DIY PROJECT: THE ART OF WALL ART

This is one of the easiest DIY projects I did for my house. I kinda sorta live in a cave, you know dark walls, dark couch, darker floor rug. I am personally drawn to dark colors and unless am designing for a client, pop of color doesn't really work for me (I will do another post of how I went all bright with my kitchen and ended up with a disaster). Needless to say, I decided to pop some color into my dark world...dark ages.

I made some wooden frames, cut up fabric. Some nails and glue and POW! Instant wall art! Here's pics of how this went down. DISCLAIMER: windows have no sheers ( I have an open window policy for the living room that no one else understands)




Cut up the fabric, hand-drawn Chevron print from IKEA. It's actually their current collection. Added some white and red pieces, locally sourced.




Some of them may have gotten out of line...or not, depends on the angle you look at it from. I hung them a bit higher because I live with my little human being, you can imagine what she would do to them in a second! I tried to convince other occupants of my house on doing six of them and placing them in two columns of three but they would hear none of it, so we mutually agreed on one column of four instead.



I tried the look on the floor next to a Dassa by Design cross-legged bench stool from last year's furniture collection.


Or unbalanced, one frame on the stool, one on the floor and what looks like a piece of paper on the floor, oh well! 


I later took all the frames off the wall, color doesn't work for me. It's all about what you are comfortable with, right? Do you need some wall art? Email us at dassabydesign@gmail.com, even easier call us on 0711 643 630 give us dimensions , choose fabric from our fabric collection and add some wow to your wall.
