Scale is a very important element when it comes to home design. When choosing furniture, accessories, and even fabrics, you need to pay attention to the how of the item size or pattern size related to its surroundings.
You will instantly be aware of the element of scale if you were to move from a small home into a larger home. Your standard sized sofa with a low back, will instantly seem out of place in a great room with 18 foot high ceilings. Your mantle candlesticks will look like miniature toy pieces on the mantle in such a grand sized room.
Not only do you need to match the try to match the scale of your furniture to the scale of your home, but when it comes to patterns you need to be sure the scale does not match. If you sofa is upholstered in a bold large floral print, for example, you don’t want to math it with a similarly bold fabric with wide stripes. The details on these items will fight for your visual attention and neither will stand out. On the other hand, if you take that floral sofa and pair it with a pin-stripe fabric you will have a perfect combination that makes each item stand out individually.
Speaking of scale, lets take a look at the
60” Atlantic Sailfish Half Mount Fish Replica. It is a gigantic and fun
wall art piece that will surely take the center stage in any room. Because of its huge size, it can also overwhelm a room that is on the small side. You might want to go for a smaller version if you live in a small ranch home with low ceilings and small rooms. This fish replica art piece is five feet long and will look great in a rustic cabin, is great for a seafood restaurant, or a home with big rooms and high ceilings. While this art piece is made of fiberglass, it is extremely life like and very easy to clean. It is study enough to hang outdoors and even at the dockside.
