Symmetrical Balance

My Pinterest boards seem to reflect a clear love on my part

for symmetry.

I see symmetry as pure balance...

that feeling you get when the last piece of the puzzle is put in place...

complete .... done .... fini....

but is it too predictable, too much of the stickin' to the rules approach to decorating...

I ask this because I am in the midst of designing our bookshelves for the living area...

I have a couple of possibilities, one which leads to a symmetrical look and another

that is purely asymmetrical.

Love the balance of those mirrors...well, actually I just love those mirrors!!!

Okay, that is just plain pretty... I want that door!!!  ......  and imagine all the seasonal inspirations you could dream up for those two tables ....

      talk about symmetry... and of course the subway tile to the ceiling is a big favourite of mine

                                   okay, that is just too plain cute....
                                                                       or rather, they are too cute!!

               Ahhh....what little one would not have a good balanced sleep tucked into that bed!

            Is this place following the rules a little too closely.... I do love those fun chandeliers!!

and I really do love all the elements but it seems to lack character or ....story?

I think rooms still need to tell us something about the people that live there....don't you?

                                                        yum...... such  a simple touch of symmetry.....

So when does symmetrical balance just become boring?

or is it ever boring???

Do I wrap my bookshelves around the french doors
to attain symmetry.....
