So you need some (more) art in your house… Where to begin..?

I came across this fantastic tool on the Dutch houseplant website Plantsome. It helps you find exactly what you’re looking for. First, you answer questions like: where in your home do you want to place the plant? Does this spot receive a lot or just a bit of sunlight? Do you have pets? How big would you like your plant to be?

Striped Jungle: yellow

Fine art prints: everything you always wanted to know

A giclée, what is it?
