Adding a colorful piece of art to a room that is mostly decorated in warm neutral tones can yield a welcome change — see the desert lights on 1stDibs that include elements of beige, gray, black, blue and more. There have been many well-done artworks of this subject over the years, but those made by Stefanie Schneider, Ricky Cohete, Mark Klett, Slim Aarons and Formento & Formento are often thought to be among the most beautiful.
