Style Idea: Abstract Painting in a Classic Design Living Room 

 

This living room has a beautiful, classic design which is enhanced by the wonderful abstract painting above the sofa.   The subtle color on the wall sets off the furnishings and painting beautifully, and adds welcoming warmth to the room.   The painting reminds me a bit of Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park paintings which I love.   While symmetry can sometimes be static, the blue color in the painting, and as accents in the lamps, pillows, chairs and small objects on the coffee table helps to move the eyes around this gorgeous room.   Love how the rectangular forms in the painting and furniture are repeated.  

If you follow the Ocean Park paintings link, it will take you to the Corcoran Gallery (in Washington DC) website and information about an exhibit in 2012, of Diebenkorn’s paintings.   On their website they have a wonderful video showing the paintings.
