BALANCE<\/p>\n

Balance is a constant\u00a0in our everyday lives. One of the most relatable examples is the ongoing struggle to balance life between work and leisure. Similar to\u00a0when we are off balance in various aspects of our lives, an unbalanced interior space can be uncomfortable. Balance is achieved by distributing the visual weight of objects within a space to achieve a feeling of equilibrium. \u00a0The size, shape, color and texture have a major impact on the visual weight of a particular item. Larger, darker, brighter and highly textured objects typically feel heavier.<\/p>\n

Balance can be achieved in three ways: symmetrically, asymmetrically and radially.<\/p>\n

SYMMETRICAL BALANCE<\/p>\n

Symmetrical balance\u00a0is achieved by arranging elements on either side of the center of a composition in an equally weighted manner. Symmetrical balance can be thought of as 50\/50 balance or like a mirror image.\"bathroom<\/a><\/p>\n

ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE<\/p>\n

In asymmetrical balance, the two sides are not identical, but differ from one another. However, the elements are arranged so that there is a sense of balance.\"asymmetrical<\/p>\n

RADIAL BALANCE<\/p>\n

Radial balance is a visual balance based on a circle with its design extending from center.\"breakfast<\/a><\/p>\n
