Looking through Flickr photos, I was impressed with Jennifer's adorable guest room. The dark chocolate wall creates a soothing, cozy space, while the patterned Amy Butler swatch portraits create a dramatic focal point to the wall behind the bed.
This project is surprisingly inexpensive to re-create in your home.

I don't normally recommend store-bought artwork; I prefer originals. But Graham & Brown has a few wall art prints that are cool, including some designed by DwellStudio. Better yet, they're all 50 percent off through Dec.

Growing up I was always interested in decorating, but I had a fleeting sense of style that changed as frequently as my taste in food. My parents let me choose my décor, which I loved.

I spotted this image in the portfolio of New Zealand-based photographer Emily Andrews and I love the way the silvery grays of the wall art play off of the rich patina of the industrial chairs. And the gray cat, too! The wall art is made from stretched fabric by a very famous textile company.

I'm betting that many of you feel nostalgic as well, especially if your little one is in elementary school this Fall. To get you into the school spirit, I've rounded up some great art that will have you singing your ABCs and reciting your multiplication tables.

This boho-chic 19th-century frame, which was recently featured in Skona Hem magazine, has a number of quirky features. One of my favorite quirks is this wall of small sculptures hung high on the wall in the dining room. If you're feeling uninspired by your framed photos and artwork, try adding some textural elements to your wall in the form of small sculptural objects, or even plates.

I love this instant-art idea, used in one of the Superior Deluxe Rooms at the Portland Ace Hotel. It also seems like it's begging to be DIYed.

While movie posters stuck directly to a wall with thumbtacks will look like you're living in a college dormitory, tastefully matted and framed movie posters can look like fine art. Do you have any movie posters in your home?Photo by Pneuroic
