Home decorating ideas, tips and inspiration
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 on
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 priciest
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 bit
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 thanks
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 favorite
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 fall
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. Seriously
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 with
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 whole
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 you
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 the
Lisa Bengtsson is one of those designers that always manage to surprise and delight with her unexpected and unique creations. Lisa studied graphic design at Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, and after graduating, she started her own business. She was an instant success, and today, she is able to live her dream – designing
Just the other day, I came across these adorable little house-shaped wall wooden shelves from Ferm Living (which happens to be one of my favorite stores for funky wallpaper designs, tea towels, vinyl wall art and decor in general – everything they sell is fabulous!). The shelves are made from oak (smoked oak, no less)
Art can be created from any medium really, and as we all become more aware of our wasteful ways and the impact is has on the environment, more and more artists of all disciplines are re-using and recycling a variety of materials. In today’s post, we are focusing on art made from something so seemingly
There are a lot of companies that make and sell wall decals, and many are very similar, so it’s extra exciting when you find one that stands out from the crowd, and for all the right reasons. Hu2 Design (I have featured one of their designs before, in the vinyl wall art post) was founded
Winter may be on its last breath, but where I live, the days are still chilly and the nights even more so. Cuddling up under a blanket with a glass of wine next to a crackling fire is still the perfect evening activity. So today’s post is about unique, stunning and creative fireplace mantels. Converted
While it may seem like they are mostly there for utilitarian purposes, light fixtures can have a huge impact. We just had a new ceiling pendant lamp put up in our bedroom the other day, and it completely changed the look and feel of the room. It went from being a space we never spent
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, today’s post focuses on love. While I personally would not cover an entire room in some of these patterns, they are cute, fun and certainly innovative. And as always, there is the option of putting them up on a focal wall, or just frame a piece and use as
Some people can’t stand orange; others can’t get enough of it. It is a strong color that can be overwhelming in large quantities, but super chic and fun in smaller doses and as an accent. The name “orange” was used for the fruit in the 1300s already, but as a description of color, it supposedly first
