Hanging a bright fuchsia painting above your bed is an unexpected way to introduce a fun, graphic element to your sleep space. Keep things in balance with neutral walls and white bedding, asthis Austin renterdid. To top it off, pair your artwork with an equally bold lumbar pillow and a patterned throw.
