Home Staging Tips: How to Achieve Balance and Harmony

Spaces that display harmony and balance are more visually pleasing, and make more effective use of the space available. To keep any room from looking dull or one-sides, consider the following tips on furniture arrangement:  

 

* Do not place heavy and tall furniture pieces in the same area of your room. Mix smaller and bigger items throughout your space, but keep in mind the scale of those you put right next to each other. You would not want to place a beautiful round table by an overrsized, comfy armchair. A bulky chair needs a larger end table. So how do you achieve harmony by mixing smaller and bigger pieces? Keep in mind that smaller pieces can balance out a visually heavier item. Two relatively small armchairs and a table balance a bigger sofa.    

 

* Balance does not only apply to the scale and size of your furniture pieces. You can also achieve balance in their colours and materials as well. 

 

* As much as possible, do not leave items sitting alone in a room. Connect your furniture pieces by placing lamps or tables nearby. For example, if a sofa is placed in the center of a room facing the fireplace, anchor it by putting a table behind it.  

 

* Use different heights of items as well as accessories. You want the eyes to move up and down.

 

* For added interest, pull your pieces away from your wall. If your sofa is pushed against the wall, consider putting a table behind it to pull it into the space.   

 

* When possible, angle furniture. This will take the rough edges of your room off. A dresser or a desk often looks better when angled across a corner than pushed straight against the wall. Angles make a space warmer and display a casual, lived-in style. 

 

* If your room has a large bay window or curved mantel, a round or semi-circle furniture arrangement can complement it. 

 

* If your psace lacks interesting architectural details, consider adding French door or moulding to add visual interest. 

 

* Keep in mind that space will be more inviting and relaxing is they're not overfilled with furniture pieces. If you have an items that ruins the balance of your room or is not often used, consider transferring it to another room, storing it, or getting rid of it.
