It takes two to make a thing go right-
It takes two to make it outta sight!
Hit It!

YES! Sometimes it's all about the BALANCE and hitting the right notes with just the right pairs. Great photos, all! I would feel very balanced in any of those settings : ) What a great design thought for the day! xx Suzanne
I love symmetry in a room too ~ I think it has something to do with being a Libra, (they love balance, the sign is a scale ~ not that I am huge into astrology but this is dead on)! Love the boys bedroom with the Union Jack. xo
I agree! Symmetry makes me happy! I love two of everything...
I am a huge fan of symmetry in a room! And, I love that art in the 2nd photo!
Oh my I love symmetry!! It makes my heart oh so happy when things balance!! I love the chairs in the first image!! And the yellow stools as well!
:) Hazel
I am all about the balance...and the great example here are the beautiful armchairs on the first photo....Stunning post sweetie!
Kisses my lovely...
I'm all for symmetry! And love all the images, but the first one is SO YOU!! xoxo
I'm crazy about symmetry also! I think it's my OCD though ;)
I love the fabric on the chairs in the first photo.
Have a lovely day!
xx
Fun post, fun song. I love the purple ikat chairs in the first image.
Symmetry has a stabilizing effect in a room that I like. Lovely pictures.
absolutely agree!! love the yellow room, those stools have me drolling for ages now!
Lovely selection darling xoxo
Agree...especially love it with the twin beds, the balance makes it so modern and inviting!
Love it! X 2

I love me a symmetrical room.
In this crazy, out of balance world we all need balance in our homes. I love ALL of these images. Great, great!
Given that I'm one of a symmetrical pair, I've always loved the balance of two!
Love this. I must say my favourite picture is the bedroom in picture number three. It looks like the perfect guest room!

Symmetry indeed, dear Lady;-)
That first image tickles my fancy.
It's so cozy and quaint with the flowers silently sitting there;-)
Love all these images and symmetrical they are. Have a great day.
lovely, i really love the 9th picture!!
two is better than one--I love symmetry!
I loved these! And then I read the musical quote and laughed! 90's flashback! :)
I am a fan of symmetry too. All of these rooms are so gorgeous!
It might be too traditional for some, but I love symmetry in design. The chairs in that first picture are divine, and they are PURPLE - even better!
Great ideas here also. I`m in the midst of decorating a Carrie Bradshaw type apartment and symmetry is very important. My place is long like a bowling alley but unlike Carries apartment I have a rooftop deck.
yep, i'm with you! that first image is a killer. great collection zushie! jxxx
Fabulous rooms! I love the second pic the most, but they are all stunning, as always! You and Cashon&Co. need to hook up and start an 80s cover band, she was quoting Will Smith's "Summertime" on Saturday! LOL!
Great Z., now I'm gonna have that song stuck in my head all day. ;)
Very good chosen images! I always try to bring in symmetry in designing a room! It is very important to me!
Great post!

Love it love it! Especially in kids rooms and living rooms! Unfortunately, I think all the builders in the O.C. had some aversion against symmetry and come up with crazy layouts for rooms. Maybe a hallway like th eone you posted will be in my future?

Love those two chairs in the first pic!
i'm a symmetry person myself...don't know why, just always have been! i love it!
Sue, perfect images, and I am a symetrical person...(for the most part)

Totally agree! I have had that Elle Decor Manhattan living room photo in my inspiration folder for a couple years now! I love it, and always will! Thanks for your comments on our blog the other day! It's great to find you over here. :)
I am so into this! I love to have pairs of two's! Great post!
I am definitely not one to notice symmetry but maybe I should because these are fabulous.
I have a love/hate relationship with symmetry! I think it always brings a feeling of calm to a space, but an asymmetrical organization if usually more interesting, which is very appealing too. Great pics and a useful post.
Great picture selection as always! Tuesday morning eye candy for sure. xo
I am with you on this one. I always tend to do symetry in my rooms. It is a fine line to not make it look too contrived but it just feels right and balanced to me. I did a post a while ago on symetry and we used the same examples, I love it when like minded people find eachother, isn't blogland wonderful, Have a Happy Tuesday,kathysue
LOVE those purple ikat print chairs in the top photo. Perfect symmetry:)
There is comfort in symmetry, but fun to mix it up sometimes too!
Fantastic examples! And I want that painting in the second photo... a lot.
i love the union jack between those two beds. you've got me thinking!
I love all of your choices. Symmetry creates harmony and balance in a room. Ahhh....
Love the photos! Great pics! :)
Love that picture of the two twin beds with raffia headboards and monogrammed pillows!! Would be a lovely guest room.
Superb pictures! Love the silhouette cushions.
symmetry really does make my mind happy =) have a good night lady :)
Love it! Symmetry makes me happy ... although I wish I would be a little more embracing of the asymmetrical!
Symmetry is Love.
(space 9 is simply stunning)
I LOVE symmetry. I always like when things are perfectly symmetrical; I find it to be so visually pleasing. That blue couch is so cute!

I love symmetry -- it suites my type-A personality.
And I am SO in love with those purple ikat chairs.
I am singing right now.... xx
those first two chairs are a home run.
I like a little symmetry mixed with a little asymmetry!
I'm all about symmetry. But I do think it works best when there is one element that is not repeated (like the lamp in the twin bed shot). Love it.
OMG I love that first room!
LOVE everything... But that second room's two tables are annoying me. I just want to push them together or buy them one table!
A room is nothing without symmetry (in my opinion) Love the first pic ;)
Yay for symmetry! Love it. xx
I love symmetry too - it seems to bring order to my disorderly? mind...
And do I spy a bottle of Jo Malone on that side table in the first pic? How wonderful: "Yes,I think I SHALL have a seat and a spritz, thank you!" :)
Wow so much eye candy here!
I too am a 'symmetry girl' - it doesn't always have to be as structured as this but I love it when a room is well balanced. So restful for the eyes.
Am in love with the little table in no 1. and the wall of bird art in the last pic. Gorgeous!

CUTE!! It takes two to tango!

love these shots

I love the look of symmetry in a room. There's something so safe and comforting about it. And there's always room for a surprise splash of color or whimsy too!
Love this post my favorite is the last picture - might have to redecorate :) Suze
Those purple chairs are gorgeous! Balance is always good in a room. :)
really great- balance is so important-
I really love the purple chairs in the first photo- such a great color and the yellow seats are too cute- I am looking for something to 'spray' that color- it is my favorite.
OK, I've decided, I'll take the one with the columns & view of the water. xx's
I need the purple chairs. That is all :)
GORGEOUS! xo
Oooo Ii adore the suitcase night stands. Those are fantastic.
Rachael
I'm a symmetry freak too...just something so comforting about it.
I agree completely. Seeing those tow beds in teh pictures makes me want to change my double bed. But i would miss feeling hubby i guess. xx
hahaha I can't stop singing that song now. gotta love Rob Base :) i love symmetry. i know it's not necessarily cool but i'm crazy about it.
The bedrooms are particularly nice. Great picks.
ooh, i see one of my fave rooms from domino - love the greys and blues...so pretty
