A Room Designed Around Art!

It is so nice to have an inspiration when designing a space. It may be an existing floor covering, or an antique piece that has been handed down from generation to generation. My favorite is a great piece of art! I love letting a piece of art dictate what may end up in a space. My good friend Maureen Chatfield just painted a piece that is simply lovely and would lend itself to a soothing swedish style space.. so I thought I would have fun with it and pair the painting up with some great room pieces! Here goes nothing!! Let me know what you would add to a space inspired by this painting!

To layer over woven rug-Marc Phillips/Antiqua

A fabulous slip covered sofa such as Lucca- Lucca & Co

Love this Coffee Table by Tara Shaw!

Gilded iron lamps-1st Dibs!




Resin side tables in bronze tone-1stDibs, for a touch of modern!






Every Swedish inspired space must have a piece from Tone on Tone!
