5 personal tips for those who cannot stand the current home decor since the start of social distancing.

I doubt that there's someone who hasn't thought already on being creative during the lockdown. Either baking some new recipe, trying to make your own bangs or gathering the kids to recreate a do it yourself you've found online, we are more and more creative -  and also tired of staying at home with the same view every day.

At these times there's a crazy will to re-decor our whole house, right?! Just go easy on that... before you go shopping all the stock of exotic colours of wall-paint without having any idea on how to use them, we've selected some basic tips where just the inclusion of artworks already makes big changes in a room.

wall art

One of the most original ways of having artwork at home. This kind of art brings life to the room, it really transforms the whole environment. But it's important to remember that it'll be in focus, so it probably won't match with shelves in front of it, for example.

Are you looking for turning a boring wall into a special place? Try creating a set with 2 or more complementary canvas. For that, using fine art prints is an excellent solution: instead of download free pics on the internet, you can support your favorite artists by buying their artworks and empower this (your) community. This kind of practical decor requires investment in good printing material, this way you'll ensure quality and longevity to the artworks and you can still arrange the set in different ways as time passes by.

This is the classic tip for non-conventional people. An original painting is always a big happening in the house. It has unique details, you can feel closer to the creative process and still have an exclusive piece. This is a great option for someone who searches for something a bit more traditional but yet interesting. And sometimes you can also order a commissioned work with specifics themes or colours. Amazing, isn't it?!

Here's an option for those who like to dare using good taste. It's wrong to think that wallpapers are dull or less valuable than the other pieces. It completely personalizes the room, and it also brings a refined touch of art easy to compose with furniture and objects that you may have already. A precious tip for those who want to bring art in small steps to the environment.
