The other morning, I was sitting in the living room and noticed this:
Anything look . . . off to you in this photo?
If you're anything like me, you saw that photo and immediately thought, "WHY ISN'T THE OTHER LAMP ON?!"
I thought that, anyway. Caps and all. And then I got up and turned the other lamp on.
I reeaallly dislike asymmetry. It bugs me. I know it's a personal preference and many people prefer the look of things that aren't symmetrical, but that is definitely not me.
How about you? Are you a symmetry person, or do you find asymmetry interesting?

I do like symmetry but did not pick up on the lamp I did notice that the books on the right hand side of the bottom shelf are not stacked vertically. Does that count as symmetry?
That counts as my children being lazy when I tell them to put away the many books that are always scattered around the living room. :-)
I like things that are mostly symmetrical, but a little touch of skew to liven it up.
On my never-ending to-do list is taking one of the lamps on the long table to be fixed; the switch stopped working. Both need to be lit. I do like things at calculated angles, but I find overall symmetry to be soothing. MIL
I do like think symmetrical; but love an eclectic look. I don’t like matchy-matchy, which my husband does … so we compromise.
I do not notice asymmetry. It makes my husband bonkers.

I love symmetry, especially symmetrical houses. With the door in the middle and the same number of windows on both sides. Or else the really crazy V.ictorian ones, with as many turrets and bay windows as possible

Yes, symmetrical houses! The giant and chaotic McMansion-style houses are not at all pleasing to my eye.
Totally agree! Glad to hear I’m not an anomaly in the family.
