2014 is here and with every year, we change. We drop a habit. Alter or lookout on life. Pick up a healthier lifestyle. Even change the area around us. But after all that cash we dropped this holiday season, we’re left sprucing up via accessories – rather than a complete overhaul. So, here are 3 easy ways to spruce up your home.
Add more still life art to a room. Specifically a room that guests typically congregate during gatherings. Art is the easiest form of minimizing empty space and giving the illusion of color in a monotone or white walled splattered room. As a great conversation piece, you can play a pseudo-art aficionado while entertaining company, or create your own interpretation when alone. And as art is a continual growing aspect of our culture, original works tend to appreciate in value. But don’t think you have to break the bank for the sake of art, prints are typically available for purchase through major galleries such as Saatchi Online.
Accessorize your boudoir or living area with one of a kind pillows and throws. ORISHIBORI, a high-end, handmade home décor line recently launched and spicing up rooms one item at a time. Oriana, designer and stylist behind ORISHIBORI, has taken her love of hand dying via Shibori, an ancient Japanese method of organic dye techniques, to create never exactly the same pieces. Add it to solids for subtle, chic change or take it to the next level with print on print action.
