Three Different Art Moods for an Inviting Living Room

For this living room, we asked Haverford Gallery Director Marcie to select three works that would bring balance, personality, and a sense of flow to the space. With its rich color, inviting textures, and comfortable scale, the room called for artwork that could energize the walls while still feeling lived-in and welcoming.

Idea 1: Poets & Painters by Carly Allen Martin

Carly Allen Martin, *Poets & Painters,* Mixed media on panel, 48 x 60 in.

Carly Allen Martin’s dynamic color palette creates so much movement. It brings a liveliness to the space that is energizing and welcoming.

Idea 2: Born to Bloom Silhouette IV by Christopher Peter

Christopher Peter, *Born to Bloom Silhouette IV*, Mixed media on canvas, 48 x 60 in.

I love injecting a figure into the space. Christopher Peter’s subject is dreamy and whimsical with collaged hand made papers adding natural texture and interest.

Idea 3: Twilight Tides by Shivani Dugar
