This way you can play a bit with contrasts and combinations of different color ranges.
The centerpiece must be a decorative element that stands out and attracts attention. It is the key that sets your style. Are you more of a luxurious combination or a Nordic and minimalist style? Depending on your answer you will opt for one or another decoration option.
