Wallstudio on The Block Fans v Faves

The Block is one of our favourite shows here at Wallstudio. We have been fans for a long time and have been thrilled to have some of our designs included in The Block Shop's online store for the past few seasons.

We were super excited to discover a canvas or two on display in the background of Shelley Craft's Wallpaper challenge on The Block Fans v Faves set in The Block Shop's Pop-Up store in Melbourne earlier this week!

That's right! That's a Bright Pineapple canvas in orange and yellow you can see in the background there! 

And that's a Toucan canvas in orange and turquoise sitting proudly to the right of contestants Lyssandra and Alisa! 

Mr toucan popped up a few times throughout the show and we couldn't be more proud!

We would like to say a BIG thank you to The Block, for not only supporting Wallstudio and our sister company My Sweet Prints, by also for bringing many great independent artists and designers work to the public's attention! The love goes both ways, we assure you!

New Designs - Autumn 2014

With a new season comes 3 exciting, new designs from Wallstudio. The simple way to transform any room in your home for a fresh, new feel as we head in to the cooler months.

AZTEC

These designs draw on everything that is great about this ancient civilisation's aesthetic - bold colour, geometric design and fabulous repetition. Available in 3 colour ways, Orange, Teal and Pink, the Aztec canvases make a bold statement as a single canvas, and offer that "wow factor" when hung in two. They will bring your house right up-to-trend and are sure to bring vibrancy to your space.

FACET LOVE

A design inspired by the reflections of colour on a gem, or the view through a kaleidoscope, Facet Love is another geometric delight. The sharp angular shapes are contrasted with muted pastels and dusky tones which lend themselves to this season's hot colours and interior trends perfectly. If you want to make a statement in your space, without going over-the-top, these canvases, available in 2 colour ways, are just for you!

FLOWER BOMB

As the name suggests, the Flower Bomb design is an explosion of colour sure to lift any interior! This dynamic canvas design is a wonderful mixture of bright colour and muddy tones that create a moody and interesting design. Add some vibrant life to your home with one-of-a-kind design.

These, and many more fabulous designer canvases are available at the Wallstudio website.

Decorating with Grey

Grey is definitely the on-trend neutral right now. We are seeing it pop up in design magazines, TV shows and more everywhere! It is a fabulously versatile tone that can be subtle, or bold. Many people feel grey is a cold tone that leaves a space feeling clinical and uninviting, but we have to disagree. Grey can be tinted to be a warm hue with a yellow or brown undertone, or it can be a cool hue with a blue or purple undertone. But whether you choose cool or warm, grey doesn't have to be cold.

We have selected a few examples from the web to show, how when done right, grey can be an amazing background, or even accent to your home.

Bold Florals for Your Home

[source]

We still have the Spring bug here at Wallstudio. We are loving bright colours and bold florals! Bold floral patterns, accessories, wallpaper etc are a great way to bring some live and vibrancy into your home. It is also a great way to add some striking colour to your interiors too. A great thing about bold florals is they aren't as feminine as soft, pretty florals and are a great alternative for the not-so-traditional home!

Here are some great examples we found of bold florals done right!

Inspiring Outdoor Spaces

[source]

Spring has arrived in Sydney and all over the city its residents are venturing out into the sunshine. Spring is a time of packing away the old, starting with the new; a time of refreshing, new life, gorgeous blooms and the most beautiful of weather!

We have the Spring bug and are chomping at the bit to while away an afternoon or three in the back yard. We are blessed in Australia to have a culture of relaxed living and spending time outdoors. Every Aussie loves a good outdoor space for dining and living. We have found some gorgeous examples of outdoor spaces, that prove, big or small, there is something wonderful you can do with your outdoor space!
