A monochromatic color palette in a large scale piece of art or inside a home can be tricky to pull off without feeling oppressive or too blah. But lately I've been seeing more installations with interesting objects that are of a similar hue and I just cannot get enough of them. I think they work particularly well as a standalone collage or as a display focal point in a room. Here's some of my inspiring finds.

These tabletop installations are styled and photographed by Swedish graphic design student, Hilda Grahat. Her blog is top notch and full of more vintage goodies and gorgeous photography. You can buy postcards of all of these colorful installations here too.

Anthony Zinonos is a collage artist out of the UK whose been making the rounds on the design blogs recently. Known for minimal, irreverent and geometric collages, this particular color series is a bit of a departure from his usual style, but I find it stunning nonetheless.

This lovely flickr set, styled and shot to mimic a similar color-themed calendar from the 80s.

Maurizio Pellegrin's work uses fabric, geometric shapes, and found objects juxtaposed in an incredibly tight composition. There's a vaguely nostalgic feel to it that I really dig as well.
