Playing with scale

We're playing with large scale items today.

Many times you'd think that large scale furniture or art would eat up a room; but actually the opposite happens.  Large scale pieces can make a room seem cozier, create an anchor or focal point for the room, and add tons of storage.

Here are a few favorites.

{1}  Great storage pieces in this multipurpose space.

{2}  Love this super huge headboard made from salvaged architectural elements.  You could do a similar look with an over-sized mantle as well.

{4}  We love using big art in The Design House.  It draws the eye and makes a statement in any room.

{5}  This large cabinet in a narrow bathroom adds tons of storage and doesn't look at all out of place.

What are some of your favorite over-sized pieces to use while decorating?

Happy Monday Everyone!
