I have a thing with symmetry. It’s not that I hate it. Symmetry is all great and lovely when it works out. However, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes your space is too small, or your structural elements/utilities make splitting your space perfectly in half impossible. I have had the occasional client who just couldn’t get over this spacial travesty, and in trying to attain it, were willing to forfeit function. As a functionalist, it hurts my heart. I’ve done away with drawers, added unnecessary fillers, and created dead corners, all in the holy name of all that is symmetry. Dead corners!!!!
So I bring you Asymmetry Saturday! Every week we will celebrate all that is lop sided, off center, and askew.
I’m starting off with my own asymmetry and a couple of things I found online. Send me your own asymmetry pics and I’ll post them here every Saturday!


And last, these awesomely asymmetric kitchens.
