Art For A Spring Inspired Living Room
Re-imagine your space or spruce up your interior with some Spring inspired furnishings and complementing art.
Art should enhance without taking away from elements like home furnishings, but rather ‘marry up’ with them. Essentially, the perfect art work is paramount to raise a space and hold meaning to the rest of your interior.
If your design style is not influenced by fad interior styles and you are not a ‘slavish trend follower’ you are more than likely going to find a piece that stands the test of time and you will enjoy for years to come.
Furnishings in rusty tones, which is basically a combination of hues of browns, reds and orange, will bring a calmness to your space making it more likely to encourage relaxation. Including bold and elegant light fixtures in similar tones, can be that all important conduit to bring life into your artwork, no matter how minimalistic it may be.

My Holistic View on ChatGPT

Paying Homage To Sardinian Textiles
