    Want to avoid cookie-cutter decor? Quirky artwork, textiles, and lamps can all add personality to a room. Take a look at how the following interiors steer clear of being ho-hum with the addition of a single over-the-top element that somehow works.

  • Nudie Blues

    The classic nude form makes for a museum-worthy statement, but in bright electric blue, the traditional sculpture becomes a truly modern (and unexpected) masterpeice.

  • Have a Seat

    Skateboards are completely unexpected in this super sophisticated, neutral-colored master bedroom. The sexy graphics and bold colors energize an otherwise quietly styled room.
