Inspiration: Art at Different Depths!
Austin

101008artdepth-02.jpg With small spaces, you don't always have the option of hanging huge, dramatic pieces of art. Even if you're not into art with bold colors or patterns you can still do something show-stopping with your collections. Try art with different depths! These small pieces of art arranged in a collage and featuring different thicknesses immediately give this wall unique interest...

 
 

101008artdepth-01.jpg These particular pieces of art, seen in a home featured in the latest issue of the Austin magazine Tribeza, display a similiar subject matter and color palette. Seen from an angle, the different depths represented give the wall an almost undulating texture! Don't think you have to be lucky enough to come across a group of art made at different depths, experiment with frames or even wooden blocks to raise art off your wall.

Have you ever played around with the depth of your art pieces? Tell us how you did it!

who makes the table and chairs? i like how it combines the modern look of the legs but looks really comfy.

Shadow boxes are great for this. I put some mandala prints in them that I purchased in Ireland instead of doing a regular old frame.

It added interest and it shows off the texture of the paper and paint which would be hidden if the glass was pressed right up against the art.

Looks like the Athos table and Solo chairs by Antonio Citterio (B&B Italia). Nice upholstery choice on those chairs.
