What is the Rule of 3?
According to the Rule of 3, to create a harmonious layout, it is necessary to select groupings of 3 related elements, which must then be arranged to create balance and visual interest. Whether these elements are furnishing accessories, decorative pieces, light fittings or a paint palette, by following the Rule of 3, you can create an aesthetically pleasing environment without going "over the top".
This rule can be applied to almost any element and in any room. This approach will revolutionize your home environment quickly, effortlessly and without great expense.
The Rule of 3 with decorative elements
The simplest way to apply the Rule of 3 to your rooms is to group similar elements together: for example, choose 3 vases to decorate a table or coffee table; or use 3 decorative, similar ornament to place on a shelf. Even artwork or the cushions on the sofa can be grouped into 3's to create a harmonious and balanced look.
When applying this rule, it is essential to consider the shape, color and size of the elements to be grouped, in order to achieve a balanced result.
The Rule of 3 with colors
This rule can also be applied to color selection/matching. To do this properly, choose two dominant colors and a complimentary accent color. One of the dominant colors should make up 60% of your room's decor, the other making up a further 30%. The remaining 10% will be in the chosen accent color.
The Rule of 3 for furnishing accessories
Finally, furnishing accessories can also be laid out according to the Rule of 3: identify the 3 main pieces of furniture in a room and use them as a focal point and start-position to move progressively from largest to smallest element/s. Finish off with a matching "furniture accent piece".
Using the Rule of 3 will allow you to create a balanced, harmonized and visually appealing home environment
