Impactful Inspo // This Shape..

One of my favorite parts about traveling for Free People is getting to see all the different Urban Inc. stores around the country. It's so wonderful to see how the experienced and veteran display artists at Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters across the country use the same inspiration in so many unique ways. I was especially inspired by this gorgeous pentagonal moment in Denver's Urban Outfitters [oh yeah, and that ombre tower isn't too shabby either..]...


This artist at the Heidi Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne, Australia took it to a whole other level making the scale larger than life. And the intricately woven pops of color make it even more amazing, who knew wood and string could be so impactful? What's been inspiring you lately?

Art + Interiors: Thinking outside the lines...

One of the most inspirational artistic movements for me is Abstract Expressionism. It was a time when for a group of rebellious artists, art became less about recreating what they saw and more about recreating what they felt. It was about expressing themselves through art and producing work that made the viewer have to draw their own conclusions. I love this piece, It looks very much like a De Kooning, though I cannot confirm who the artist is. I love the way the piece plays with the viewer's spatial understanding, there seems to be no up and down, no frame of reference, no beginning and no end. It is just a sea of emotions that though jumbled and erratic, make up a whole that is quite stunning.
Live in it...

Let your home be an expression of yourself as well. Your home should evoke emotion when you step into it. And this may not be able to be accomplished through one style or color. You have complete creative license, enjoy!
