This balance isachieved by placing objects with varying characteristics in places where theycompliment one another. The idea is to create relationships between yourpossessions, in order to develop a whole; which is more impressive than the sumof its parts.

Scale refers to the size of architectural featuresand furnishings within a space. With scale, finding a balance is particularlyimportant, otherwise, you will get a room that feels chaotic, and lookspeculiar.

Today, we will look at balanced rooms that include: living rooms, diningrooms, bedrooms and even the kitchen should be balanced.
And remember always: "less is more."
