// After what has been a record warm fall and beginning of winter here in the northeastern US, the chill has started to set in and I finally feel like cozying up inside (it wasn’t until the second half of December I changed to winter curtains – it just didn’t feel right when it was [...]
I recently discovered the fabulous Danish company Walther & Co and instantly fell in love with their understated, monochrome and rustic aesthetic. Very Scandinavian country shabby chic. It’s the sort of stuff that makes me wish I had an old renovated farmhouse somewhere in the Swedish countryside (decorated like this) where I would gather all [...]
// I’m very excited about today’s post which features an interview with the awesome artist Amber Alexander. I first discovered Amber through her Etsy store where she sells her original paintings, cards, fine art and limited edition prints, and immediately fell in love with her work. It’s one of those shops where you can’t stop [...]
// It’s always a treat when Swedish fabric company Himla releases a new catalog, and the Fall/Winter 2011 edition, shot on Iceland, is no exception. They always choose stark Scandinavian landscapes with neutral colors as the backdrop for their product photos, and not only does this create a fairy-tale feeling, it really makes their products [...]
// I have lived in the US now for over 20 years, but I am originally from Sweden, and for the past 10 years or so, I’ve had a dream of one day being able to split my time between both countries. It’s still only a dream, but I can’t help looking at home listings [...]
// First of all, I would like to announce the opening of the new Decoration Decoration Shop. At the moment, it features some of my favorite craft, decor and inspirational books (which I plan on reviewing eventually), and I will keep adding to it on a continuous basis. I have also been toying with the [...]
// I have completely fallen in love with the Grand Tour Osborne and Little wallpaper collection. They were released this past spring, but the colors and patterns work year round. The company says the collection was inspired by “the artistic and architectural treasures of Italy, especially those of Venice, as discovered by aristocratic young Englishmen [...]
Welcome to the relaunch of WDS under its new name: Decoration Decoration. As I mentioned in an earlier post (Decoration Inspiration Part 1), as much as I love wall decor in every way, shape and form, after blogging exclusively about that for 1 1/2 years, the field started to feel a bit too narrow. I [...]
As I mentioned in the first post in this series (Decoration Inspiration Part 1), I love magazines and always save them (don’t ask me how many magazine subscriptions I currently have – it’s embarrassing!). Every now and then, I take a bunch of issues from the same month a certain number of years ago and [...]
// I love paper and always save anything with an interesting pattern or design that could potentially be transformed into something else. Today, I thought I’d do a few quick tutorials on how to turn empty tissue boxes into wall art and garlands. The supplies for these projects are so inexpensive, they’re practically free. The [...]
// A New Beginning This post marks the beginning of a new and exciting direction here at Wall Decor Source. When I started this blog, it was to share my love for anything that goes on a wall: wallpaper, unusual lamps, art, etc. But after a while, the scope of it started to feel a [...]
// Books are always in style, whether they’re for reading or just being used for wall decor purposes, and especially right now. They are everywhere this fall, and they certainly do add a large dose of coziness to a room. We have more books than we know what to do with in our house (mainly [...]
// Osborne & Little just announced their new fall collection of wallpapers: the Komodo, which consists of a variety of animal prints (some with metallic finishes, which is huge this fall), and the Strand, with stripes in different hues and boldness. Animal prints are not my thing personally, but if I had to pick a [...]
// As much as I dislike saying goodbye to summer, fall is pretty exciting too. The freshness in the air, the pretty colors, the new releases of everything from boots to wall decor. Danish company Ferm Living just announced their new fall collection – it is fabulous and very much in keeping with the forecasted [...]
// Mr. Perswall has just released a new collection of cool wallpaper designs called “Communication” which, according to the company, “pays tribute to the art of storytelling”. They go on to saying “relationships come into being through communication”, and I have to say that some of these on your wall will certainly be conversation starters. [...]
// It almost feels like a shame to even think about fall when there is still a little bit left of summer, but as much as I want it to be summer forever, the change of seasons is around the corner and before we know it, we’ll be curling up in front of the fire [...]
// What is it about chevron that is so alluring? It seems like everywhere I look lately, I see chevron patterns in all shapes and sizes: on walls, rugs, furniture, clothing (and not only Missoni), jewelry, office products, really on everything. What Is Chevron? Chevron is a simple inverted V-shaped graphic pattern (also often called [...]
// Glassmaking has a long history and it is thought that the earliest man-made glass objects were made as far back as 3500 BC. The art of glass blowing is estimated to have been discovered over 2000 years ago, and the ancient Romans started using molds, which took the art of glass making to a [...]
// I was recently trying to come up with some new ideas for decorating a room and happened upon a fun HomeGoods quiz. It was created by Deborah Needleman, who was the editor of one of my all-time favorite magazines: the much missed Domino (thank goodness I subscribed while they were still in publication), so [...]
// With a little bit of creativity and effort, everything functional can be made into a unique design feature (as we have seen before in the Warming metal wall decor, Wooden shelves and Wall lamp posts for example) – even something as utilitarian as coat hooks. Here are some favorite finds: Knives What looks like [...]
