Recently, a good friend of mine, Jules Yap from www.ikeahackers.net was working on a new project of upgrading the look of her bestie’s office. Any interior spaces can always benefit from a decorative touch. A great piece of wall art, an area rug and small decorative item will help make any space more inviting and warm.

Behind a sofa is probably one of the most common places to hang up a painting. It is important to choose one that would complement the sofa as well as the other décor of the room. If you have been following us, you will noticed that Abstract Oil Paintings are one of our most popular styles amongst our customers. They look very modern, and the bright colours instantly draws ones eyes towards them.  If the colour scheme of your room consists of a lot of whites, greys or other minimalist colours, a good, colourful abstract oil painting will add a pop of colour without making it look out of place. Here is an example of how our painting was used to fill up the space behind the sofa. The orange and blue tones in the painting complements the blue and orange pattern on the white pillows. This is an easy way to match your painting to your décor! We were so happy we got to help with this project!  Do you need any help with your interior space?

When looking up some design inspirations for your home/office, you may have come across the term ‘Mid-Century Modern’. This style was developed from 1945 to 1975 and is still very popular today. So, what exactly is Mid-Century Modern style? As its simplest definition, it is defined by simple forms, organic influences, high functionality and minimal decoration. In other words, simple but functional. Think of furniture with sleek legs and an abundance of colour and patterns. Mid-century modern and glam often go hand in hand. Incorporating the simple and sleek with the glamorous can have a beautiful effect! A statement piece is always a must for Glam or Mid Century, so why not go bold by adding an eye-catching oil painting on canvas? This is exactly what we did for a client showroom at Wisma Bentley in Mutiara Damansara. An exciting project we did recently.  There is a huge variety of colour combinations that you can have fun mix and matching. Light and pastel colours are a good option if you don’t want anything too bold. The greyish-blue pillows sit comfortably against the soft pink sofa, and the similar blue hues on the painting really connects all of them together.  White is a neutral colour that makes anything cool modern due to its clean surface. It’s a great choice for mid-century modern living room design, and it can also be put together with any colour. Too much white could almost be blinding, so spice things up with some statement colours. See how the dark blue and golden tones in the painting match the colours of the pillows. Very aesthetically pleasing!  For something a little different, go for a triptych painting. If you find a room to look a little simple, triptych paintings can help give it an interesting flair. The paintings below almost seem as if they are a portrait painting of the plants in the room!  Here are more photos of the other areas of the show unit!  Interior Design by Palladio Interior

When you come back from a holiday, one of the first things that capture your attention is how dull every place appears, especially places that you see day in and day out like your home and office. It is easy to get bored of the designs and feel of these places if it doesn’t stimulate you or interest you. A great office or home should fill you with energy, and there are multiple ways to do it.  One of the easiest ways to turn your home and office into spaces that give you energy is to add the color green. Green is a color that adds freshness to any space. Think about a holiday where you are amidst trees and nature, swimming in a beautiful ocean that reflects all the nature around it. Without the color green, that space wouldn’t be so serene. Due to this connect with nature, in many South-East Asian countries, green symbolises harmony. It is connected with nature and with harvest, a time of joy and prosperity, and is seen as a color of new beginnings. Maybe this is also why, i always find myself on a beach holiday somewhere. This is where i feel most refreshed and relax.    To add green in any space, you can simply add plants, both indoor and outdoor. Plants bring about a breath of fresh air and liven up any environment. Indoor plants such as sansevieria and spider plant are even known for their air purifying properties, making it great for urban homes and offices. You can choose to have a single plant or an indoor oasis, and whatever you opt for will bring in freshness to your eyes. But if you are like me, always on the go, travelling and well, have a problem with commitment (lol), having an artificial plant still lets you enjoy the physical effect of greenery without putting any effort. They are obviously easy to maintain and just as beautiful.  *Here's a picture of my cat Simba, oh and my artificial plant. Another easy way to add the color is to add paintings which focus on green. You can add abstract, nature or landscape paintings to do this. Using paintings are also a great way to make your room elegant, or even quirky, depending on your style.   When you’re stressed out about work, and have no luxury of greenery outside your window, hanging up a green abstract oil painting or adding artificial plant will help you calm down, and may even transport you to beautiful places. So add green to your space in multiple ways to bring in the joy of spring, and create a space that brings you energy and harmony, at the comfort of your space.

