The  addi(on  of  flowers  to  a  home  is  a  good  touch  of  radial  symmetry.  However  having  fresh  flowers  can  be  a  pain  to  keep  up  wit.  There  are  many  crea(ve  ways  to  add  flowers  to  your  home  without  actually  adding  flowers  to  your  home.  

Balance

Let  your  crea(ve  juices  flow!  34  

Page 3: Principles and Elements of Design

Most  people  like  things  to  be  symmetrical  however  asymmetry  can  add  a  nice  touch  to  a  southern  home.  Many  things  aren’t  symmetrical  and  that  can  be  a  good  thing.  Its  hard  to  make  everything  symmetrical  so  embrace  asymmetry.  It  is  becoming  more  and  more  popular.    

To  accomplish  asymmetrical  balance  in  your  home  you  can  place  different  objects  at  varying  distances  from  the  center  point.

Harmony

The  unity  of  the  lines  in  the  carpet  complete  the  room  and  turns  a  boring  southern  room  into  an  exci(ng  one.  Be  careful  not  to  add  too  many  lines  though  because  in  can  end  up  being  chao(c  and  overwhelming.  

Without  the  repe((ve    lines  in  the  carpet  the  love  seat  and  the  two  sofas  would  appear  boring  but  the  uniqueness  of  the  carpet  helps  (e  the  whole  room  together.

The  unity  of  color  can  be  seen  in  the  light  blues  seen  in  each  of  the  pieces  of  furniture  and  and  in  the  rug.  It  may  be  hard  to  see  in  the  above  

picture,  however  the  unifying  color  is  the  baby  blue.  Adding  the  unity  of  color,  especially  the  light  blue  can  make  a  southern  home  that  much  

more  elegant.        

Without  the  unity  of  the  baby  blue  the  room  may  not  mesh  well!

Variety  though  materials  as  seen  in  the  picture  above  is  a  great  way  to  spice  up  a  southern  home  and  can  add  contrast  which  can  make  a  room  exci(ng.  There  is  wood  and  glass  in  the  center  table,  The  candle  s(ck  holder  is  made  of  metal,  and  the  couch  is  

made  of  some  cloth  material.    

Variety  can  be  easy  to  add  to  any  home,  variety  is  everywhere,  and  oKen  goes  unno(ced  but  when  materials  are  combined  correctly  it  can  make  home  unique.

The  unity  through  lines  is  apparent  in  the  dining  room  set.  This  dining  room  set  is  a  liLle  less  formal  and  would  look  very  nice  in  a  typical,  everyday  ea(ng  area.  The  horizontal  and  ver(cal  lines  are  present  in  the  chairs  and  table.  The  lines  help  bring  together  the  

en(re  set.    

EDITOR’S  NOTE:  Add  a  beau(ful  flower  arrangement  to  the  table  to  add  contrast  from  all  the  straight  lines
