canvas art, create your own unique contemporary artwork online

How do you choose canvas art to compliment your interior décor when you’ve decided that minimalism is no longer for you?

After reigning supreme in the world of contemporary interiors for a decade or more, we have to ask the question; Are we growing cold with living with minimalism?

How did we end up falling in love with the stripped back, the clean lines and the uncluttered in the first place? Of course, minimalist interiors at their best, can be wonderfully serene and calming but let’s face it, at their worst, can be mind-numbingly harsh, soulless or just plain bland.

Japanese interior design, German Modernism and feted gurus of commercial design like Ian Schrager have all gone their way to pushing us down the minimalist road. With everyday encouragement from TV makeover expert, we have fully embraced what was once cutting-edge design.

Now, let’s be honest with ourselves here, there are a couple of very important factors influencing us here that we might not necessarily want to admit to;

1. Minimalist design is easy!
2. Minimalist design is cheap!

Yes, it’s true! Try imagining a room in your house and then, in your mind, start coordinating wallpaper patterns, fabrics, curtains, cushions, furniture, ornamaments, throws, lighting, flooring, rugs – the whole shebang! Then redesign it with plain white walls, a neutral coloured sofa, a few brightly coloured cushions and a fabulous piece of canvas art from This is Perfect and Bob’s your uncle – how cheap and easy was that!

So, if we have all fallen out of love with a decade-defining style, then the future for all us budding interior designers is rather intimidating. It means putting in a lot of extra time and effort and, oh dear, spending more money.

But there is help out there. Unintimidating design advice is available from many of our trusted high street names such as Laura Ashley. Or, if the thought of weekends spent with a zillion fabric swatches fills you with horror, for a great starting point try the British Interior Design Association for a great way to start searching for really expert help.

The convenience of innovations such as This is Perfect canvas art at least make the search for finishing touches such as affordable contemporary art a whole lot easier. Giving the buyer the ability to customize colours and sizes across a range of wall art means that its one piece of the puzzle that doesn’t require endless searching.

And if the look your going for is moving from minimalism to maximalism, then you’re going to need all the help you can get!
