Which do you prefer symmetrical or asymmetrical design?
Balance is the even distribution of weight in a space. Balance is essential for a well-designed space. Two ways to achieve balance is through a symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement.
In a symmetrical arrangement one side of the room mirrors the other side. The same furnishings are used on each side of the room.
Asymmetrical arrangements are often times a little trickier to achieve. The furnishings on each side of the room are different but the visual weight is still distributed evenly.
How cool is this asymmetrical design?

Which type of arrangement are you most drawn to?
There is one other way to achieve balance in a room through radial balance. I'll leave that for another post:)

I have to admit, I am a symmetrical girl all the way! I can appreciate asymmetrical design, but my rooms almost always have a symmetrical layout.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about symmetrical. I don't have the money or the floor plan to achieve it in my home right now, but that's what I love. :)
ReplyDeleteI am typically drawn to symmetrical balance when looking through magazines and things but I always tend to design with asymmetrical balance in my spaces. I LOVE the look of symmetrical but love the somewhat casual feeling that asymmetrical balance offers. Soooo I vote... BOTH!
