Guest Groups: Large Artwork For The Space

One thing I truly like about moving into a new location is adding artwork to all those big blank walls. Art makes a home feel more welcoming and is something that each guest can appreciate and relate to. A large painting is a fast way to fill up a room and bring proportion to an area.

When deciding how to dress your walls, large artwork not only adds private flair but brings colour, energy and style to a room and frequently sets the tone for the entire room. Let these contemporary and modern works of art be an inspiration for your home. — Monica from Hirondelle Rustique

“Less or More I” by Leslie Saris – $107.99

Sea Life Prints, Set of 6 – $395

These types of prints always remind me of”wunderkammer,” or curiosity cabinets, rooms filled with items whose categorical values have yet to be described.
