Where to Find Artwork to Match Your Style

If you’ve ever stepped foot into a museum or gallery, you know how subjective art can be. What makes this painting or sculpture or photograph better than any other? Is a piece of art supposed to make you tear up? If just going to a gallery can have you feeling this bewildered, how are you ever going to pick artwork for your own home? From ethically sourced works to picking pieces that match your style, we’ve rounded up our favorite companies that make the process of selecting art a breeze.

Novica

Society6 is a grown-up, more sophisticated version of Etsy. Just as with Etsy, artists can set up their own online shops to offer their work directly to customers. The main difference is that Society6 handles the manufacturing side so that artists can focus on creating and you can be sure you’re getting a high-end finished product. They have a massive catalog to search through but once you sort out the type of art you want (everything from posters to canvas prints), you can search by style.

For the Urban Explorer: These maps of cities from around the world have a gritty edge thanks to the aluminum canvas they are printed on.

The Citizenry

Working with artisans from around the world, The Citizenry curates small-batch collections, so not only will you be adding sophisticated pieces to your home, you know they are one-of-a-kind as well.

ArtsHaus

How to Cultivate Modern Rustic Style in Your Own Home
rustic modern home

If the dream home you envision is a rugged reflection of your passion for the outdoors, modern rustic style is the look you need. Rough stone fireplaces, exposed wood beams, and a cozy sofa with a buffalo check flannel blanket, this style isn’t the feminine chic look popularized by Joanna Gaines and Fixer Upper. Rustic homes are masculine retreats that can be anything from a cabin in the woods to a farmhouse on a ranch.
Principles
The term "rustic" can be used to refer to a range of looks. The key is in the way the home reflects its natural surroundings. Where other styles like minimalism or mid-century modern want the connection to nature to be built around the view to the outside, rustic brings the outdoors in. The abundance of natural materials often left raw (untreated and in their natural form) creates a feeling of still being in nature while relaxing in the comfort of your own home.

This is one style that has seen a dramatic shift in recent years, forgoing the “revival” of other trends and instead morphing into something fresh and new. While in the past rustic was divided into two distinctly different looks -- farmhouse was the feminine answer to the masculine mountain cabin -- today’s rustic can be used in either setting and focuses on blending rugged materials with luxurious finishing touches.

Spring Lawn Care Tips: How to Bring Your Yard Back to Life After Winter

If you take a look at my back yard right now, you're going to have some explaining to do, because you can only see the yard from inside my house or from neighboring private property. Instead, how about I take a look for you, and then I'll tell you what I see.

I see plenty of work needed. Grass lawns don't just grow back healthy and hearty year after year, not without help, anyway. We laid down brand-new sod on our property just four years back, and for the first year following, the yard looked pretty great with minimal effort. In all the years since, however, the effort needed to keep the lawn healthy has grown every spring.
