You’ve heard of the Golden Rule, but what about the Golden Ratio? Although this term technically comes from mathematics, it’s often used in the design world and, in a nutshell, means approaching your space in either one-third or two-third sections, rather than breaking it up into halves or quarters.
“The Golden Ratio provides a tangible framework to achieve balance, blending the scale of pieces for a more visually pleasing aesthetic,” says Havenly’s Managing Editor, Heather Goerzen. “Scale and proportion can be tricky to master — after all, designers get a degree studying such topics. But with this mathematical principle in the back of your mind, it can help you deconstruct layouts and plan furniture purchases with a greater sense of confidence,” Heather says.
Here are a few tips for how to use the golden ratio in various rooms of your home.

Scale and proportion are two words that are sometimes used interchangeably in the interior design world. However, to truly understand design elements and principles, it’s essential to tell the difference between the two. Interior designers study these concepts for years to use the concepts in the form of design elements to balance out interior space.
In the interior design industry, scale and proportion refer to the size of objects. Scale is used to understand the size of objects vis-a-vis other objects or even the space itself. For example, a bed may be measured, keeping an average human body to scale.
On the other hand, proportion is a concept used to understand specific design elements such as the size, shape, color, or texture with respect to an object. Scale is a more specific concept, whereas proportion is more relative.
