[The Aesthete]( Feb 20 ∙ Preview   [READ IN APP](   Cover: [Vivify Studios]( In this week's giggle-packed edition of The Aesthete, we're tiptoeing through the perfectly aligned world of symmetry in interior spaces—because who doesn't love a bit of order with their chaos? We've also snagged a sneak peek at a dining chair so unconventional it might just start its own rebellion at the dinner table, plus kitchen stools that are so quirky, your morning coffee might just spit itself out in surprise. And, hold onto your tablecloths, because we're unveiling a coaster set that's doing its best crab impression—perfect for those who like their furniture with a side of sea-cret identity. Dive in with us for these treats and more! The use of symmetry in interior design plays a pivotal role in crafting spaces that exude balance, harmony, and a sense of well-being. Symmetrical arrangements, where elements on one side of a room mirror those on the other, create an immediate sense of order and calmness, appealing to our innate desire for balance. This design principle is not just limited to the placement of furniture; it extends to the layout of windows, doors, and decorative pieces, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing environment. To sprinkle some symmetrical magic into your abode, start by playing matchmaker with your furniture: think identical nightstands flanking your bed, or twin armchairs bookending a coffee table. This creates a visually calming oasis that's as comforting as finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Dive into the world of mirrors, not just for last-minute lipstick checks but to double the beauty of a room, reflecting light and lovely views to make spaces feel larger and more luminous. And don't forget the power of a well-placed rug—it's like a hug for your room, bringing all your carefully chosen elements together in a cozy embrace. Symmetry isn't just about doubling up, though; it's the art of balance. So, if you've got a hefty sofa on one side, balance it out with a similar weight visually on the other, perhaps with a bookcase or an art cluster that whispers, "I'm just as captivating." Embrace symmetry with a wink and a nudge, and watch your space transform into a beautiful ballet of balance and beauty. Here are some spaces that use symmetry to great effect. By [Alaa Basem & Alaa Mohsen]( By [Alena Leonenko and Stany Kozlovkii]( By [Studio Axis]( By [Ola Azzam]( By [Catalina Estrada]( Spatially Pleasing By [Academy M6]( This space looks as if the ocean decided to throw a housewarming party and the view was the guest of honor. With windows so large they make you wonder where the outdoors begin and indoors end, the room serves up a slice of the sea on a panoramic platter. And that pool, with its tranquil water, is just a "dive in, the water's fine" away from perfection. It's the kind of setup where you can float on your back, play spot-the-cloud, and still keep an envious seagull's eye on that breathtaking view. By [render.camp .]( Ah, behold the "S Chair" by Tom Dixon, swaggering into this dining scene with curves that could rival any Italian sports car. It's the James Bond of chairs—sophisticated, dashing, and with a license to thrill. Anchoring this bastion of chic, the wooden table stands as the grounding yin to the S Chair's yang, offering a stage where the drama of dinner parties unfolds nightly. The pendant lamps, with their undulating silhouettes, appear to be floating like whimsical sea creatures summoned from the deep for an aerial ballet. Light sifts through the sheers, casting a glow that's the visual equivalent of a warm hug, while the foliage reaches for the sky, aspiring to be as lofty as the room's design ambitions. By [Noha Ibrahim]( Step into the lair of the modern-day Medici, where business meets Botticelli. This isn't just an office; it's a Renaissance revival in workspace form. The mosaic mural gazes down like it's pondering the quarterly report, and the golden blooms overhead are so opulent, they'd have Midas doing a double-take. With chairs so plush, they could double as thrones, and a desk that's more a statement piece than a mere surface for laptops and lattes. By [Kelly Behun]( Welcome to the kitchen where even the furniture gives you a helping hand—literally. This culinary haven is where chic meets quirk, with stools that look like they’ve walked straight out of a fairy tale. One can't help but give a round of applause to those hand-shaped seats, offering a standing ovation to anyone who whips up a meal. The marble backsplash whispers elegance, and the woven light fixtures add a touch of rustic charm, like picnic baskets turned into lamps. The plants are lined up in perfect herbaceous harmony, making it a spice rack that doubles as a green thumb's chorus line. By [Karina Saletskaya]( Step into this slumber chamber where the elephants roam free – on the wall art, that is. It's as if someone whispered, "Safari chic," and the room heard "make it majestic." The mural, a grayscale homage to the gentle giants of the wild, brings a touch of the Serengeti to this sanctuary of sleep. --------------------------------------------------------------- The Aesthete is a reader supported publication.
