WALL OF ART

Gallery wall in bathroom by Christina Anasta Design. 
I spent most of last week either framing artwork or visiting art galleries in Sydney. It got me thinking about how people hang their artwork. I have a wall of art in my bathroom - that's right, in my bathroom (see pic above). But I really don't see that type of placement very often. Most people usually separate their artwork or hang one or two on each wall. But a wall of art, or gallery wall, is a great way to create a bit of drama and it really does create interest on an otherwise boring wall. A collection of different artworks, preferably in different frames and sizes, draws you in, encourages you to have a closer look and is a great talking point. If you don't have artwork, try mirrors or even a cluster of empty frames. There are no set rules - if you group pieces that you love, they should work well together. And here's a handy little tip - trace your frames onto craft paper or cardboard and play with different placement options on the wall to get the layout just right.

TEAL LOVIN'


Feeling blue? Me too. Teal to be exact. It's that tricky balance of blue with just a hint of green that doesn't quite tip it over into the aqua hemisphere. I love the depth and richness of teal and I especially love it in leather and velvet. Aw Ma Gawwwd! It's a great colour for winter and it pairs really well with timbers and warmer Autumnal colours. It's especially good with copper and bronze. I wouldn't hesitate to paint an entire room in the colour. It's that good!
