It's a great coincidence that the calendar year renews in winter, a time when we spend more hours than usual in our homes. After lots of days indoors, the desire to refresh your space can start to feel urgent—especially if you live in a small apartment. But how to do it in a low-lift and cost-effective way?
Some of the most intriguing art collections blur the boundaries between what in a space is art, and what's...everything else. Many of our Artist-Made objects and originals are pieces that beg for interaction or fall into the category of functional art. We believe that Art is for Everyone, everywhere—and that includes your kitchen, your nightstand, and your desk. If you're running out of wall space or just want to make a minor adjustment to your surroundings, nestling small art objects or letterpress prints into your environment is a wonderful way to nurture the organic, living being that is your home while expanding your collection.
Layering shapes, patterns and textures is a styling trick that our team likes to use in their own apartments. This adds dynamism, personality, dimensionality and the kind of visual intrigue that can spark conversations with new visitors. Another tip: if you strive to keep your small space on the quiet, calm side, limit your tableaus to specific areas of the room while leaving other areas sparse so the eyes have a place to rest. For the ride-or-die minimalists, we SEE you—a small addition will go a long way in your home. Maximalist? Pile it on.
