First Comes Art, Then Comes Decour...

Avid art enthusiasts, such as myself, have designed entire rooms around a piece of art. Art can be used to complement the palette of a space, to round out the feeling of the room or it can be the center piece of your design image. Each of the following rooms, featured in Metropolitan Home, were designed to around a single piece of art.

The white walls and minimalist flooring (stained, polished concrete) does not compete with the work displayed. The decor was put together by Male-Cahlin partners.

J'adore...

Dining chairs speak for themselves... the white wall pieces add to the aesthetic of the space without taking away from the focal point...

Loving the white bean rug... white rugs - impractical though they may be - are gorgeous, especially against a dark floor....

Floor to ceiling windows give amazing light which is crucial if a work of art is the centerpiece of your room. Again, we see the white wall sculptures... perfect...
