23 Striking Asymmetrical and Off-Centre Features
Our coffee-break escape offers you five minutes' worth of images to inspire and delight. Jump right in...
Do the rooms in your home feel a little formal or, dare we say it, dull? Try adding in the odd asymmetrical feature – an artwork hung to one side of the wall, a mirror that tapers at one end, a roofline guided by the landscape and not the rules of symmetry – and watch your home come to life. Here are 23 spaces from around the world that prove off-centre styling can be right on-point.
