• How much art is too much art?
If you are an art collector or an art enthusiast, then curating an art wall must be a perfect option for you. An oversized painting or a photograph with bold dramatic frame can set the mood of the space. Go for bold art piece against a white backdrop and make it a center of attention. Black and white photograph will add character to the space against a printed armchair and a full grown monstera plant. Or you can go for abstract artwork against a neutral backdrop.
• Hang a sculptural sconce!
If you like warm ambient lighting, then go for a sculptural sconce in your place. Sconces add an extra source of light without taking much space. Vintage or sizeable contemporary light fixture will draw attention and the goal is to evenly light the room. Keep the sconces slightly above the direct eye line.
