Astrikur raudi by Kristjana S Williams available at Rise ArtWhen it comes to interior design, artistic movements are of great importance. From Art Deco to Modernism, the great artists of each generation have inadvertently influenced the style of furniture we use, the colours in our homes and even the way we live. Nowadays we have a lot of freedom in creating our home in whatever style we like the best, whether we want to look to the past, or the future, but art still plays a major role. Can you think of many homes that do not have a canvas as a feature on their wall?

 Bill by Andy Wicks (sold) at Rise Art

Art can be the basis of where we start when designing our homes, the colours and the mood of the painting can inspire us, but the time has come to stop choosing cheap reproduction prints from high-street stores, and invest in a one off or original piece of art. Luckily, a website has been created to help us all choose what piece of art will be with us, hopefully for generations; Rise Art.

Rise Art offers a range of services online, and when you join their site the first service you are greeted with is an extremely helpful quiz; it’s been designed to help you find what styles of art suit your personality and style. Once you’ve completed the quiz Rise Art can recommend artists that you might love.

Paper Planes by Alma Haser available at Rise Art

But Rise Art is more than just a recommendation site, it’s almost an art social network. You can join whether you are an artist or just interested in art. Artists can submit any new pieces of their work and self represent, whereas buyers can then vote the piece as a favourite, or even inquire to buying the piece. It’s taking the sometimes intimidating world of art galleries out of the equation, and letting absolutely anyone browse and be inspired to invest in art from the comfort of their own home.

This is great news for new artists! Breaking into the market becomes easier, and anyone who is inquisitive yet shy can still view their work.

Chloë Sevigny By Jack Addis available at Rise Art

Glamour and glitter seem to come one and the same in most elements of design, and it should be no different in your home, but it doesn’t have to be gaudy or too intense! A simple element of shimmer can lift colours, add interest to a white space, or be incorporated in large amounts and still be effective.

Here’s some inspiration!

When we think of parisian design, the cliche is beautiful pastels, distressed antiques, chic florals and designer elements, and although the reality is more likely modern and slightly cutting edge, this cliche is one of my favourite forms of interior design.

There are many different varieties of fitted bedrooms in merseyside in a selection of colours, styles and designs to suit everyone. Whether you are going for modern and simplistic with an oriental twist to traditional cottage chic, you can find absolutely anything online from cheap to designer prices, so why not redecorate your bedroom this year!

 

Today there are so many television shows redesigned rooms to die for, with style, originality and beautiful furniture. What they fail to explain is, this is all achievable on any budget. You can create a bedroom that screams designer and style for no more than £100. You just have to use your imagination and be open minded.

 

Where to start?

Nothing beats a new coat of paint. Even if you have wallpaper, you can still use paint over it or repaint ceilings and skirting boards to create a clean and just finished look. Paint can also be used on furniture. If you want to create space, paint wardrobes or draws with a coat of Champaign or Cream. If you want to symbolise money and wealth, choose a mahogany or deep hazelnut. By painting furniture you can transform old and shabby cupboards into modern and fashionable storage. This allows you to explore car boots for old unwanted furniture and even wooden chairs which with a bit of initiative can be made beautiful. Makeover your old friends with a brush of paint!

 

Lighting?

Everyone loves a bright room, it brightens your mood and helps create space. This can be reached in a number of ways. One is by using mirrors. Invest in some large mirrors, without heavy frames and passion near to a window in order to reflect and bounce the light around the room. This is also done by using fitted glass wardrobes, a favourite in modern houses and ads to a simplistic look. Another way is through lighting, never by lamp shades which direct the light towards the ceiling as they reduce the light emitted to about half. To get the most of a light fitting, use shades that allow the light to shine downwards and doesn’t cover the light at all. However, by not using a light shade at all may give you more light coverage but will make the room look unfinished and unloved.

 

There are many options on the markets to achieve a designer look bedroom no matter what your style but always remember one rule that applies to all is clutter will degrade any room from 5* to 2*. If you can, opt for a fitted bedroom which will save time and money in the long run.

If you have a lot of treasures (that some people call junk!) then sometimes you can feel alienated by the idea of modern, minimalistic home design. Realistically, the homes you see in the magazines, are they really practical? They have no clutter, no storage, and no sign of anyone even living there. However, if you are a cluttered person, and you have a lot of treasured possessions, there is a way to incorporate them into a very effective interior design style.

 

 

Use your collectables as features- on shelves, racks, and hung up on walls. If you play around with the positioning in groups you can create pretty clusters of detail in your room. make sure things are arranged neatly, and try to keep like colours together, as this will make the items look intentionally placed.

 

 

 

Grouping things together is key. Groups of 3 and groups that vary in height always work well, and contrast any cluttered areas with some areas of open space. Keep things clean and well dusted, nothing will make your home look more tired than a dusty collection.
