A win-win technique that Emily Henderson often uses in her designs:
On any surface – whether a mantelpiece, console, coffee table or dresser – three things should be present:
- Something vertical;
- something horizontal;
- something sculptural that combines the previous two
In fact, many experienced designers and decorators apply the rule of threes to create a more harmonious interior. Why exactly “three?” A composition of an odd number of objects (or groups of objects) is perceived by us in a balanced, natural and attractive way. But here it is important to choose objects so that they differ in size, color and shape, then we avoid monotony and give the eye variety.
