The neutral tones of the runner look great against the hot pink stool upholstery. Note: continuing your color scheme throughout your space is important (stick to your theme). The subtle hints of gold and pink are even carried upstairs through elegant artwork.
Just a little fem is all you need to funk-ify your foyer.
