Enhance Your Life by Cultivating Your Space

Start with Intention, Not Speed

Do not rush to fill a space. Be thoughtful. Collect original art and handmade items that you genuinely love.

Art surrounds us, shaping our lives in quiet but meaningful ways. By intentionally integrating original artwork into our environment, we can experience a subtle transformation—one that deepens the quality of our daily lives.

In the midst of our busy routines, we often find ourselves pulled in multiple directions, constantly giving and doing. Life becomes an endless cycle of output. But original art creates something different: a pause. A place. A reflection of our values and sensibilities.

Each encounter with a handmade object or meaningful artwork can offer a small drop of connection—a drip, drip, drip effect that gently changes the atmosphere around and within us.

Art as Sanctuary

Curating original art into your space serves as a mirror - reflecting what matters to you. Amid the noise of daily life, art becomes a kind of sanctuary, a gentle place to return to.

Think of a beautifully handcrafted ceramic cup, adding presence to your morning tea ritual. Or a hand-knit scarf, offering warmth beyond the physical. Or a small painting in your entryway that greets you quietly each time you return home. These pieces do more than decorate - they ground us.

They become part of how we live, and who we are becoming.

Curate with Care

To begin, try these helpful steps:

Edit, edit, edit.
This may be the most challenging - yet the most liberating step. Remove items that no longer resonate. Sell, donate, or give them away. Consider this a form of nurturing, a way to make room for what truly matters.

Notice what moves you.
It might be a color, a shape, a texture, or the way light falls on something. Collect images, fabrics, or ideas. Pinterest and Canva can be helpful for creating a digital vision board. But more than anything - just begin noticing.

Measure your space.
Once you have cleared an area, consider what might live there well - whether it is a sculpture, a painting, or a suspended object. Be mindful of how you (and others) will move around it.

Practical Considerations

Lighting.
Is there direct sunlight? Ambient light? Natural light changes everything. Be mindful as many artworks (unless intentionally made for the outdoors) should not be placed in full sun.

Walls.
Drywall, plaster, brick, or tile all require different approaches. If you are planning a gallery wall, Pinterest can be a great resource for layout ideas. And never hesitate to reach out to artists or gallerists for guidance - they often have thoughtful insights into framing and display.

Ask questions.
Explore local art events, attend gallery openings, and listen to artist talks when possible. These moments offer rare insight into the heart behind the work.

Online exploration.
You can also connect with artists online. Many of us (myself included) sell directly through our websites and welcome inquiries. If a piece moves you but is out of reach financially, ask about payment plans. We want the work to live in homes where it is loved.

Closing Thought

Creating a space filled with intention -art you love, objects that speak to you—does not happen all at once. It is not about perfection. It is a process. A slow unfolding. A way of caring for your home, and for yourself.

Start with one piece that makes you pause. That makes you feel something.

And then let it drip, drip, drip.
