I chose asymmetry–I’m always drawn to it and it has helped to discover diagonal placement of bigger pieces to “expand” the space of a small living room in our mini-ranch! As Femme1 says, no sofa straight against a wall. Ours is diagonal from the back left angled toward the right front. Along the back are the three massive front and windows and then on the right, the wraparound side porch window. We can easily look outside and into our inside simultaneously.

Being a book designer (as part of my editorial job), I have to pick asymmetry. Nothing I hate worse than centered type on a page! (Well, I guess there ARE things I hate worse than that…sorry for the hyperbole.)
I also think of mid-century modern design as asymmetric—and my house is decorated with angles and off-centered objects. None of my sofas sit straight against a wall!

Asymmetry always for me. Balanced but not the same. Maybe it comes from my landscaping background.

When I think of mid century modern, asymmetry comes to mind.

I like asymmetrical massing, but made up of symmetrically composed pieces.

I thought of Tattoos in this instance. I like matching sets, even if they are not the same exact thing. I’ve got work on both my arms. My fiance has book matched Stars on her back. She wants her calves done, BOTH of them. Split me down the middle and I want it to look the same. The same approach goes with decorating.

Neatness and balance and all equal? I don’t know, it’s my gut that wants it.

I second Elvis’ comment!

I like the way things “line up” but my imagination wants to see what the light would expose if it were to shine beyond the paramaters of the laptop…say for instance, the deco of the room she is in, or the kitscy things that might also be on the desk…

I picked asymmetry, because I think of myself as a bit off center. Great blog.
