Mix and Match
Resist the urge to put the flowers in the middle every time. This row of neutral accents benefits from an unexpected bloom of color on one end—and note how designer Tiffany Brooks used repetition of similar items across the row to achieve balance (bravo!) without symmetry (boring!). A low-slung piece like this antique boatmaker’s cabinet from Bassett is a great place to experiment with objects of different heights. Don’t be afraid to mix and match until you get just the right look.
