Remaining Neutral
When most people hear the word “mural”, they may think of a brightly painted wall or possibly even a child’s room or nursery. A lot of artworks can have a muted palette and still be oh-so-striking. Examples include grisaille or sepia-toned works of art. Intrigued? Let’s take a look:
The room on the left showcases a series of Piranesi etchings while the dining room on the right features a full mural.
I love how in these two rooms there are some nice shots of color against the relative neutrality of the art.
This is a guest room which features gorgeous trompe l’oeil panels along both the top and bottom of the wall and a gold-leafed canopy framing a fresco. Lucky, lucky guest.
I hope you’ve seen the benefits of remaining neutral. Until next time!
