When decorating a space of any kind... It is all about balance. Sometimes an arrangement of items that are symmetrical... a pair of candlesticks, a pair of bookcases, a pair of chairs are preferable. It can give a more formal feel & is sometimes the safe route when setting up your dining room table for the holidays, or arranging furniture in your great room.
Otherwise an asymmetrical arrangement that looks balanced is about height, shape, and texture or color. A lamp may be balanced by books and a framed picture on a console table. Two smaller thinner containers paired with one piece that has more visual weight to it might work well to decorate a mantle.
Balancing colors, shapes and sizes when doing any kind of arranging whether it be in a cabinet, on bookshelves, or on a tabletop will make it more visually pleasing.
It is hard for some people to place things well and for a space or room or area to look balanced and well put together without looking like they copied a furniture showroom grouping.
Sometimes just placing items, arranging what you already have, hanging artwork in a room, and accessorizing bookcases are chores to you but would be a great task left to a designer.
