Color Block Wall Decor

July 30, 2010 by Jane T Leave a Comment

Some time ago I ran across this image of a color block wall made up of scrap wood in a variety of colors.  Something about its rustic nature and sense of imperfection resonated with me. The random layout has a modern vibe while the individual (salvaged?) boards painted in various shades had me thinking vintage. Naturally, I saved the picture.

You know how it is when you see something then soon after you start noticing it everywhere.  That’s what happened next.  Each time I looked at a magazine or a designer’s portfolio, there it was — that multicolor wall, only this time, as artwork. What they all had in common were colors used to mirror those of the accessories and furniture.

Still, it’s important to observe all the elements of a room’s design.  If you are like me, see something and think “Oh, no, that is so not me,” I say take a second look.  Seeing an object in the right setting is often the only way to understand that it might work for you after all.
