Hi everyone! Thanksgiving week has finally arrived and since I am not going to be home cracking away at any projects, my mind has started to dream and wander…designing new spaces around the house. I have several rooms in mind to tackle, but one of the first ones I hope to hit is a slight revamp of our main guest room. This room is a bit on the dark and drab side and have been wanting to spruce it up for a little while now. It is full of dark brown and burgundy and neither appeals to me much anymore if they are the sole colors in the room. I am looking to give the room an industrial spin and one of the first components I prefer to pull inspiration from is art!
A piece of art instantly sets the tone for a room and is a fabulous jumping off point for determining colors, textures and design. I found this piece while browsing the fine art section at invaluable.com. The painting pictured below is an original acrylic painted on canvas and when I spotted it, I knew it was just what I needed to start crafting this space. Since there were so many amazing pieces of art to choose from, I narrowed my search to the contemporary pieces and still ended up searching for quite awhile because I was having trouble picking just one “favorite”! The piece I selected for my mood board is available for auction at a starting price of $300, but there is art available at every price point, which is the cool part; some as low as $60 and others will probably sell for several thousands.
I love that the reds & browns in the painting are paired with golds & grays, allowing for a ton of versatility. I love accenting with gold & the wood gives the room a warm & natural feel. What do you think? Would you feel comfortable and cozy in a room like this? I love this room so much, I would even consider a similar look and feel in our master…someday, I suppose 🙂
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope to see you back here again real soon because I will be sharing several holiday gift guides for various occasions & special people in your life. I think I’ve landed some great finds!
