AJuff Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Our new orangery looks so bare. It's finished but lacks something. What kind of art can I put on the walls in a bright room that won't fade? I'd hate to pay a lot for art that in two years time was trashed. I'm totally out of ideas. Any arty people out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Maybe something made from glass or even mirrors? Masks or similar made from wood, as that can be nice when it gets a bit sun bleached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Glass and mirrors is a good idea bluekarin Have you got a photo of the room? You could maybe put a light on the wall to break it up a bit. All the "art" in my room are posters and the back of my door is covered in photos of me & my friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Are you a traditionalist or do you prefer the contemporary, modern look? Is the room south facing? What colours/wallpaper have you used used to decorate the room and also the room next to it? What size is the room? and lastly (you'll be pleased to hear) what are you using the room for? Answers on a postcard please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Look for fabric which you can stretch over a canvas picture frame. Staple it on and you have a unique piece of art you can change easily when you want a change. John Lewis have some lovely materials and lots of offcuts.

Plum Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ceramic pieces are good because the colours don't fade. You just need a few holidays to exotic parts to pick up some pieces. Or trawl the internet. I like your piece Poet do you have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Blimey, lots of questions!!! Well it has a piano, dining table and a sofa in it. The room is North facing and gets sun in the morning and at the end of the day, however it is a very bright room! Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 We've been talking about mosaic over in Crafty Fingers. A panel could look fab and won't fade. Take a look at this by one very talented Omleteer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
