It’s not often that we think of wallpaper as art, since it’s usually just the backdrop to the art, but Swedish designer Lisa Bengtsson is changing that with her collection of whimsical prints and patterns that are just too pretty to cover. Drawn to creativity and expression as a child, her background in advertising only added to her desire to work in graphic design. The inspiration for her work comes from people-- the way they live now, the way they used to live, and the behaviors and memories that make them who they are. It’s this sense of past and present combined that gives her work such a unique, imaginative flair. Click SEE SLIDESHOW to see Lisa Bengtsson’s whimsical wallpaper and graphic prints for yourself!
Art in all forms has been making its way from museum walls to our walls to even our clothes-- and beyond-- for some time now, but the latest trend is shaping up to be digital art-inspired decor. That’s right, those digital designs have been jumping off computer screens and onto our floors, rugs, walls, plates, and pretty much anywhere with a surface begging for some extra flair. To get the look, keep an eye out for iconic imagery and pixelated patterns-- they’re what will differentiate the pieces from other printed ones. Check out some examples of this technologically-enhanced trend in our slideshow of digital art-inspired home decor!
