BALANCE IN MATERIALS, COLORS AND SHAPES

Wooden elements:
Wood, plants, rectangular shapes and green colours activate your spaces in a special way, giving them life.
Metallic elements:
Metal, marble, stones, silver or white colors, circular shapes bring strength to your spaces.
Reflective elements:
Mirrors, water, grey, black and blue colours, wavy shapes bring fluidity to your spaces.
Lighting elements:
Lighting, leather, reddish colors and triangular shapes bring energy into the home.
Ochre Elements:
Heavy objects with horizontal square and rectangular shapes, yellow and earth colors give a feeling of calm in the space.
Balance in your spaces is achieved by having objects from each of the groups. When a group stands out too much, we can neutralize it with elements from other groups. If our house has many wooden elements, we can balance it by adding metallic elements.
PRACTICAL TIPS
Windows and doors
If the windows in your house are small, it is recommended to have good lighting from lamps and plants also help to balance.
If your home has large windows, it is recommended to have rugs and curtains to achieve balance.
Opening the windows when they are on opposite sides helps to give fluidity to the space.
Corners and nooks
Placing objects such as plants, baskets, lamps or other decorative objects helps the energy of our spaces flow.
Stairs and hallways
Hallways and stairs are not just places of transit, they are an important part of your home. If we have decorative elements on the stairs, it is advisable to place them at the same height. And in hallways, placing mirrors on the sides is a good option to give spaciousness and to create harmonious rooms.
Ceilings and beams
When we have high ceilings, shelves are recommended to balance them, if they are low, consoles can be used.
Lightning
Warm lighting brings harmony to your spaces. When we have spaces with a lot of light, we can balance them with dark colors on the walls. If the space lacks lighting, whether natural or artificial, light tones are ideal.
To have your spaces in harmony, remember to start with order and cleanliness, being aware that our house is a reflection of our life. Then, look for the balance of your objects in their materials, colors and shapes, this will make you feel calm and comfortable in your home and finally, apply practical advice in decoration to eliminate blockages in the flow of your spaces.
