If placing a painting or print next to a window, notice the view. Are there any shapes or colors that are reflected in the piece? And last but not least, soften any sharp, rectangular edges in a room with rounded shapes in your chosen artworks.

Inviting Interiors: A Fresh Take on Beautiful Rooms Hardcover – March 2, 2021

by Melanie Turner (Author), Mali Azima (Photographer)

The first book from Atlanta interior designer Melanie Turner, whose pretty work has a modern edge.

One of the room’s most striking pieces is a painting by America Martin; placed against windows, a moss backing gives it an organic feel when viewed from the outside. The open, inviting atmosphere extends to the adjoining breakfast room, which offers a sophisticated spot to dine amid contemporary furniture and art. Well-suited for leisure and hospitality, the two rooms are “easy on the eyes,” says Turner. –Jennifer Boles
