Striking art injects energy into this neutral, classic interior, giving it an exciting, contemporary edge. The dark frames help it link beautifully with the other black accents threaded throughout and create a sense of symmetry. The central picture is flanked by two smaller ones, while the sofa itself is balanced by matching lamps and slinky side tables at each end. To give this vibrant yellow a context, it is picked up on the cushion and even on the parrot prints in the dining area. The art above the armchair opposite has softer tones but is similarly abstract, for a harmonious feel.
