This room with prints feels quiet and warm when it’s bright...

And in many cases walls are painted in dark brown or green color. Dark paint makes large spaces look smaller and more intimate. But… walls are empty and interior looks simply gloomy. The solution is to bring in bright details and décor elements. Some plants may help too (think if they can survive in low light condition though). Here an example of large wall art as a décor for modern style living room with large window from floor to the ceiling (most condos in downtown Toronto have large windows nowadays). I chose this red and yellow piece as it plays well with bright yellow sofa set and compliments texture and color of the brown...
