DHAKA: Harmony in home decor is quite important. It’s a feeling of peace and being in sync with the space around you. It's a way to create a sense of calmness throughout your entire home that makes your life just a little more beautiful.

Here are some basic ways to add more of it to your home!

Strike a visual balance: Harmony is all about achieving a sense of balance. So, while designing your personal space, try to strike a visual balance. Make sure that one side of a room doesn't look 'heavier' than the other. So, the basic principle to have it spread over so that it gives a balanced look.

Maintain symmetry: Symmetry is a natural way to create the sense of harmony in a space. Curtains are a great way to create the look of symmetry. Matching chairs or cushions can do the trick. The colours used in the room should gel with each other and shouldn't stick out like sore thumbs.

Declutter: Clutter is the biggest enemy of harmony. You can't strike visual harmony if you have clutter around. Free flowing space naturally gives a sense of tranquillity and harmony. So, even of you are not doing anything else, just keep your room neat and clean. And get rid of anything that you don't need. You will see the difference yourself.
