Principles of Design: Balance

Design Challenge 

I have been hired as a design consultant by a client who is remodeling her living room. She has one large empty wall that needs to be filled over her couch. 

The client would like to see two options for the arrangement: symmetrical and Asymmetrical

The client has also asked me to keep these ideas in mind.

1. She would like to keep the couch against the wall

2. She would be open to the idea of adding lighting or end tables.

3. She would like a grouping of pictures that hang over the couch

Symmetrical

Asymmetrical
