Tip #1: To create a serene environment, use an understated, neutral palette (both with furniture and paint). This serves to accentuate art pieces (see above).

Tip #2: Place tall sculptural pieces on low horizontal surfaces, such as tables and built-in shelving units to create vertical interruptions for the eye, creating more visual interest and variation.

Tip #3: Combine directional lighting to spotlight art and add low floor and table lamps to create more private spaces for reading or relaxing.

Tip #4: Select amorphous furniture made of solid, natural materials like wood and stone to convey dynamism and a casual atmosphere while preserving an elegant, sophisticated aesthetic.
