Inspiration for Art Above the Bed
There are certain spots in the home that almost demand artwork: the area above a sofa, the space above a fireplace mantle, and of course, the spot above the bed. In fact, the latter is also one of the most popular spots for our clients to ask us to hang artwork.
Hanging Artwork in the New York City Home of Jessica Chastain
We were fans of actress Jessica Chastain long before we were lucky enough to get to work in her home. But, working in her home made us even bigger fans. In case you haven’t seen the most recent issue of Architectural Digest where her New York City apartment was profiled, it’s absolutely stunning.
Trend we Love: Sculptural Wall Art
If you’re sick of your current wall art situation, then maybe it’s time to think outside the frame. More and more lately, we’ve seen our clients forgoing standard works like paintings and prints for three-dimensional, sculptural wall art. The effect is more unique and gallery like than any 2-D piece, and there are nearly as many style and media options as you’d find with framed art.
How Much Room Should Wall Art Take Up?
When you move into a new home, the idea of filling hundreds of square footage of blank walls can seem daunting. You are faced with questions like what pieces to hang where, whether certain works should hang solo or be clustered together, and of course, how to determine the ratio of blank wall space to that which is filled with art.
Art Ideas for Above Kitchen Cabinets
It can be one of the most awkward spaces in your home: the area between the top of your kitchen cabinets and your ceiling. In New York City, where converted warehouses, lofted sleeping areas, and historic brownstones make high ceilings common, coming up with art ideas for above kitchen cabinets can be especially challenging. But don’t give in to the temptation to simply ignore the area altogether.
Outdoor Art Exhibits Around New York City This Summer
New York City isn’t exactly know as a place for outdoor enthusiasts. Many of the best reasons to visit or live in New York–galleries, museums, restaurants, shopping, theater–are indoors. But if you prefer to spend the warm summer months with the sun shining on your face (we don’t blame you!) there are still many ways to enjoy New York outdoors, too. One of our favorites is touring the city’s many outdoor art events that take place each summer season. Here’s a quick rundown of a few of the best.
Top Spring Design Events Around New York City
It’s officially spring! And with the changing seasons comes one of New York City’s busiest times in the arts and design communities. From world-renowned furniture shows, to city-wide design programming, and art exhibits that draw crowds in the tends of thousands, here are the top spring 2016 design and art events in New York City.
Hanging a Japanese Byobu Screen
While Chinoiserie might be a huge trend in interior design at the moment, one of our favorite Asian-inspired looks comes from Japan: decorative, folding Byobu screens. These joined wooden panels were originally used to block drafts (the name Byobu roughly translates to “protection from wind” in Japanese), they’re now a popular collectors piece and decor item.
Holiday Events in New York City For Art, Craft & Design Lovers
The holiday season in New York City is unlike anywhere else. Between the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the iconic Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, and the Times Square Ball Drop, New Yorkers have access to some of the biggest and most beloved holiday events in the world.
How to Arrange a Collection on a Wall
One of the biggest wall art trends we’ve seen over the last few years isn’t even technically “wall art” at all. More and more, both our clients and the interior designers we work with are opting to display wall “collections” instead. Whether it’s a large set of vintage bottles, a collection of road signs, or an assortment of straw hats, the category of what constitutes wall art is ever-expanding.
