Repetition

I remember learning one of the basic principals of design is repetition. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I tried to mimic the archway leading into the dining room with the 3 plates over the pictures on the dining room wall. I think it worked out well. Any time you can use any of the principals of design (balance, gradation, repetition, contrast, harmony, dominance and unity) in your decorating will unify your space and make it more interesting. ~amy
