Art Inspiration

Within popular culture grey can often be shorthand for the mundane – neither one thing or another. Yet when considering interior design and how it translates to your own home, grey has proven itself time and time again to be one of the strongest and most versatile options available. Coming in an array of hues and textures, I love combing grey with the classic combinations of black and white throughout the home – complimenting and enhancing any colour combination you put with it.  However as with most things you can have too much of a good thing and its all too easy to use these tones repeatedly; leaving everything throughout the home looking overly muted and (dare we say) a little drab…  For us as a family, it’s so important that each room has a personality of its own, with the choice of complimentary colours ensuring it meets its needs. As you can see from our living room below, the decor very much exposes my ongoing obsession with greys and blacks and I am looking to balance out that side of the room with a colourful piece of art work on the opposite wall. Something brimming with bright colours such as pink and yellow will create an exciting and cheerful juxtaposition.

It’s now six months since we welcomed our gorgeous son Archie into the world and I’m desperate to do something creative.  Trying to decorate a whole house with a little bambino in the mix means we don’t have a huge amount to spend on budget-busting piece of art so (gulp) I’ve decided to create my own.  Kill two birds etc. And whilst I doubt I’ll be troubling St Martin College’s class of 14, I can’t wait to give it a go.

Below is a small selection of art I’ve picked out to help create a mood board for inspiration and whilst my current focus is the living room wall, this will help form ideas for the rest of the house…  But let’s see how I get on with this project first though. Wish me luck!
