How Your Pets Can Make Art, Instead of a Mess.

15/5/2019

Bring your home to life with custom art that features your pet. 

For some of us, our pets are not just an animal. They’ve become an integral part of our family, and for good reason! Aside from unconditional love, on an emotional level, owning a pet can decrease depression, stress and anxiety; health-wise, a pet can lower your blood pressure, improve your immunity and even decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke.

All too often, when decorating our homes, artwork gets treated as an afterthought and we most certainly don’t think of the potential for our pets to become a “work of art”. Artwork and custom accessories are usually the last thing to be considered long after the final coat of paint or the artful arrangement of the furniture but relegating both to the sidelines is a missed design opportunity.

​Project panic? Overwhelmed and don’t know where to start? by Sinead Cassidy

Picture
6 key considerations to help you on your way: 
  1. What is the function of your space - will it be used for relaxation/work/living?
  2. What form elements do you need/want to keep e.g an existing structure, an inspirational piece of furniture or art and what needs to go- be ruthless!
  3. What atmosphere would you like to achieve- warm/cosy, airy/bright, stylish/contemporary?
  4. Work out what aspect and natural light the space has. This is essential for decisions when it comes to colour and lighting choices.
  5. What is your own emotional response to colours? Do you equate dark colours with cosiness or oppression, light with relaxed or chilly?
  6. Work out what your planned spend is.

The Art of Upcycling by Maggie Brady

Picture
​David Attenborough’s Blue Planet has definitely raised peoples consciousness for recycled materials and eco design in everyday living. Reusable coffee cups, water bottles and paper straws are just the beginning of being more resourceful with what we buy and use.
We can also consider this in our home designs.  Consider buying vintage, a bit of late night browsing at the auctions online, car boot sales when redecorating choosing quality pieces over a quick fix that will last over time. Work with what you already have!
​
Paint and colour can overhaul your space, upcycle, be creative and think outside the box. Repurpose, use wallpaper, change the hardware and dress up the old pieces of furniture. Give it a more luxe look. Old pieces have a history so create your own story that will give you many more years. Shop local and use salvage yards but most of all have fun. Small steps can make a big difference. If you find something and love it then buy it. These are the things that create the memories and you'll always find a place for it.

Don’t choose anything in isolation by Adele Roche

​Don’t choose or purchase any item in isolation, always bring your samples together-flooring, tiles, fabric, furniture, wallpaper, paint swatches etc to ensure they work together. Look at all the elements in the environment you are planning to decorate - everything looks different in a retail setting!

Storage, Storage, Storage by Anita Oakey

​When buying or building your new home it is easy to get caught up in the colours and style of the spaces you are dreaming of, but don’t loose sight of the practical elements you will need in your home. Storage, Storage, Storage.
 
Every corner can have added storage and this, in my opinion is the secret of good design in a home.
