""Essentially, the rule of thirds moves the focal point of a piece off-center, and that creates visual dynamism and tension in a composition, which can make it more memorable and fulfilling to look at," shares Danielle, who learned this trick back in her studio art and art history days. Here's how it works: Divide your shelf and the space above it into a grid."
A free 20-day home-refresh program supplies daily assignments to help update living spaces. The rule of thirds is a styling technique that divides a shelf and the space above it into a 3x3 grid and uses the grid's intersection points as placement guides. Positioning objects off-center creates visual dynamism and tension, making compositions more memorable and satisfying to view. Use books, decor, plants, and other items at those invisible intersections to guide placement. For smaller shelves, divide the area into three sections and apply the rule within each section, and apply the guideline flexibly rather than rigidly.
