Style in Paintings

December 30, 2009

With a few simple changes, any room in your home can be an expression of who you are. Decorating your home with beautiful art is the perfect way to express your personal style and it is fun to do!

Finding art that will compliment the rest of the room will enhance every piece of decor and impress everyone who enters your abode. Pick out your favorite colour and find a theme for your space. In this living room, we chose a beach inspired theme with earthy colours in the main furniture, and earthy textures within the carpet. We then played with the simplicity of the room and added some bright blues in the decor bowl, within the  ocean inspired pillows, the side decor tables, and within the painting.

Although we love everything about this space, the painting really is the stand out piece and enhances the entire beach comfort theme. We hope you can find art that makes your home a place of inspiration, comfort, and relaxation.

Decorate in Pink

December 29, 2009

Pinks and browns are two colours that work beautifully together when they are styled well. We hope to inspire you with this very simple and trendy table setting that allows the homeowner to express their style without looking overdone.

In the image above, the theme is a 1950′s inspired setting with faux coral, shells, and starfish to give it the cool California beach vibe. The walls are painted a very light pink to offset the darker pink/orange dining chairs, and brown is worked into the furniture, the shelves, and within the lampshade.

It is easy to get this same look, you just have to do a little modifying to a small space in your home. If you don’t already have a great set of shelves, find a set at your favorite furniture store, or have one custom made. Then pick out your favorite knick knacks and decor pieces that work well within your theme. Paint your walls a very light tone of pink, and find some great chairs you can reupholster if needed in the future. Personalize your home to give every space a stylish setting.

Shades of Blue

Creating an inviting and tranquil space for the guest bed in your home is important to making your guests feel comfortable and welcome. The bed in this image is simple yet elegant, and progresses the brighter shade of blue in the headboard into a more calming shade of blue into the pillows and bedding. This gentle transition in soothing shades enhances the comfort of this space, and will help your guests sleep well in their ‘home’ away from home.

Shades of Blue

In the bed posted above we found two great pieces of beadboard wood and painted them with a more antique feel. Combining comfort and style is very easy when you bring a personalized touch and a splash of colour to any space in your home.
