Let's play the triangle game. Using color as a theme, can you spot the triangles in the next room?
This decorator arranged the florals in a triangle, the greens in a triangle, and you'll notice the lamps are in a triangle and so are the pillows. Just connect the same colored triangles....
Q. What triangle comes from a socialist country?
A. An equilateral one. Killing myself... because I still get it!

Again, here the golds are arranged in a Triangle and so is the greenery. That big black coat on the wall acts as the tip of the triangle to the table top... which I think counts as 2 points because it's so wide.
Q. What dances did the twin isosceles triangles excel at?
A. The rhombus, of course. Okay, that one made my brain flex.

How many other layers of triangles can you spot in this room?


What else am I missing?

What did the little acorn say when he grew up?
Geometry!!
Your post gave me a smile on this Monday morning when the news is all about the threatening weather here in Missouri. In addition, it was most informative. I knew that those pictures were pleasing but I was not aware of the Triangle Rule. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

I gotta have more coffee and then look at this again. You know I'm a math girl at heart....I want to study those pictures. I had NO IDEA! I've been a triangle dork!
Oh no no no! Unless you're installing molding, I am a firm believer that math should just keep its nose outta my pretty rooms!
(Of course, this triangle decorating thing does make sense. Definitely a rule for me for flower arranging...)
:)
Huh! Well, I'll be -- all those triangles truly do help me understand color placement in rooms! What a neat lesson in color and arrangement!
You're genius. TRUE genius!
And, just for fun...
