How to use the power of three to give your space a designer touch

Good things come in sets of threes in the world of design. Once you tap into this powerful concept, your rooms will look better and feel better too.

WHY SETS OF THREE?
Using the same design elements three times throughout a space establishes rhythm – a designer secret that organizes a room and gets the eye moving around. And there’s a psychological benefit too. Rhythm or repetition sets up familiarity which in turn feels comforting.
