Why are proportion and scale so important in room decorating?

Proportion and scale are crucial because they ensure furniture and decor fit the room’s size and architecture harmoniously. Oversized art or rugs create focal points and balance moody green walls, preventing a room from feeling bare or cluttered. Good scale makes spaces functional, visually pleasing, and welcoming. Prioritizing proportion over just pretty objects builds cohesive rooms where all elements feel thoughtfully placed and comfortable.
