Welcome to The Monthly Muse, a series all about mood-boards. Each month I’ll be pulling together inspiring images to create a visual composition as a creative exercise, just for fun.

Creamy browns and a pop of vermillion red. This palette is all about lines, art and organic shapes. Wood accents, mid-century design, film photography and furniture silhouettes.. A classic combo that brings inspiration for design and curating interiors.

The playfulness of charcoal and paint combined with structured geometric lines.
