How to Find Your Calm Without Leaving Home

One of the easiest ways to transform your space is with wall art. It sets the tone for the entire space, and is so simple to do with just a bit of guidance.

.
If you haven't checked out our step by step guides, get them here.
.
Basic room transformed with artwork and simple accessories
The basics of using wall art to transform a room:
    1. Select a focal wall.
    2. Size for balance.
    3. Select images that complement your existing color palette.
    4. Select coordinating art pieces that continue the theme in other ways (without fighting for attention).
    5. Pull the dominant colors and shapes into the space with textiles and basic decor items like pillows, blankets and accessories

    .

    Expand and explore stillness and breath- Transform your space with artwork and simple accessories
    .
    Artwork has a unique power to transport you anywhere. Sometimes where you need to go, is inside yourself.  Getting lost in the expansive stillness and breathing without any agenda to go or do anything at all. Lingering and savoring each second. Its easy to forget how healing that is.
    .
    Are you ready to breathe again? Slice up some cucumbers and infuse your water, savoring it's sweet simplicity, put on a expansive playlist that allows your breath to take up space, and dive into the abyss.
    .
    Expansive relaxation found in soft blues, grays, taupes, whites and pale browns. Transforming a bland space into an immersive experience with textures and colors. Streaks and line textures played throughout incorporating the line elements from the artwork into the space.

    Finishing touches for a Hawaiian theme room
    Now take the look to the next level and bring the artwork into the room in subtle ways that evoke it's feeling and depth. Mimic patterns and textures and create balance by carrying the artwork through the room.
    .
    The key? Lines, gradients, layers and softness.
    Decor Elements Checklist:
    1. A few pillows and throw blankets.
      Goal: Mimic the lines with texture and pull the colors and across the space.
    2. A couple classic textures and shapes.
      Think: Gradients and soft streaks, lines from texture allowing the shadow and touch to translate the the feeling of the artwork.
    3. Botanicals
      Think: Tall sea-grass or pampas grass that bring a touch of softness and vertical lines.

    Shopping made simple

    All the accessories shown in the completed room are found here in one simple Ideabook.  All the hard work is already done for you! Great, right? 😉

    June 23, 2022

    The 5 Cs to Refreshing Your...

    When we get unhappy with our homes we often think we need something new. New will do the trick! But if we don't carefully curate our homes, we end up on overload. Not appreciating anything we have because there isn't the space to treasure it. To feel it's impact. To give something that is important to us, it's importance in our home.

    What spaces need when you crave a reboot or when things get out of hand are the 5 Cs.
