Despite the lingering snow, the birds know that spring has officially arrived and design trends reflect their renewed presence. Bird motifs occupy every facet of home decor and have been the most popular image in interior design since the time of the Egyptians. Many designers
like to plan interiors around artwork featuring bird life. In the photo below, the owl painting inspires the rich color scheme for all the furnishings in the living room.
