So excited that my new art arrived back from framing this week to complete my monochrome art wall in my open plan living area; its a difficult space as the ceiling here is fairly low though opens up to the double height pitched roof to the left. We used to have a television mounted on this wall hence the plug but since the addition of a formal lounge I don’t feel the need for one here, however the plug remains… and gets used an awful lot for device charging – perfect spot to browse online!
I really need to invest in a decent camera as my wall colour is not yellow but off white!
When creating a picture wall you can mix up your frame colours and types, personally I think the having them the same means the art is the focal point, however all black and one white would look great as a contrast. Generally art layout is up to the individual, however when located behind a piece of furniture it is better to finish at the same height off the ground, it is easier on the eye and lets your room work cohesively.
I have been coveting this Ollie Eksell print for a while. It was released in 1999 and is called Cacao Eyes (Eyes of Cocoa). The design was originally a logo designed for Mazetti, a Swedish chocolate manufacturer. The hint of Chocolate makes it extra special don’t you think!
Of course I like nice things… so when I saw this gorgeous print I had to have it!
The G print part of the GREY series from Playtype is a popular choice for lovers of typography. When you can taking your art wall down to around 40cm from your skirting board creates a great focal point.
And finally The Coffee Guide arrived all the way from Sealoe in Sweden to sit on my kitchen bench! I chose a white frame to stand out against the black wall behind. Of course we have some great black and white art in NZ as well which I have dotted about the place!
I do have one more gorgeous print to hang, but await the finish of my bathroom and entrance makeover (starts Monday – I’ll keep you posted)
