Once the artwork is up, the room design feels complete. \u00a0Without art it feels like there is something missing – we liken it to a woman without her jewellery.
\n<\/p>\n

As we get closer to finishing up projects we usually delve into serious art stalking. You will see a few we have on order for projects below.<\/p>\n

We have a couple of sources for original art but for the most part our clients are buying pieces that are good quality reproductions – lithos, hand embellished giclees, – that sort of thing. \u00a0Going back to jewellery, \u00a0we’re not talking about H&M quality ‘jewellery’ (no offence there – I’ve bought a few fun things there myself) but more the better quality Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Coach quality. \u00a0Make sense?<\/p>\n

Art, in my opinion, has become very accessible. \u00a0And it can be a true expression of your personality. \u00a0So use it to add some to your home!<\/p>\n

At High Point Market last fall I noticed not only oversized art but a growing trend using portraiture. \u00a0Everything from the regal Napoleonic type or Catherine the Great type portrait to more modern pieces like the one below.<\/p>\n

Sometimes all a neutral room needs is a burst of colour in its art.<\/p>\n

Or sometimes the art pulls together what seems to be disparate colour combinations like the one below.<\/p>\n

One of our favourite genres of art is the cityscape watercolour or oil. \u00a0The grouping below is done in a very ethereal manner whisking you along in a dream.<\/p>\n

Photography as art has been trending in the past few years but is really a classic.<\/p>\n

And how chic is this to add a large modern floral above the Louis XVI fauteuil chair and antique bust?<\/p>\n

Looking at a grouping of art like below is my version of being in a candy store.<\/p>\n

Black and white or sepia toned art makes for drama against white walls.<\/p>\n

Again a single large flower in a stunning colour adds such depth to this room and an obvious focal point.<\/p>\n

Collections of framed intaglios are simply beautiful. \u00a0In earlier historical times the intaglios could have been made from plaster or gem stones. \u00a0They were often souvenirs from the travels of the wealthy. \u00a0Today some admirers collect antique ones and frame them shadow box style. \u00a0Or you can buy reproductions and add a certain understated panache to your room.<\/p>\n

Finally if you have a beautiful silk scarf hanging around that you don’t wear you can frame it as art like these Hermes scarves below.<\/p>\n

Now for a small sampling of what we’ve been ordering for clients:<\/p>\n

Susie, our decorator extrordinaire, recently installed this grouping in a hallway for a client . \u00a0This is simple elegance that you will not ever tire of.<\/p>\n

Luisa proposed these for a large kitchen either side of a fireplace. \u00a0This house is in the Scarborough bluffs area of Toronto and the back of the house overlooks a ravine. \u00a0So the neutral tones of the art doesn’t take away from the views but adds to the outdoor feeling. \u00a0The birds and butterflies are perfect.<\/p>\n

I’m waiting for these to come in for a ‘purple’ bedroom we worked on last fall. The room has antique white painted nightstands and dresser but a new upholstered headboard in the lilac shade with an area rug combining the cream and lilac. \u00a0These will be a modern but soft twist to this romantic bedroom.<\/p>\n

\"Leftbank<\/p>\n

And this we ordered in, just because. \u00a0sigh.<\/p>\n
