decorating Inspiration using Mixed Media Collage art
Proving that art does not have to match the sofa, look how sophisticated the orange tree art looks over a blue sofa. The cool blue colors of the room decorated by Ashley Whittaker contrast with the bright artwork. This artwork was digitally added to the room view to give you inspiration for how this art would look in your home. The original photo appeared in the September 2012 issue of House Beautiful.

The walls in this room are lacquered a cool gray. you can get the "Stonington Gray" paint for your home from Benjamin Moore. The sparkly surfaces add glamour to the room - notice the metallic accents of the silver lamps. I also found silver mosaic tile lamps on etsy by ledgan1.
