Now let’s talk about balance. Balance occurs when the amount, size, or weight of objects on both sides of a center point is equal; or when unequal objects appear to be equal. There are two types of balance: Symmetrical and Asymmetrical.

Symmetrical balance is, also known as formal balance; the arrangement of forms on one side of an imaginary central line is the mirror image of forms on the opposite side. Some ways to create symmetrical balance is by arranging two upholstered chairs facing each other in front of a fireplace.
Asymmetrical balance is, also known as informal balance; when elements on either side of an imaginary central line are unmatched, but appear to be balanced.

Now let’s talk about emphasis. Emphasis is the center of interest or focal point that first catches the view’s attention. For example: single large item or multiple small items. Also the fireplace, art work, piece of furniture. These are some ways to create emphasis within your room!
