What makes a theater-inspired modern home feel different?
It usually relies on strong contrast, controlled lighting, and a clear focal point, rather than lots of ornament.
What finishes work best in this style?
Smooth plaster, matte painted surfaces, dark wood, metal details, and large panes of glass are common choices.
