December 7, 2009 Straight and Curvy
Avoid the urge to keep everything uniform and boxy in shape. Select a sculptural sofa to sit beneath bold, graphic artwork and opt for an hourglass shaped lamp to top a heavy rectilinear side table. Soft against sleek and sexy against streamlined is a surefire hit!
My favourite pieces blend opposing influences, like this intricately carved Bergere chair which is instantly updated with a bold, graphic stripe. Dressed in fanciful florals this chair would be stuffy, but streamlined stripes shows a different side.
