5. BALANCE
“Similar to establishing harmony, balance is all about arranging furniture in a way that’s pleasing to the eye. Centering certainly does the trick (think of how you hang paintings), but it’s more about evenly distributing the visual weight of furniture so no piece overwhelms another. You need to arrange the elements of the room to provide an equilibrium: You wouldn’t put an entertainment unit next to an ornate fireplace. Rather, if you have a large piece at one end of the room (the fireplace), you need to balance it out with another visually weighty piece at the other end (the entertainment unit)” (Rooney, 2008).
