How To Create Balance In Your Living Room

1. When choosing pairings, remember this tip.

2. Not only should you take into consideration the height, shape and proportions of your coffee table, but consider the balance too.

3. If you have a sofa that is raised off the floor with supporting legs, opt for a solid-frame coffee table, to ground your space.

4. Visa-versa, if your sofa has no visible legs, choose a coffee table with an open base.

5. Notice how leggy your space feels when you choose open furnishings with your open-raised sofa.

6. Use this rule to complement your other furnishings whilst also making your space feel proportional and balanced.

How To: Style Your Sideboard

1. Start with a proportional-size mirror or piece of art.

2. Introduce ambient lighting with a table lamp.

3. Pair with a simple tray to host a collection of layered vases, candle sticks, or frames.
