How to Style a Coffee Table Using the Rule of ThreeĪre you wondering, “What about my books, and my collectibles, and everything scattered across my coffee table right now?” When you start putting together groups of seven or nine it gets more complicated. When you’re starting out, stick to arrangements of one, three, or five. Remember, in most decorating situations bigger décor is better and less is usually more. In the Rule of Three video episode, I show two ways to combine two smaller arrangements into one larger arrangement. Sometimes larger spaces, like a mantel or long shelf requires a bigger arrangement to decorate the space. The next best thing to Rule of Three is creating odd numbered arrangements like one, five, seven, or nine. Displaying these two coordinated arrangements in the same room creates decorating continuity. Now, there are two arrangements that follow the Rule of Three, without being matchy-matchy. In the example above, I swapped the smallest finial with the driftwood ball from the other arrangement. This is an easy way to create multiple arrangements for one room that are unique, but coordinated. Instead of displaying matching objects as a group, you can mix matched sets together to create coordinated, but varied groupings.
In video two of Home Styling 101, I showed you how you can use shape and texture to break up a matched set and make it a little bit more interesting. The easiest way to follow the Rule of Three is to display a matching set of décor-three different sizes of the same type of object. In the Home Styling 101 video series, I repeatedly use the rule of three, even when I’m teaching you other styling tricks, because it works.įor decorating, the Rule of Three means objects look better in a group of three. In writing, photography, and design, grouping things in elements of three is a classic principle to follow.
I love simple, easy to follow rules like the one I’m about to share with you.Īlthough, I think a lot of design rules can be bent or broken, this is one I recommend you follow.
