This is an elegant color palette combining dark luxurious velvets with a light linen fabric that creates a timeless look. The fabric selection to the left is what I’ll be using for the living room of an one bedroom apartment in New York City.
The smooth transition of color and the perfect color combination makes this painting an elegant yet calm work of art. A single light of source emerges within this painting creating a focal point that illuminates the entire composition.
If you are fearful of fully committing to a room which covers all the walls in a room with darker colors, which is completely understandable, another option is to paint one or two walls darker. This is particularly effective for work studios where it’s essential to have perhaps a dark grey behind a workstation to add elegance and be easier on the eyes, or in interiors which have a lot of natural light.
Following up on the post yesterday about utlizing dark color palettes in spaces, here are two more beautiful and effective examples of the warmth possible going with this “off the cuff” combination. The second photo is another angle of the Ella Dining Room and Bar in Sacramento which I posted about last week. 
Following up on my last post about adding warmth to modern spaces predominantly using whites and grays is to add a fireplace and then match with a touch of an accent color, in this example the curtains. These simple elements, if possible to have a fireplace, can transform a modern space.
