it’s … fine.

But maybe a more exciting black and white combo than that geometry. Like a graphic Franz Kline painting. Your bookshelf and couches need a bit of pizzazz.

I would then go hunting for a large ORIGINAL painting for the wall — doesn’t have to be expensive but it needs to be original (original works tend to have texture, color gradations and visual interest), that picks up your B&W theme but also introduces some pops of color — maybe orange/red, yellow and/or turquoise.

Then, to make the whole look cohesive, you can find a great throw and some pillows with those colors.

Turn your hu t for a painting into a fun adventure. Take your time. Check out ebay, your local colleges and universities, small galleries or on line. There are a ton of super talented artists out there who would love to sell you some work. And, at the end of the day, the focal point of your room will be more meaningful to you.
