Home decor: photography and prints


I am a "home decor enthusiast" and I love to spend my free time decorating our house, even if I am only making small changes. We moved 4 times in the past 5 years, so I am always busy in the home decor department :) I am still working on the living room in our new house and I recently started decorating the walls, because they seemed really boring. We painted the main wall with a gorgeous mint green colour and it made a big difference.

I have many photo frames in every room, but my son likes to pull them off the units and shelves, so ... I decided to create a "photo wall" in the dining area and you can see a sneak peek on the right photo below. I will add more frames in white, mint green and lime green and it should look really nice, once it is all finished.

The multi-frame on the left photo is above our desk area and I might add a couple of smaller ones around it in the future :)


Another photo on one of our living room walls is the big canvas of my baby boy :) I took this photo when Zac was 4 months old and my father in law got it printed for us. We don't have any red furniture in the living room anymore (we used to have red sofas), but I managed to make it fit into the decor and placed it above the corner sofa behind a chimney wall, with some cream and red flowers on a side table. I was worried that it will clash with the mint green wall, but the two areas are kind of separated, so it looks fine :)


I am also planning to get a massive canvas with mint green and white chevron print, but I am struggling to get it in the right size (at a reasonable price). I need it 200cm wide and 100cm high. I want it to match the colour of our main wall and I think it would look lovely above our corner sofa. Here is the print I prepared:



If you prefer professional photographs on your walls, you can always buy beautiful prints online, from talented artists. When I was browsing Saatchi Gallery, I came across some magical photographs, but most of them were out of my budget. You can see my two favourites below.
