Has this been an exhaustive treatise on rules and tools? Clearly not. Many other designers have lots to say on the issue. And I've not even touched on the importance of laughing a little — of not taking the process too seriously! (Another ideabook, perhaps.) Let me leave you with this striking room, with its use of all five tools. We have balance and equilibrium provided by the repetition of pairs of chairs and lamps. The wonderfully "other" chandelier sets the stage for the mix of styles, colors and periods. Varying scale is accomplished by the placement of the low-backed chairs and sofa in such a high-ceilinged space. And the undressed windows provide that oh-so-critical place where the eye can rest. The fireplace, with its statement mirror, shines as the focal point, putting a decisive bow on this great example of how to utilize basic tools to create personal, warm and inviting rooms.More: Feel Free to Break Some Decorating Rules. All elements of design- jumbled together!
"But," I hear you say, "my room does not have a focal point." No problem: Create one — preferably with something you love. The wall hanging in this room provides the focal point and dictates the color scheme. The sense of movement in the art is skillfully balanced by the solid color of the sectional, providing our third tool: a place where the eye can rest.w. The coffee table is WOW.
