Asymmetry is important in decorating your home, too. But that’s a discussion for another time. Symmetry, the balance of elements, is easy to process at first sight and, therefore, makes it easier for your brain to grasp the flavour of a room at a glance.

Resident Interior Designer Joanne Motee’s Hawthorn Estate project epitomises TIMELESS elegance, glamour and SYMMETRY in perfection.

Symmetry is often used to cleverly create sitting areas within larger spaces. In her latest project, Joanne used two ornate crystal lamps with custom-made shades behind a velvet upholstered sofa to draw attention from the coffee table to the spectacular outside view. The luxurious interlined curtains accompanied by the lush cushions create the perfect frame for the symmetrical sitting room.
