual stability in your room. Balance applies to the smallest details like how to decorate a bookshelf, and to the bigger projects like kitchen remodeling, renovations, and custom home interior design. A well-balanced room will have a sense of equality across the elements, with no single component dominating the space. There are three types of balance that establish any interior design concept:
Symmetrical Balance
Symmetrical balance is a straightforward way to create balance. This method entails dividing your space into two equal parts and making sure that they reflect each other. For example, a bedroom with a bed in the center and two identical nightstands on either side utilizes symmetrical balance.
Asymmetrical Balance
Asymmetrical balance is a contrasting alternative to symmetrical balance. Different shapes and sizes can be used in your space while still looking balanced and cohesive. For example, rather than having two identical sofas on each side of a living room, a sofa and an armchair can be used instead to create a visually interesting contrast between sizes.
Radial Balance
For a more complex approach to balance, radial balance utilizes a focal point in the center of the design and creates a circular effect with the way the other components are arranged around it. The focal point can be anything from a fireplace to a chandelier. This style of radial balance draws the eye to the center of the room where the focal point is located.
