Inspiration Rooms Using Art
The common theme in this wall display are the flowers, the frames, if uses vary and it works. Keep one theme in mind, frame, color, print, etc. and start hanging.
This large print works great along this staircase. Look familiar? Look closer, have you seen this print before? On the big screen? Charlotte's apartment, Sex In The City. This print is coming soon to the Unique House!
Notice the large print in the corner of this room. Don't be afraid to go big, this print balances out the corner quite lovely.
A large antique architectural piece works lovely in this setting.

Flowering Plants and Foliage
Flowering plants are a great addition to give colour and/or contrast to a collection. A tall foliage only plant surrounded by smaller flowering plants will make an interesting feature. When decorating with plants keep in mind that there is no right or wrong way to using plants. The result is only limited by the imagination of the decorator. One of the main advantages of decorating with plants is that they could be interchanged as often as required without additional cost. Please enjoy these great finds.
Tips:
If you have a contemporary style, choose plants that have clean lines are sleek and have long, slender shapes. However, if your home is Victorian in style, you'll want to choose feminine, frilly ferns. But in a Southwestern style, you'll probably want to use plants from the cacti family. We offer a choice of palm trees perfect to go with the southseas style. It's very casual and informal and the palm is light and airy to go with the light weight wicker furniture.
