We might have been taught that symmetry is the secret to the most pleasing design schemes, but Chrissy Metz's living room gently eschews the rule, and we think it works so beautifully. While at first glance you might see an ordered and aesthetically pleasing space, look closer and you'll notice it's not quite a mirror image, which makes it feel like a small, yet satisfying rebellion against the norm.
So, are symmetrical living room layouts out of style? The interesting answer is no. 'Symmetry instantly supports the order already present in architectural elements like fireplaces, windows, and repeated arches,' explains Bruce Tucker, Co-Founder, Octane Seating.
