Frescoes
After visiting the Getty Villa the other day I am still impressed by how current some of the design motifs of the ancient Greeks and Romans are. I was particularly struck by the colors used in their frescoes and mosaics. Any of the color schemes used in these frescoes from Pompeii could be used to produce a beautiful room today.
