Tastefully Layered Sitting Room

Layers of color and pattern are the key to the sitting room's charm. The furniture draws color inspiration from the abstract art, while the bold pattern of the area rug offsets the painting's free-flowing brushstrokes.

While the abstract painting has a flurry of activity, the grid-like pattern of the area rug is a stabilizing visual force in the room.

Exotic Charm in Dining Room

Behind the dining table, an arched alcove houses an exotically grained sideboard and a pair of cobalt lamps. The abstract painting juxtaposes the printed wallpaper for a refreshing twist.
