Think ‘strength in numbers’ is how I always look at repetition in design. Whether at the shops or at home, this is a visual play I use often. If you collect something, let’s say silver candlesticks, grouping them together will make a much stronger visual statement than if they are scattered about a room. By grouping like things together, it creates a collective whole. The eye sees the grouping, as well as the individual objects. Try this next time you get a burst of creative energy and want to switch up things a bit at home.
