Color and texture are common methods for bringing cohesion to the various elements of a room, but in one of the rooms at the farm, we used shape to pull it all together.

The first piece of furniture that we purchased for the farm was the nickel-plated Irvington bed.

 We then found this stainless steel side table that replicated the finial spheres of the bed.

We were excited that our $60 bid won this table at an auction of antique furniture.

We then scoured our various “collections” for other rounded shapes.

On a weekend road trip we found this sculpture that had blown off the top of an out of use courthouse.

Last Autumn we bid on this mid-century lamp at a charity auction.

A scavenger hunt through your own home (get the kids to help look for the shapes) might give you an entirely new look for a room you’ve grown bored with.
