Threes

In design, odd numbers in groupings are good.  My favorite odd number is three.
 I do it in my home all the time.

These globes in urns are on our bedroom dresser in front of a map of Paris.

Rosemary topiaries with an iron grate background on my ever-changing family room mantel.

The threes don't always have to match either.  In the next image I have three matching books, but two french nail head orbs and a metal laurel wreath.

I also placed three prints on my window frame and three pillows on the sun room sofa.

The three iron candlesticks are on the table in my screened porch.

Again, a mismatched group of three--two foo dogs and coral on my sun room mantel.

This was last year's Fall mantel with two pewter vases and a vintage frame.

I have three framed intaglios on my striped wall above my mirrored table.

I decoupaged a copy of an old clock face onto three books.

Furniture can be in threes too.  Two faux bamboo chairs flank an Asian chest in my sunroom.

Take a look around your home.  I'll bet you'll see some groupings that add up to an odd number.
