Learning to enter the interior of stylish asymmetry, competently design the tables and shelves, get rid of excessive severity of the situation.
What is the "rule of three"?
"The rule of three" in the interior is the installation on the location of furniture and decor with conditional or obvious groups of 3.
Why exactly 3? First, often compositions consisting of an odd number of objects look less stretched and more informally. Secondly, 3 is exactly the number of which one can say "is no longer a little yet"; That is, a visually composition of 3 objects will not seem to be redundant or unfinished.
Why do you need to apply this rule?
Turning to the "Rule of Three", you can:
- Reduce the official, the seittences of the interior (when there is a feeling that the situation turned out to be overly strict);
- make a symmetric arrangement more interesting (adding to a group of two objects third);
- Stylishly issue a coffee table, bedside table, chest of drawers;
- Posted by the situation more individuality.
How to use the "Rule of Three" in the interior
1. Dilute symmetry
If you put two furniture objects symmetrically - and the composition turned out to be somewhat stretched, unnecessarily straight, dilute it with the third. For example, a coffee table or a lamp can be added to a group of two chairs (it is better to put an additional object next to one of the pairs).
2. We put in line
Another spectacular reception is the linear location of the three identical objects. This may be, for example, 3 posters in the headboard or 3 lamp over the bar counter.
3. Register the shelves, dressers and tables
Following the "Rule of Three", it is much easier to create stylish compositions for designing open shelves, racks, surfaces of dresser, bedside tables, coffee tables, etc.
Pick up 3 subjects combined with a total characteristic (color, size, material, shape, style, etc.) and make one group of them.
4. Hooligan
Compositions of 3 items, where two are completely the same, and the third is somewhat different, it looks uncomfortable and interesting, make a light hooligan note and the charm of imperfections. For example, if you have 3 pictures made in one stylist, two of them can be hung in line, and the third is slightly higher / below. Or choose two posters in one color scheme, and the third is a contrasting shade.
Break: Does it always be necessary to follow "Rules three"?
Do not hurry to make a permutation, diligently grouping furniture and accessories on 3. First, the "rule of three" is just one of the many possible expressive techniques, one should not subordinate the whole interior to him. Secondly, there are styles for which it is much more appropriate that will be symmetric, a mirror arrangement (classic, neoclassic). Thirdly, there are situations where 3 items will still be insufficient for a full-fledged composition.
For example, you select the lighting for the countertops in the erker or make a narrow long corridor - and understand that 3 lamps for the linear composition will be clearly not enough. Of course, it is necessary to proceed in such cases from the length of the corridor / countertops and dimensions of the lamps.
Pay attention to the finished sets
Furniture and decor manufacturers know perfectly well about the magic "Three Rules", so you will often find items in the design of which it is used. In addition, you can often find sets of vases, candles, storage baskets consisting of 3 items.
