The Great Frame Debate

July 22, 2015

After showing the gold foil quote art I found at #HomeGoods on Monday, I went looking for some fresh gallery wall inspiration. While looking through images a really perplexing questions came to mind…what frame color is best for a gallery wall display–white, black, gold or a mix?

While that might sound like an easy question to answer, there are decorating pros and cons with each frame color making the decision a tough one.

So to answer the question and to give me an opportunity to share a few design tips with you, I thought we’d tackle The Great Frame Debate once and for all!

Affordable Home Decor: Look what $50{ or less} will buy you!

February 3, 2015

Who besides me loves a great deal? When it comes to decorating my house, I love nothing more than finding a great looking item at an incredible price. I am constantly shopping at big box stores like HomeGoods and TJ Maxx for budget friendly decor and just recently started shopping H and M Home.

I’ve always shopped H and M for inexpensive fashion accessories and was thrilled to learn that they offer home products. Just like the jewelry and clothing that H and M sells, the home decor pieces aren’t investment pieces that will last a lifetime. Their items are great for seasonal updates and if you love to change out your decor on a frequent basis like me, the H and M home prices allow you to do that without guilt.

I did a little surfing this weekend on the H and M site and found lots of items that I really love. Here are six items that have great style and would be great for a end-of-winter decor update.

Brass accessories are a hot trend and this beautiful swan would make a wonderful tabletop statement. I’d use it to hold lush green plant or beautiful orchid. Brass Swan $14.95

Another hot trend this spring is floral decor. You can mix this floral duvet with solid colored linens to create a really great look for your bedroom. Floral Duvet Cover $49.95

This gold tray is a great buy and would look stunning on a vanity or bar card. Gold Tray $14.95

I think every household in America owns that black and white pillow covers from Ikea so I’m happy to see a new kid on the block. This classic black and white stripe will never go out of style and at this price you can’t go wrong. Striped Pillow Cushion $5.95

As a bookshelf accessory or flower vase, this textured glass vase packs and lot of style for a small price. Glass Vase $19.95

When it comes to picture frames this marble finish is a stylish accent that will work with any style decor. Marble Look Picture Frame $9.95

Happy Shopping!

THREE TIPS FOR DECORATING WITH BLACK & WHITE WALL DECOR

February 27, 2014

I love the look of black and white wall décor but often times if your décor style is something other than modern or contemporary it can be challenging to decorate with. Here are three design tips that might make the task of decorating with black and white wall décor a little easier!

1. BLACK and WHITE WALL DECOR DOESN’T HAVE TO BE ALL ART

With a more transitional or eclectic décor style mix things up a bit by combing traditional artwork with other decorative objects or mirrors. The wall grouping below is a great example of traditional botanical prints being paired with a black framed mirror and tortoise shells. There is a traditional undertone but the overall feel is more eclectic and personalized.

2. USE BLACK and WHITE ARTWORK TO CREATE UNIFORMITY & RHYTHM

Black and white artwork hung as a collection and hung close together creates symmetry and balance within a room. This option is also great when you have a large wall that needs impact but you don’t want to invest in a single piece of over-sized art.

* Ikea is your best and most economical source when you need to buy multiple frames in the same style

3. MAKE THE BLACK and WHITE STATEMENT EVEN STRONGER WITH A COMBO OF BLACK & WHITE MATTS

A great way to make your black and white wall décor statement even stronger is by framing your art in wide black AND white matts. Alternate the matt colors for visual balance and keep the picture frames all the same color so the look isn’t too busy.
