Decorate in groups of three for an engaging and sophisticated look.

Three is a Magical Number for Decorating


Think three for an engaging and sophisticated look.


Think three for: 
• Throw pillows 
• Paintings hanging on a wall – aligned vertically or horizontally 
• Family photographs sitting on a bureau or table 
• Candles displayed on a mantle 
• Vases or jars on a coffee table or console 
• The number of cushions on your sofa 
• Lighting sources in a room 
• Even small ottomans 

Take a look around your home today to find items you can re-arrange to create a collection of three. Arrangements can be formal, with identically sized items that are cleanly aligned. Collections can also be informally arranged, with objects that vary in size and height. Kitchen canisters, coffee table books, small candles and house plants can be arranged in groups of three for a pleasing effect. Arranging three pillows on a couch creates harmony. Displaying three decorative accessories together makes a pleasing presentation.

Think three for your home accessorizing. It’s a magical way to make your rooms look more sophisticated and complete.
