Using A Favorite Picture To Inspire Living Room Design

Once you have selected your subject and your hues, you can use your inspiration piece as the center of attention for your room. A larger painting can hang solo creating a focal wall. Midsize paintings can be combined with other pieces to finish a focal wall. For example, if your inspiration picture is a beach scene, you may choose to fashion your focal point as a large shelf holding the wall decor along with other nautical items like seashells and a vase filled with a sea grass display.
Using your Inspiration Artwork as a Focal Point
One other method to use your inspiration artwork to design your living room is to use the subject matter of the painting as the foundation for your room's design. For example, a vineyard painting may move you to design your living room in a Tuscan style, or an beach painting may inspire you to create a nautical theme in your living room. If you pick your color palette and your theme from your inspiration painting, they will blend amazingly well giving your living room's design a very polished, designer look. Since you are selecting colors from your painting for all of the elements in your room, all of your décor will be flawlessly coherent making your living room look like it was designed by a professional. While you are using tones from your painting throughout you living room design, you can also employ patterns and plants to pull your look together. For example, if you have a cactus in your desert painting, then bringing in a cactus in your room's décor is a great way to unify your design.
Pulling Out the Theme
By using a painting for your living room's new lay out, you will not have to worry about choosing a color palette. As you look at your inspiration painting, use the principle hue as your living room's main accent color. Then think about the other hues in the painting, so you can pick out a couple more for your decor. Have one of these other two colors a light neutral color to use as your wall color, and then you can make the other color the next accent color to increase depth and interest into your room design. So, especially if you are not really skilled at pulling complementary colors together, selecting your color palette from an inspiration decor is a fabulous technique to pick a coherent and attractive color palette.
Hues that Blend Well Together
Every memorable design needs a little of the unexpected, and your living room is without exception. Having a physical referral that you can use throughout your design ideas, makes the whole design activity easier. By picking a canvas painting that you already love to design your living room around, you are aware the colors complement each other, so you can probably make truly inspired color choices than you normally would for your design.
