As mentioned earlier, it is not necessary to plaster a room wall to wall in graphic design-inspired items to achieve the desired mood. A single cushion on a big, welcoming couch will set the tone.

Covering an accent wall with framed prints in an eclectic mix of patterns and textures is also very trendy. Especially in the living room! Position them either symmetrically or asymmetrically; both layouts will be beautiful.

Faces drawn only in outline, especially those of women, are a favourite subject of graphic artists. The painting in this residence’s entrance – wonderfully paired with a head-shaped ceramic vase – is a perfect example.
Colourful, lively, sensitive and soothing, graphic art will instantly transform any space. Try it in your home!
