We often meet clients who always prefer abstract among any other design style. Understanding Abstract art is not complicated; all it requires is a big imagination and an open mind. It allows the viewer to interpret the painting on a very personal level. Abstract Art is always talked about, but the question is... Why is it so popular? First of all, we need to know what is abstract. A quick wiki check, you will know that Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect. This style gives you the freedom to explore the artwork and express your own meaning to the piece itself. It is about exploring form and colour.
Appreciating Abstract art does not come in an instance for most people. Funnily to say, we often overheard someone says, ''even my 5 years old can paint this''. What most people are not aware of is that a good abstract artist needs to have years of experience, good skills in the technicality and knowledge of colours and brush strokes. Abstract art can also makes people uncomfortable because it takes more than just a glance to figure out the meaning behind it. Yet it is perfect to have it as table talk discussion or an ice breaker. In home decoration perspective, abstract always make the space looks more finished and adds a pop of colour. Without it, the space might be seem as dull and boring.

It is a prefect place to start by playing with the colours of the sky, sea and sand to form a dreamy theme. Coastal Living has been increasingly gaining its popularity for its light, breezy, and refreshing feel. One of the first few things that come to your mind when it comes to Coastal Living is the colours of white, blue and turquoise and beige, oh the colour of soft sandy beach.  When I think about these, I immediately envision myself lounging by the beach, feet buried in the warm sand, sipping a refreshingly cold mango blended juice. The colour's soothing nature reminds me of the cool sea breeze that would so often embrace me whenever I am at the beach. Like most of us dreamers who can't afford a luxury villa by the beach, why not create a living room that transports us to that atmosphere once you set your foot into your nest? An accurate depiction of the sea can only be done with the shades of the colour cyan, a greenish blue, a mixture of the sky's reflection and the sea algae. Shades of cyan or turquoise is an eye-catching exquisite colour with a complex character, though soothingly simple when used interior designing. The centrepiece would be a white couch with its matching pillows where I can imagine myself to be laying on the sandy beach when I plop myself on it after a hard day at work. We are all dreamers aren't we? But with a little imagination, this can all be reality. Here are some add on accessories that you can add on your home to create a coastal living, even if you are living in the city.  From coastal turquoise to bright tropical palettes, there are many different shades of colour that can help bring your favourite hues to your home.
