If Your Room Is Feeling Off, It’s Probably Because You’re Ignoring the Rules of Repetition – Here’s How to Use Them to Create Visual Harmony and Cohesion

A large living room in a calming, neutral color scheme with artwork hanging above the fireplace, two accent chairs on the right, a large ottoman, two couches, a gallery wall on the left, and a large chandelier in the center of the room.
