Home Decorating Ideas

LEFT When looking at the picture to the left, the eye is first drawn to the light background in the wall art, but with no more interest there, the eye moves immediately to the planters on the bar and the contrast between walls and cabinetry. The small artwork is beige, brown and dark green in color and the frames are narrow and lack textural contrast. Lack of contrast and size results in a loss of interest in the wall art.

RIGHT On the right, the eye goes first to the large white urn in the wall art and then to the red vase. The eye moves immediately to the red canisters on the bar and then down to the reflection on the planter. With that information processed the eye moves to other details such as noting that the artwork frame is wide and textured. The contrast of light and dark creates texture in the frame. The eye easily distinguishes that it is looking at artwork of three large urns of different size, shape and color. This eye to brain process occurs at a significant distance.
