Proportion/Scale Ideabook

I like the style of bowl for the sinks. This picture is formal balance because the sinks and mirrors are equivalent.

Q

Photo

I love all the wood in the eating area and mirrors. The mirrors make the room have formal balance because they're equal.

Q

Photo

I love the symmetry in this bathroom. The middle of the bathtub is the dividing line and the mirrors, windows, and sinks balance out both sides. This picture represents formal balance.

Q

Photo

I love the cozy relaxed feeling that this room gives off. This is an appropriate use of scale with the furniture that nicely fits the room but doesn't take up the whole space.

Q

Photo

I like the beams on the ceiling in this dining room, but the dining room table is not in scale with the size of the room.

Q

Photo

I really like this picture because of the cleanliness and space it provides. The kitchen shows an appropriate use of space by placing an island in the middle of the kitchen so it isn't bare.

Q

Photo

I like this room because of the light grey tones used on the wall and the throw pillows. This picture represents human scale because it isn't cramped or obnoxiously big, so it is the perfect size for a dining room table.

Q

Photo

I like this picture because the colors are light and calming. This shows human scale with the room not being very large and the crib for a baby.

Q

Photo

I love the light fixtures in this picture and all of the stainless steel on the appliances. This picture shows disproportion because of the small abundant light fixtures compared to the big blocks of furniture.