Even though it took us longer than expected, it was super worth it. We were so ecstatic working on this restaurant project as we had to think outside the box. From just an idea, to a concept theme, sketch work and final work with our artist. Here is our first meeting with Mr Afonso, discussing his plan and ideas.  This was the first sketch idea that we created. After much discussion with the bosses, we decided to use the other sketches that we did for the other wall art.  So once the sketch work has been finalised, it's time to work on the actual wall! Here is the break down of the work in progress!  Enough said, let's take a look at the final work already!  Located at Jalan Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, tucked away on a hilltop and sheltered from the frenzied hubbub of central Kuala Lumpur, with it's colossal chandeliers and stylish interiors, we work hand in hand with the owners to make their high-end restaurant that is influenced by East Asian lifestyle and culture even more memorable. Relish a gastronomic evening at this luxe-lounge and restaurant, where the curation of cocktails is just as important as its cuisine and art.  Here is a Mural feature waterfall wall that is in their VIP private room meant for a romantic dinner. Lady with the Red Dress. She is standing tall of about 20 feet!   picture and text taken from https://www.fook.my/  All this 4 gorgeous ladies is done by our in-house artist, it is digitally design and printed on canvas.         This is also one of our favourite~ Lady with the Red Sarong, the canvas size is about 16ft by 6ft! It is so huge that we even have to frame it onsite!  Kudos to Our team (mural artist not in picture) that makes it all possible!  The owner of the restaurant also have refurbished the entire restaurant that look nothing less than FABULOUS! Come down for a memorable night out with your friends or love ones!  Thank you Mr Afonso for trusting with our services and products!  Do you need any help with your interior space? Email me at enquiries@artisanmalaysia.com  In case you are tired of choosing what type of colours to use for your interior space, it is high time for you to opt for black and white!  I know that there is a special category of people that like black and white designs in everything (unlike the burst of colors in my last post!) so, therefore, i like to dedicate this post just for you. Monochrome doesn't mean boring, mind you, when expertly applied, this design concept can be executed in a way that brings a living room to life. There are endless ways to use these colors in a way that can be engaging and interesting. A black and white palette is timeless and classic, with never-ending possibilities from monotonous to making a statement. It is an elegant, sophisticated and modern which can make your living room look absolutely stunning. Black and white living room design generally accepts the presence of the other colors which means it gives you plenty of room to use your imagination and get creative!  But if you decide to just use black and white, the key element is not to use the black and white colors in similar proportion; you need to choose one color which will dominate the design. The choice will depend entirely on your particular taste, and what you wish to achieve as the final result. Here are some ideas black and white spaces beautiful design with Abstract 100% Handmade Oil Paintings On Canvas for you to get inspired:

Brown is a versatile colour, it doesn't have to be boring or basic. From the dark shades of rich mahogany to lighter and neutral wood colour, brown fits just about anywhere. Brown possesses rich earthy quality and it also indicates warm, comfort, solid, permanence and security. The colour you choose for the main items in your living room like your sofa or feature wall Oil Paintings can either match the rest of the décor in its general lines or it can coordinate and compliment other furnitures with certain key elements. It can also be the one piece that stands out without having to match anything.  Let’s take a look at some living rooms to get inspired:  The earthy hues of brown will always be enhanced when contrasted with crisp white. The winning combination of the leather brown colour and the shades of Brown Abstract Oil Painting above it, increase the drama without trying to hard.  Here we have an example of a sofa that seamlessly fits into the living room’s décor thanks to its colour. This pale shade of pastel pink, grey and beige of the pillows and Abstract Oil Paintings artworks coordinates beautifully. As much as white is the prime colour of the room, the coffee table, sofa wooden base and artwork frame makes the spaces feels warm and earthy.  We love all of the whimsical details in this living room, from the throw pillows with triangles that matches with the Colourful Oil Paintings hanging above the couch to the matching triangle carpet. The brown from the wooden floors and the modern side chairs works equally well with cooler greens and yellow, this add calm and color to a space anchored by the brown leather sofa.

There are so many other trips that I have yet to document but I promised I will make more time to write. I found it so wonderful that some of the trips that I've written down on this blog actually came in handy! A friend of a friend was planning a trip to Sri Lanka and when they asked me, I actually had the whole trip reference written! Oh yes, it includes my experience, prices, the places and how to get there! Anyway! This is our 2nd year anniversary, 20th December, and Christmas is just around the corner. We decided to go to Hong Kong! Why Hong Kong? I don't know, why not! I remembered coming here for Christmas some 10 years ago with ONLY light clothing, you know the kind you bring to a beach holiday. Well, it's 15 degrees! I am a tropical girl, so 15 degrees is freezing cold for me! Here we are, just arrived in HK airport. It's 18 degrees and I came prepared! P/S: I know I look like a Christmas tree, I thought it was a good idea, but apparently not.  |
