PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL

"The imprecise sense of harmonious or aesthetically pleasing proportionality and balance, in that it reflects beauty of perfection."

So often we seek a symmetrical arrangement as it serves the specific purpose of creating equilibrium. Many automatically gravitate toward a symmetrical arrangement in architecture, interior design and landscape in that it reflects our need to achieve a balance in our lives as well as our environments...

  1. Ohh Beth, what a lovely selection! Allow me to first swoon and then choose some of my favourites: the first two, the one with the skirted round table by Alessandra Branca and the Booth & McAlpine dining nook.

  2. What a beautiful collection of images. Symmetry and balance make for such calming environments. It is the details that make this type of composition dynamic, as evidenced by these gorgeous spaces.

  4. Oh my just love these looks, I will be moving and have been so attached to antiques, afraid to let them go-realizing I will never recover what I have put into them, your images have inspired me to let them go and look forward to future treasures and all the wonders that exist! Thank you!
