The '60s are back!
A current hot design trend is the 1960’s- juxtaposed style, graphic detail & unexpected color pairings. Art is a major factor in pulling all of these elements together. Regardless of the particular medium, everything always looks better in a frame. One thing to recognize is that while color trends come and go, one combination that will ALWAYS remain classic is Black & White.
This goes not only for upholstery and art, but also for framing. This Hepplewhite Settee piece, from Art That Fit’s Biltmore Collection was perfectly finished with the black & white frame combination. Check out our Gallery for a custom frame collection that consists of more clean-lined frames, popping your wall in pure Black & White finishes.
At the Humane Society we created a cute photo op area for owners of newly adopted pets. We wanted it to feel fun, but also warm and somewhat formal - the idea of formal mixed with fun and playful seemed like an unexpected pairing - it worked out quite well! We added a vinyl wall covering with a silk damask look, a newly upholstered Victorian sofa and modern graphic art, “Dogs III” by Soraya Chemaly, from Renaissance. Although people went bananas over the art, what made it truly unique and fresh was the wide, double-stacked, ornate custom framing from Larson-Juhl’s Sophia collection that completed it.
Often the colors we select (or don't) are a source of compliments. This office lounge is the perfect example. It belongs to the president of a hauling company, a female, who wanted the lounge of her office to feel chic and professional, but just “a tiny bit girly.” Notice the palette of gray, brown and taupe, made girly with just a few accessories. Some splashes of pink let you know that a female dwells here. The feminine lines of the Biltmore furniture artwork were ideal - without being too literal - especially with the clean, strong black frame. If and when she leaves the company, all of those girly elements of the room can certainly go with her, while the office itself will remain gender neutral. |
