Symmetry in decorating

Most successful and elegant interiors keep accessories to a minimum.  An emphasis on using objects in pairs lends itself to a formal feel in a room.

I like to use lighting in pairs; lamps, wall sconces and chandeliers.  Wall art and mirrors arranged in balanced symmetry.  Accessories can include, still life paintings mixed with vintage prints, bronze sculptures, silver candlesticks and framed personal momentos.  Collections look good grouped together and have more impact that way, rather than fragmented around a room.

The bedroom is a great place to showcase symmetry.  See the images below; pairs of cushions coupled with pairs of mirrors and pairs of lamps.  Try it you might like it!
