New Soulful Combinations: 5 Finds for a Layered, Living Space
The most captivating rooms tell layered stories—of heritage, artistry, and intentional design. This new edit brings together five pieces from our archive that haven’t graced our Decor Spotlight before—each offering personality, texture, and sculptural presence. Discover how these selections, when paired thoughtfully, can curate a space that feels both deliberate and deeply lived-in.
1. Girl with Pony
Why we love it
- A modern‑meets‑classical portrait with Renaissance poise—poised rider and sculptural silhouette set against a saturated crimson field that energizes any setting.
- The sitter’s serene blue eyes offer a calm counterpoint to the bold red, balancing intimacy and drama.
-
Perfect as a stand‑alone focal point above a console or nestled into a layered salon wall.
Style tip → Hang it above a minimalist console in a transitional living room. Pair with a sculptural ceramic vase to mirror its formality but soften the color palette.
2. Silver-Plated Fish Platter
Why we love it
- A playful, sculptural accent in solid metal with a silvery patina—vintage whimsy with timeless sophistication.
- Its fluid form and mid‑20th‑century character make it a versatile piece for styled vignettes or culinary displays.
-
A generous 18½″ × 5½″ size that commands attention without overpowering.
Hilda Design
Style tip → Use it as a bar cart “catchall” or a coffee-table centerpiece. Lean into its kinetic form by offering it a modern brass tray as the base for layered styling.
3. Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup Brass Pendant Light
Why we love it
- Mid‑century brass pendant with a timeless, sleek profile and warm patina.
-
A subtle sculptural element—perfect for blending functional lighting with refined design.
Style tip → Hang a pair over a sideboard or console to create a soft glow and sculptural presence. The warm brass tone harmonizes with both modern and eclectic interiors.
4. Cactus in Bloom
Why we love it
- A lush vertical composition with a sun‑washed palette of ochre, sage, and alabaster—complex enough to act as a neutral anchor.
-
Brings organic structure and tonal warmth to a room, fitting Desert Boho, Organic Modern, or contemporary schemes.
Style tip → Hang this painting above a console styled with desert-inspired objects (like terracotta pots or stoneware), creating a quiet dialogue between art and object.
5. Ludvik Volak Oak & Leather 'Bratislava' Chairs (Pair)
Why we love them
- A duo of oak and leather chairs that combine sculptural form with textural richness.
-
The oak’s warm grain and leather seat offer a timeless elegance and tactile contrast.
Style tip → Position them flanking a low coffee table or lounge area. Their sculpted curves echo the shapes in “Cactus in Bloom,” enhancing material harmony.
Putting It All Together
Imagine walking into a softly sunlit living room. Centered on a light-toned console sits the Silver-Plated Fish Platter, its patina catching the glow of two suspended Jo Hammerborg brass pendant lights—functional art in soft symmetry. Above, Girl with Pony commands the attention of the room, its crimson backdrop imbued with narrative strength.
Across the room, Cactus in Bloom rises on the wall, echoing verticality with organic grace. Below, the Ludvik Volak chairs form a sculptural conversation nook—inviting, tactile, and grounded in craftsmanship.
The interplay of bold color, fine art, sculptural lighting, and richly textured furnishings layers the space with depth and personality. It’s not just curated—it’s heartfelt.
