Absolutely psyched to be working on a series of rugs made in collaboration with our artist Greg MacLaughlin and the Gibbon Group. Tretford rugs epitomize all that is cool in the custom rug world. Created using the finest quality goats hair, the color texture and weave of the material is absolutely stunning, lending itself toward sharp geometric designs. Greg MacLaughlin's sharp eye for simplicity and design has paired perfectly with the brand and we are very excited to be offering this cutting edge product to the market place. Launching in April, the rugs will be available in a range of color palettes and combinations, meaning that the designs can be tailored to suit your style and decor. It's an interior designers paradise and we cannot wait to see them on your floors!! This is just one of 5 designs coming soon!

Polyvore is such a great resource - particularly if you are redecorating and adding art into the mix. If you are a little unsure of what art goes best with your design without physically seeing it in the space, Polyvore allows you to literally cut and paste product images from the web so that you can mix and match art with your decor until you get the combination just right! It's pretty easy, but here is a HOW TO GUIDE for using the site: Go to POLYVORE, set up a user profile and install their 'Clip to Polyvore' link to your bookmarks. Once installed you can then literally browse the web and clip your favorite items from anywhere to your profile. For art, head to the TW Fine Art Shop and CLIP your favorite prints. You can then begin to CREATE A SET, pasting items from your profile favorites. Mix and match anything from furniture to wall colors, wallpaper, lighting, accessories and most importantly ART.

Art that you love might not obviously fit the with decor of your home, but don't stress. There are ways to work art into your space that compliment your design while staying true to your taste! I like to think of art in a room like punctuation in a sentence. It should lead your eye around the space to accentuate key features, in turn creating visual syntax. We offer close to 300 fine art prints in a variety of size options so you can select, then scale the work to best fit your room. Proportion is key, scale the artwork to fit the space. Lofty ceilings can appear taller with a large vertical piece. Consider art arrangements, groupings of smaller pieces rather than one large piece. In busy rooms, bold statements work well to break up the space! Framing is also an important factor and often an added point of confusion. Our motto is that simpler is (most of the time) better. For that reason we recommend sticking with a modern, minimal frame that will bridge design trends and always look current. Our frames are simple, sleek and fitted with a spacer to give you that 'high-end' feel without the high end price tag. Be inspired by some of our recent art installations:
