There are classics and there are trends. Isn't it fun when classics are in?......lately, all the magazines I pick up are trending toward nature-inspired prints and furnishings (no doubt started by the likes of Williams-Sonoma and Crate and Barrel)....Well, I'm not complaining- I've always been attracted to organic forms. Reminds me of those hospital-green framed botanical and zoological prints in lab!
Anyhoo-the good thing is that they're back, in modern avatars (don't shudder in fear- I'm not going to introduce you to the dowdy decor schemes of decades past with botanical print overload...(think lumberjack plaid+loud botanical prints, and for extra points throw in one of those fans with palm tree blades-ouch!!)). Nah!
Let's look at some modern spaces, shall we?

Having difficulty visualizing this art in your space? Maybe this will help........
The framed print pictured above is available here.
(Side note: I love it when I get to see stuff in perspective- I wish more etsyians would take the initiative to do this. Side note 2- I love her space -très chic!- wouldn't I like to see the rest of her home sometime!!)

So what do you think? Could your space use art depicting flora and/or fauna? There are tons of options out there....will you bring it home?
Yes yes,many times yes to your question.I will definitely bring such art home.Loving the feather art thingy.What I would love more is bird prints.Time to search etsy for more of these.:-)
ReplyDelete@sumi, :D I loved the feather art too!
ReplyDeleteHmmm..not too much into the flora/fauna thing, but I do like that fern print!! However, that third room...I love that! The pillows and cushions in those lovely colors...i could live with that!
ReplyDeletei love flora/fauna...in small bites.

@Kamini- try it, or make it your own- you might like it. :)
ReplyDelete@Alsion. :D....are we talking edible art here? *grin*
I know you are referring to the art, but that stair runner in the first image is to die for - and I would really love to move into the second image. What an array of gorgeousness!
ReplyDelete@Leigha, :D thanks- I think it was the whole package in that first pic- the colors in the runner+the pops of turquoise and those watering cans! I could certainly do with a little nook like that! :)
