I have a decorating theory that goes something like this:
What if you begin with a simple room and a few simple furnishings…
… and then add three great things:
-a square, off-center painting (off-center is key, here!)
-a wall-mount library lamp in oil-rubbed bronze, and
-a dark block-print fabric on the settee cushion
And just like that, the room goes from sloop-eyed yawn to catch-your-breath gorgeous!
