Deck your walls with art and light

by Billie Comeaux

It’s that time of year to deck your walls for the holidays! One place to start is selecting the right art and lighting to create your elegant room design.

 

ART

Artwork is one element of design that can achieve elegance within your cozy and functional room. Choosing a unique piece that fits your style and personality is important.

Art can complement your color palette or make a dramatic statement in your room design. When it comes to choosing a statement piece, remember art tells a story either to you or about you.

Gold and silver leafing is a very striking technique used in art today, which adds life and reflects light. This also adds a nice touch of sparkle for the holidays.

Stenciling a famous quote, saying or scripture also adds a personal uniqueness to your wall décor.

LIGHT

Lighting adds ambiance, drama and function to your room. Opt for layering recessed lighting, pendants, chandeliers, table and floor lamps to achieve a good balance for your space.
