When I sent out last weeks newsletter and asked the question ‘Should your Art Coordinate with your Home?’ I received a pile of great comments from my lovely readers! Laura Jens from Developing Designs sent me some rooms with art that she was inspired by (below):
My favourite answer (and others said the same thing but this was the best one) was this one; ‘No, your art should not coordinate with your home. Your home should coordinate with your art.’

I also loved this comment from Life in the 2nd Half Century; ‘Art is considered an investment, why would I want to de-value my investment by not giving it the very best showing.....?’
Karen from Photography Art Store’s Blog (It’s Canadian) posted an interview with me on Decorating with Art yesterday, click here to read my tips and advice.
Thanks also to Beth Burns at Beyond White for sending me some images from her website (below)as well!
I had asked (in my newsletter) if anyone had any images of beautiful images with art that did not appear to coordinate with the room and so far these are the ones I received so I’m thinking maybe it proves the first point that Your Home Should Coordinate with your Art! Love that!
Thanks everyone for your always interesting and thoughtful comments!
