Ahhh…spring is in the air.
And with it, the urge to redecorate is strong. As the days get longer and spring gets seductively closer, I find myself drawn to fresh color combinations to bring a new look and pop of color to my home decor. It’s true you don’t need to spend a lot of money to bring new life to a tired space–sometimes just a new coat of paint will do. If you don’t want to invest that much time–or potential mess–in a decorating project, try adding new wall art.
For Spring 2016, I am working with two fresh palettes for my abstract flower series on paper: Green, Yellow, Navy and Teal, Orange, Yellow, Brown.
Original art is surprisingly affordable, and with a little browsing you can find unique, affordable wall art that will not only accent your space but will be a unique reflection of you as well.
I redesign my living room mantle to reflect the change of seasons and my mood. For the fall and winter, I used this black and white floral abstract as a focal piece, bringing a modern design element to compliment the more rustic natural artifacts.
But with spring just around the corner, I tend to want more color, so using the same white frame I simply removed the black mat and filled it with an 8×10 flower abstract from my Teal Multi Series. See how that simple pop of color really changes the feel of the space?
Using original art as a focal design element not only creates a space that is uniquely yours, but switching it out as the mood strikes gives you the opportunity to freshen the look of any space within a budget. If my art is not quite your style, there are many other amazing artists on Etsy to help you on your way. Head on over and browse to find your design style.
