Symmetrical

Chair Arrangements

With attention to scale and balance -- and our examples -- your framed collections will be a visual feast, rather than a meager afterthought.

1. This symmetrical composition, with mirrorlike images on either side of an imaginary center line, gathers together the furniture grouping by visually hugging the chairs closer to the lamp.

Dramatic

2. For design balance, overscaled furniture requires a wall arrangement with gusto, such as this single dramatic work. It breaks into both chairs to link the grouping, but isn't overshadowed by the slim lines of the lamp.

Anchored

3. Anchored by the low horizontal fish, this arrangement is balanced by the large fish print on the left and the "school" of smaller objects on the right.

Uneven grouping

4. Uneven numbers of objects are more interesting than groupings of even numbers. With equal spacing between, three frames hung close to the lightly scaled chairs capture interest, which is heightened by the simple, off-center lamp.
