Yvonne, As always you on right on target when you talk about trusting our eyes when trying to get scale and proportion correct. I had a newly purchased lantern which I place on a cabinet using the rule of three with two objects on one side and the lantern on the other. I wasn’t happy with the placement and finally after leaving it for a couple of days I,realized the lantern was too big. Moved it to out on my front porch and it is perfect and placed a smaller object on the cabinet. Thankyou for reminding me to always change things around till our eyes are happy!
I love the phrase “negative space”. So many people either on blogs or that I know personally have so much stuff on their walls, shelves, etc. We all have a personal style of course, but I have tried to figure out a balance of a no clutter look while still expressing my personality and style by injecting some unique pieces in our home. My style has evolved over the years going from colonial, to now a blend of classic and transitional.
Hi Lyn, negative space is so important it gives our eyes a rest! I love that your home is evolving! Just like everything else in life our homes should reflect how we live today and what we love!
Love the 20 minute centerpiece.
Thank you Tone!
