Question: I have always been attracted to whimsical furniture and decorations such as contemporary curved sofas, brightly painted chairs, and tramp art. While I know what I like, I don't know how to make it work in a way that it all looks good together. Can you give me some tips.
Answer: You are right, whimsical furnishings and pop art are great fun, but when put together, you can end up with too much of a good thing. Here are some ideas for combining your favorite items.
Start with a neutral color scheme as the backdrop for your fun and creative furnishings and decor. Choose a calming color from your art piece and use that color to paint your walls and even as the upholstery color for your larger furnishing items. Your sofa can have a fun design but have still a neutral color.
Choose a bright fun color or two from your favorite
wall art pieces to and purchase accent furniture match. You don't have to make everything matchy, but just try to stick to the same two or three colors when choosing your fun and whimsical pieces and everything will go together just fine.
If trying to coordinate different colors and styles is too much of a chore to you then stick to all neutrals and add one color at a time until you are comfortable. If you are looking for tramp art or folk art that is neutral, you can try these
Chiara Wooden Wall Plaques set. They have a pretty whimisical design that anyone who likes simplistic tramp art or folk art would love while sticking to the natural wood material and earth tone colors.
