The silhouette was one of the fashionable hobbies of the early twentieth century — the so-called shadow-like portraits carved from black paper were so called at the time. Furniture Company Designers Giusti Portos offer to base the idea of ​​a silhouette to create a sophisticated interior

TRADITIONAL silhouette is a black figure on a milky white background. You can soften this color combination - instead of black, use dark brown in the interior, and cream or pinkish-beige instead of white. As an intermediate tone, take a complex greenish-beige-brown hue.

THREE basic shade, no more - it is necessary to strictly endure this condition. And then options are possible: either it will be, like here, light furniture and accessories on the background of dark walls, or, on the contrary, dark on the background of light. Be sure to decorate the walls with framed silhouettes and arrange the backlighting so that it gives beautiful clear shadows. Lanterns, candles, flowers - to taste.
