Nothing quite says making a home all your own like unique, handcrafted art. It can make any space take on a life of its own, adding warmth, personality, and a sense of style all its own. Whether you are moving into a new place or just want to refresh your current living area, incorporating artwork into your home decor can really take things to the next level.
We pride ourselves at Moment in Time Gallery, as we carry a collection of hand-painted art prints and paintings by Northumberland-based deafblind artist Joanne Roberts. Each piece is lovingly crafted to capture moments in time and bring a touch of the artist's vision to your walls. Here is how you can transform your home décor with a one-of-a-kind art piece from our collection.
1. Create a Focal Point in Your Living Room
The living room is the heart of your home-the place where you entertain your guests, relax after an exhausting day, and spend time with those you love. To create something really special in this room, you should think about a statement piece of art. That could be above a couch, fireplace, or console table; an art piece correctly placed there can anchor that room and give it a feeling of cohesion.
"Winter Tyne Bridge" is really something in a space. This signed limited-edition lithographic print from Joanne Roberts depicts, in soft watercolors, a serene winter scene of the Tyne Bridge and old toll house crossing over the North Tyne River in Bellingham, Northumberland. Delicate depiction of snow on the branches creates a very peaceful atmosphere, adding elegance and warmth to the living room.
At 15" x 10.5", it's the perfect size to call attention but not overwhelm a room. The serene reflection in the water and historic building make it a real conversation piece and bring aspects of local history and natural beauty to your home décor.
2. Add Serenity into Your Bedroom
A bedroom should be a haven unto itself-a place of peacefulness and tranquility whereby one could sit down, rest, and recharge. Since you'd like to hold that peaceful atmosphere, pick artwork that speaks of serenity. Soft, curvy shapes, nature-inspired images, or soft colors can keep an area at rest.
"City Reflections" is an excellent choice for adding a touch of peace and wonder into your bedroom décor. This is an original signed piece from Joanne Roberts in gouache on canvas, varnished to finish. It reflects wonderfully in the still waters a city skyline at sunset. The warmth from the sun's setting and the reflections of the water carry with them a soothing feeling of balance that can help you unwind at the end of the day.
At 24" x 18", this work is in landscape orientation-perfect above a bed or on a feature wall. Reflections and ripples in the water add further dimension, inviting you into the serene beauty of the scene. Ready to hang, "City Reflections" is ideal for enhancing the peaceful vibe of your bedroom.
3. Add Personality to Your Hall or Entrance
This hallway or entrance is the first thing that you and your guests notice upon entry into your house. It's a great opportunity to set the tone for the rest of the house. For adding personality to such space, smaller and inviting artworks would be better because it adds warmth without overwhelming the space.
"Spring Woodland Stream" is just the thing. This signed limited edition lithographic print by Joanne Roberts depicts Hareshaw Linn in Bellingham, Northumberland from a walk or paddle perspective down the stream. The soft peaceful tones of the watercolors combined with the lush greenery evokes a tranquil atmosphere of the woodland, and so invites it into any entry.
Compact at 7.5" x 10.5", this print fits into the smallest of spaces yet makes a big statement. In nature and inspired by nature, this calming scene brings freshness into your hallway-space, turning it into an oasis-like passage that welcomes you home every day.
4. Liven Up Your Office or Creative Space
Your office or studio is where ideas take shape, and just the right piece can go a long way toward engendering inspiration and motivation. For a space intended to be calm and creative, pieces reflecting nature and calmness are perfect.
The "Woodland Arch Walk" canvas would be just that. This signed original gouache by Joanne Roberts invites you into the serenity of a woodland scene. This painting is inspired by an archway that once existed at Hareshaw Linn in Northumberland National Park. For one brief moment, it could be a nostalgic moment of serenity: the wildflowers are on the path, and the dappled light through the trees creates fun shadows beneath. The image will evoke calmness and, as such, will be perfect for any home office or creative space where focus and tranquility are needed.
Measuring 10" x 12", "Woodland Arch Walk" in portrait orientation will easily accommodate smaller wall areas, inviting a touch of nature into your workspace without overwhelming the senses. This painting not only helps enhance the beauty of the room but also creates an atmosphere of serenity, stimulating a person to work with ease.
5. Give Your Kitchen a Splash of Color
The kitchen can be called the heart of the home, where one does not only cook but also gathers, creates, and unwinds. Adding art to the kitchen makes it even more hospitable, while a lively nature-inspired painting can really take it to the next level.
"River Walk" gives a refreshed pop of color and movement to the walls of your kitchen. An original signed artwork, in gouache with varnish finish, this superbly captures the ever-changing riverside path in Bellingham, Northumberland. Such is the liveliness of the winding path, the reflection of trees on water, and the quiet flow of the river that makes this a scene full of peaceful energy. From the bridge in the distance to the wildflowers growing by the riverside, this piece is a true feast for the eyes that will add some sparkle to any kitchen.
At 14" x 18" in portrait orientation, "River Walk" is perfect to hang over a dining nook or in that cozy nook in your kitchen. The vibrant, natural colors of the painting will add color and warmth to your room, every time you cook, a little more delicious.
