Avant-garde + classic

It seems that the picture is the unconditional center of the living room, aesthetic and semantic, and other furnishings are just a frame for it. This is true, but only in part. The picture is also a reference point. Other objects begin to "manifest" gradually: the eye falls on the picture, then on the chocolate brown coffee table, and then on the milky white fireplace and armchairs.
EFFECT as if gradually emerging objects arise from the fact that the walls, the portal of the fireplace and the armchair are of the same color. They contrast with the picture not only in color and brightness, but also in style. These subjects are designed in an elegant and restrained classic, so restrained that it (somewhere in the philosophical plane) almost merges with minimalism. This explains the unity of the interior, consisting of such disparate things.
