Design Inspiration: Art Wall

24 Jun

Inspired by Twitter convo yesterday on adding color into your home, I’m posting a few of my favorite inspirational art walls.  Since art is a great way to introduce color into your home, an art wall takes that a step further and allows you to play with different, not to mention contrasting, colors, pattern and scale.  

You could frame a grouping of solid colored paintings as in this living room.

In this Tampa home styled by Nate Berkus, the color palette is mostly softly toned browns, chocolate, gray and tan with a bit of navy here and there.  But a single painting in bright, sunflower-yellow adds a refreshing pop of color to this great room.  The painting is by José María Yturralde.

 And what an ingenious idea this is:  framed vintage Vogue covers in this apartment styled by Jonathan Adler for Liz Lange in Domino Magazine (RIP).

Finally, you could go for an oversized vintage poster to add some color and intrigue to a blah room.

 So, what are your thoughts?  Do any of you have art walls?
