Brief: Create a room that wasn’t just a ‘man-cave’ but one that worked for all the family, and friends, too. It had to be a room that is ‘all things to all people’, so had to be designed to allow multiple activities to happen at the same time in the same space. The lighting, sound, and vision had to work on their own, and together.

If you are googling about picking wall art for your home, then you probably fall into one of two categories. Either your walls are way too bare, or they're smothered in outdated and generic artwork that doesn't represent you anymore! Don’t worry – neither of these situations have to last forever, and there are plenty of stylish ways to make sure that your personality gets to shine in your room decor as well as in the rest of your life! Just follow these 8 wall art ideas from our bedroom designer below, and get ready to be the star of your own show! 1) Blank Walls can be Fun If you're online researching how to buy any sort of wall art for your home, then you fall into one of two categories. It seems either your walls are bare, or your art isn't fitting. Either way, it doesn't represent you! But blank walls don’t have to be boring. In fact, they can be a canvas for you to express your unique personality. 2) Create an eye-catching Statement Piece A big, bold piece of wall art is the perfect way to make a statement in your room. But if you’re not careful, it can also look like you’re trying too hard. The key is to find a piece that reflects your personality and style, without being too over-the-top. 3) Hang something Larger than Life Go big or go home, right? Especially when it comes to wall art. Hanging a large piece of artwork will make a huge impact in your room. It’ll be the first thing people see when they walk in, and it’ll set the tone for the rest of your decor. Plus, it’s a great way to fill up a large wall space. Just make sure you pick a piece that you really love – you’ll be looking at it every day.

It can be anything from a piece of wall art to a piece of furniture. In this case, we’re going to focus on wall art. A vibrant focal point will add color and life to your room. Making a statement and displaying your personality is easy with this. 5) Smaller is Better People often make the mistake of thinking that they need large, expensive pieces of art to fill up a large, empty wall. But the truth is, sometimes all you need is a small piece of art that packs a big punch. A small piece of art can be more intimate and personal, and it can also be less expensive. So if you’re looking for wall art ideas that are both unique and budget-friendly, try looking for smaller pieces! 6) Get Personal When it comes to wall art, the most important thing is that it speaks to you on a personal level. You should let your home reflect who you are and what you love! 7) Adorn yourself with Soulful Quotes A great way to show off your personality is with soulful quotes. Pick out a few of your favourites and have them printed on canvas. You can hang them up in your room or office as a daily reminder of what’s important to you. 8) Add some Colourful Décor Pieces A blank wall is like a blank canvas—it’s begging to be filled with something colorful and eye-catching! That said, if you're still unsure of where to start, don't worry. We’ve got eight wall art ideas that will help you decorate your room and bring out your personality. Final Thought No matter what your style is, you can find wall art that represents you.

The client’s request was quite common - a typical 2800 sf builder home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living space, and den. However, their desire was for this to be “anything but common.” The result is an innovative update on the production home for the modern era, and serves as a direct counterpoint to the neighborhood and its more conventional suburban housing stock, which focus views to the backyard and seeks to nullify the unique qualities and challenges of topography and the natural environment. The Terraced House cautiously steps down the site’s steep topography, resulting in a more nuanced approach to site development than cutting and filling that is so common in the builder homes of the area. The compact house opens up in very focused views that capture the natural wooded setting, while masking the sounds and views of the directly adjacent roadway. The main living spaces face this major roadway, effectively flipping the typical orientation of a suburban home, and the main entrance pulls visitors up to the second floor and halfway through the site, providing a sense of procession and privacy absent in the typical suburban home. Clad in a custom rain screen that reflects the wood of the surrounding landscape - while providing a glimpse into the interior tones that are used. The stepping “wood boxes” rest on a series of concrete walls that organize the site, retain the earth, and - in conjunction with the wood veneer panels - provide a subtle organic texture to the composition. The interior spaces wrap around an interior knuckle that houses public zones and vertical circulation - allowing more private spaces to exist at the edges of the building. The windows get larger and more frequent as they ascend the building, culminating in the upstairs bedrooms that occupy the site like a tree house - giving views in all directions. The Terraced House imports urban qualities to the suburban neighborhood and seeks to elevate the typical approach to production home construction, while being more in tune with modern family living patterns.
