Learn how to create eye-catching arrangements with your existing decor.
Do you have a hard time getting your decor to look just right? Wonder how stylists, interior designers, and bloggers do it?
I'll let you in on a little secret. Although, there are no hard-and-fast rules in decorating, there are some simple tricks most decorators swear by. One of those is visual triangles.
Remember the different types of triangles from geometry class? Isosceles, equilateral, and scalene. Well, thankfully, we don't have to worry about the specifics here—just know that a triangle has three sides and forms a point at the top. Visual triangles are a super easy guideline to use when arranging decor. The goal is to have one taller object either in the center or off center, with shorter objects tapering out on the sides like a triangle. It makes for an eye-pleasing arrangement. Here are three simple rules for decorating with visual triangles:
2. Consider the entire surface one large visual triangle.
If you're decorating a mantel or an entire shelf, the entire arrangement should create a visual triangle.
3. Then create smaller triangles.
Within the larger visual triangle, group items into smaller visual triangles. See how the larger visual triangle on this shelf (above) is made up of three groupings that form smaller visual triangles.

Where Should You Use Visual Triangles?
Everywhere. No, seriously. You can employ the visual triangle trick on any surface you're styling, from a bookshelf to a nightstand.
I consistently fall back on creating visual triangles when it comes time to decorate the mantel. I have a seven-step formula I follow, called the Anatomy of a Decorated Mantel, and one of the key steps is arranging items in visual triangles.
Employ these easy steps on your home and give any surface a quick makeover.
See how much better it looks? And, it was super simple!
