Add a Little Spice

I found this picture when going through a decorating site and wanted to share it with you.


I loved the sophisticated look of this Asian inspired dining room, yet how simple it is.

As you can see, the furniture is very simple. A delicate tone-on-tone leaf motif on the walls, a pair of screen paintings, and fretwork-back chairs, reminiscent of detailing commonly found in Oriental architecture, lend this dining room a dramatic Asian flair.

The high color contrast between the orange walls and the black picture frames is reflected in the style contrast between the zebra-print rug and the room's Asian-inspired elements.

Remember: your furniture doesn't need to match for your room to work. In fact, using different furniture pieces, colors and styles that compliment each other, creates a much more dramatic and interesting room than one where everything matches.
