The idea of one's living space as a single work of art is intriguing. It is as though you were walking through a canvas, the difference being that you are making decisions with pieces of furniture, colors, and textures, rather than simply paint. The spaces are real spaces and they are all around you, ready to be manipulated and arranged in a pleasing manner. Empty spaces are as important in a home environment as they are in a painting on canvas. It is not at all necessary to cover spaces on walls. Walls, I've discovered may be left blank, unlike a canvas. An empty wall, with its play of light and shadow as its only decoration, creates a natural feeling of light and space that is peaceful and yet invigorating.
This particular staircase caught my eye, as the curve of the red wood invites one to go up the stairs and enjoy first the blank wall at the top and then other stunning views that are sure to follow.
