Rhythm

While the flowers on the pan'ng may seem somewhat bleak, when paired with a bright color the pan'ng would contrast nicely. The flowered pain'ngs would look nice in southern home hallway or in a teenagers bright colored room if paired with the right furniture.
Contrast rhythm is rhythm that has an abrupt change that forms repe''ve rhythm.
Contrast rhythm can be seen in pa;erns, such as open and closed or light and dark.
Light and dark color contrast rhythms can be found in fabric, area rugs, and tex'le or wall coverings.
Proportion
48
Soothing balance can be achieved when objects are in propor'on to space. All of the objects in the picture are on the larger side which makes the room feel warm full but not packed and stuffy.
The china cabinet could appear to large for a room if placed
incorrectly. Take into considera'on the room before adding an object that would normally appear to large. The small couches, however, draws the eye to the towards the china
cabinet, which is lovely.
Not all objects need to be in propor'on to space in order to
be aesthe'cally pleasing. Abstract buildings can
some'mes not be in propor'on with space as well. Objects not in propor'on with space need to be added to a southern home
carefully!

Add a similar set up to a formal entry way to your southern home for a warm welcome.
