For me, redesigning a room or a corner provides character. I love the idea of things flowing in a coherent and sometimes opposite manner. Some would say it's feng shui, a spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy; others, would say yin and yang, complementary opposites. Nevertheless, It's the interplay of colors and shapes that energize me.
For this post, I will show you how you can add a bit of (visual) flavor just by grouping like items and putting complementary colors together.
We rented this beautiful home by the ocean during the summer and it has all the elements of modernism: the main colors in and around the house are a vibrant green, yellow and orange.
Below are areas that I thought could maximize the look of corners in the rooms: deck table, window seats, kitchen and bedroom. I didn't buy a single thing, all I did was heighten colors in the house by rearranging items and mixing some of the harmonious decorative pieces.

I took colorful pillows from different rooms and assembled them around one center pillow to make a dramatic seating arrangement.
A little touch of flair is added on the small table by mixing and matching the colorful plates, thus enhancing the colors of the pillows.
Ta- Da! A romantic corner to behold.
BEFORE- Chairs facing the fireplace
