Lower pieces preserve more of the wall and window line, so the eye travels farther. This is especially helpful in rooms with low ceilings or busy views.
Shape the room
Try a low media console, a coffee table with a thin top, or a floor-level basket. Balance the low profile with one tall element such as a plant, curtain, or artwork.
Let it earn its place
Contrast keeps the room from feeling flat; a low horizon makes the vertical moments more noticeable.
