Wall Magic

Recently, I have been working on a new collection of wall art, so I have been looking for inspiration for new ways to use the blank wall space in my home. Walls are the perfect way to express ourselves in our homes. There are many options to dress nursery walls that can express any style. Take a unique approach and consider other options to traditional canvas or framed art.

RETRO: Collections are a great way to invite the “curious” into our home. Whether on a wall or on a shelf, any time you can show off your latest finds the better. People love exploring your treasures and often have a story of their own that they can relate to your unique choices. I love the games this person placed on this wall in the room below.

BOHEMIAN: Add a playful zoo reference above the bed. Faux animal trophies have been a recent trend. Anthropologie carries some fun papier-mâché versions, or you can get crafty and make your own.

VINTAGE: Homemade silhouettes, cut out from favorite fabrics, make the perfect backdrop sky to then layer a clothesline of art. Walls that are re-translated and transcend the obvious are always great.

MODERN: Adhesive wall decals are a great alternative to framed art. A simple translation in a graphic element can result in dramatic results. Mix and match color against black and white.

ECLECTIC: Silly and eclectic wall design leads to a fantastic work in progress. It never has a planned look about it but always looks organized—the eclectic wall is always dynamic. A fun pinata and handmade handkerchief banner show a pure expression of those who live there—unfiltered and unedited is best.
