We recently painted our staircase. Three of the walls are a nice pale creamy sort of colour that I think goes by the name of "Almond Cream" and the wall that you look at as you walk down the stairs? Well. I am in love. We painted this wall in Dulux's Teal Tension. I had decided I wanted teal long before we started painting and as much as I love it, I've already decided that when I get bored of it I'm changing it to navy blue. Anyway... we are far from finished the staircase. At the moment there is an awful dark green carpet down and I assure you that paired with my beautiful teal wall it causes somewhat of an offence to my eyes. Needless to say I have picked out a gorgeous, textured minky coloured carpet (awful description, sorry!) that shall be purchased whenever I get round to it... probably after Christmas.
I have a problem though. I went on a little trip to Ikea and found the most perfect framed print with a teal coloured background peeking through, to go on one of the cream walls and I DIDN'T BUY IT. I live miles and miles and miles away from Ikea. Before this whole fiasco I had come across Dan Baldwin and his splendid art and after discovering that it was way out of my price range I let it go. This ikea print was like a nice £28 Dan Baldwin rip off though. And I stupidly let that go too.
He's not everyone's cup of tea, I know. I just love that everytime you look you're bound to see something new, that it is something people will talk about and comment on and I feel like this is the only place in our house that we can have something modern and funky without it looking like it's in the wrong place. Let me know what you think and if you've seen something similar but at an affordable price then hook me up!
This is very cool, personally I like my art alot simpler so don't really know of anything similar but if you maybe search pintrest or tublr?
