At HomeSense this month we are getting all arty farty. We have joined up with the Ikon Gallery who are running an amazing competition with Gillian Wearing (the Turner prize winning artist). They are looking for one family to be cast in bronze by the artist and immortalised in Birmingham city centre. It has got us thinking about art in the home. The key is not to be shy about putting up pictures that you like. Express yourself with some art and don’t be afraid to put together pictures that don’t match. The more the merrier. Take up a whole staircase or wall with various paintings, drawings and prints in different sizes. It is very in vogue for home and we love it. 

Ooooh Robert Motherwell’s studio. Get inspired to make your own creations too. There’s no such word as can’t! 

Hang up a Calder style mobile in your kitchen to add a bit of modern art to your house.

Cool Collage! 

Egon Schiele. So these are just some of my favourites. But look out for what you like and stick them on your pinboard or make a wall of art in one room in your house.

This painting, another one of my personal favourites “Christina’s World” by Andrew Wyeth is one of the most famous american paintings from the 20th century.  Here photographer Bruno Dayan pays homage to the famous masterpiece. Love! 

Edward Hopper. One of my personal favourites. But art is so subjective, your home is the best place to express what you like by the paintings you choose.

We love these old 78’s made into wall art. How inspiring. 

Homeware really can be art!

If you can’t find the piece of art you’re looking for…make your own.
