New sense of colour

New sense of colour

by Tiny de Vries
3 ideas for a new sense of colour.  The spring season is always full of energy and life. The fresh colours in nature and the warmer weather put us in such a good mood. It's also the perfect time to introduce new accents inside your home to add freshness and joy. And thanks to the art prints in my online shop, www.tinystories.nl, no job could be easier. Add a touch of spring colourfulness to your interior. I have three suggestions for using exciting colour combinations to bring spring accents into your home. If you want to give your place a buzz of freshness, you can find the perfect art prints, collages and wall hangings in my online shop.  GLOSSY PINK VISTAS   Let's open up the treasure chest of colour! Create true shimmering splendour with gold and silver tones in your interior. The unique metallic look produces an unusual and elegant living atmosphere. Combined with powdery colours like dusty pink, soft beige and light shades of grey, the brilliant metal colours will show off their delicate side.     In the LUMIÈRE DORÉE art print (€179.95), the expressive female portrait motif shines out from her golden background, adding a touch of glamour to the wall.   Pink and silver form a successful colour team, revealing their shiny side in the MOUNTAINS AT DAWN art print (€54.95). Because of its cool undertone, Silver combines particularly well with bright colours to ensure a spring-fresh look. FLOATING ON A PURPLE CLOUD  From their earliest use, purple tones have exuded a friendly, airy welcome – the most delicate temptation. This colour fills a room with peace, lightness and the joy of life. And it always creates exciting contrasts when used in combination with red and beige shades.  In the abstract landscape DE PAYSAGE (€42.45), the light lavender purple blossoms into renewed artistic splendour, combining excellently with fresh spring colours such as yellow, pink and light blue.   REFRESHINGLY DELICIOUS: SAGE AND MINT  Soft green nuances help us relax. They reveal a modern aspect and provide a carefree atmosphere. Not only do mint and sage ensure a delicious freshness in our cold drinks – they also spread their good mood onto our walls and furnishings.  In the art print PARADIS VERT (from €54.95), the colour-combination first prize goes to green and white. Together, these two colours bring joy into our apartments with their light accents, ensuring relaxation for body and mind. The added company of rich white and soft cream tones make the delicate green glow even stronger and appear fresher.     You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest.

3 tips for an artistic bedroom. Welcome to the bedroom of your dreams! A SPAce where you can unwind and recover from your daily stress. But how can you ensure your bedroom's transformation into a new feel-good room? I have three tips to help you create a cosy, modern and art-filled bedroom. In my online shop, wwww.tinystories.nl, you can discover the ideal art prints, collages and wall hangings for your personal bedroom update. PLACE THE FOCUS ON REST  Make way! Focus on the essentials and create a peaceful eye-catcher in your bedroom. A large work of art above the bed or on the opposite wall could be a central decorative element in the bedroom and significantly influence the overall mood.  As a large-format solo piece, the wall-hanging LISTEN TO THE SILENCE (€179.95), with its warm earth tones, creates a cosy atmosphere that invites you to relax. The 70 x 100 cm BLUE EYES wall hanging  (€179.95) provides a charismatic, artistic touch with a female portrait as its motif. Large-format works like these need space to unfold their special effect and will skilfully work their stand-alone magic on a wall. DREAMY SOFT TONES  It's time for soft powder tones to sweeten your bedroom ambience and bring a touch of lightness. Spring colour nuances, delicate pastel tones, and discreet motifs create an airy sense around your bed – that island of relaxation.   The large-scale print SUMMER MORNING (from €54.95) and the abstract landscape SOFT BREEZE (from €42.45) both create the optical effect of restraint and invite you to breathe deeply. Exciting colour combinations arise when we allow individual colours to repeat in different areas of the bedroom interior. Individual cushions, decoratively placed coat hangers, favourite books or flower pots act as companions to the art prints, picking up their delicate pink and restrained grey tones. GREEN SLEEP OASIS  Houseplants for the bedroom are incredibly decorative and also improve the indoor climate, filtering pollutants from the air. Your new botanical friends will transform the bedroom into a green sleep oasis, rewarding both you and your green fingers with their soothing effect.   The VERTE art print (from €54.95) is a beautiful, easy-care companion to a peace lily or ivy plant in your bedroom. The painted foliage adds a natural freshness to liven up your bedroom. And if you don't want to embellish your walls with nails or glued picture hooks, you can place small artworks, like the art card GINGKO  (€8.95), on a shelf or bedside table.   Find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest.

Hello Easter!

Hello Easter!

by Tiny de Vries
Decor ideas for a colourful Easter celebration. Spring is in the air, and our anticipation of Easter is rising. The colourful family celebration is almost upon us. Now is the perfect time for families to start their creative projects, enjoy the fragrance of spring flowers, snack on chocolate Easter eggs and decide on little gifts for visiting family and friends.   In this post, I’ll reveal two decor and gift ideas that will bring joy to everyone this Easter. Start your Easter browsing in my online shop, www.tinystories.nl and discover paintings, collages and wall hangings for your artistic Easter nest. ART CARDS AS EASTER GIFTS FOR YOUR GUESTS  It’s an EGG-cellent time to start crafting! In the run-up to Easter, young and old love crafting together – drawing, decorating and cutting out bunnies, eggs and other spring decorations. So, why not choose a more creative way to present gifts to your guests this Easter? Make your loved ones happy – surprise them with an A4 art card. How about pegging a few cards to a ribbon and creating a garland above your Easter table? Or you could combine beautiful art cards like CORAL (€16.95) or FLEUR POURPRES (€8.95) with your decorated eggs to garnish each plate on your Easter table.  And voila!  You've found your artistic Easter gifts that double up as decor. EVER-POPULAR GOOD-MOOD YELLOW    The radiant joy of daffodils! Because they're usually in full bloom during Easter, these charming spring flowers are also known as Easter bells. They love a little stage in your home to radiate their joyful colour. Why not place a beautiful vase of daffodils on a small table, surrounded by yellow décor elements like candles or painted Easter eggs? This spring yellow has hardly any colour-equal when it comes to providing joie de vivre, holiness and joy. The art print, LEMONS (€64.95, 30 x 40 cm), with its radiant lemon yellow, brings a pleasant spring freshness into any room. Give your daffodil ensemble another yellow companion on the wall with the art print FOLLOW THE SUN (€42.45, A4), a female silhouette in muted ochre.

Hygge meets spring

Hygge meets spring

by Tiny de Vries
3 tips for spring-fresh living joy.  When did you last feel "hygge" – relaxing on the sofa in a cosy candle-lit atmosphere, cuddled up in a fluffy blanket? But the alarm clock is starting to tear us out of hibernation, drawing us outside to welcome the first hints of spring in nature. However, the wonderful Scandinavian “hygge" lifestyle doesn't have to end once Spring arrives.   In the following post, I want to give you a few inspiring ideas to bring a very personal spring hygge into your apartment.  You can achieve this in different ways – using either less or more colour. Of course, a good dollop of comfort is essential. Discover matching hygge-style paintings, collages and wall hangings in my online shop, wwww.tinystories.nl. CREATE ISLANDS OF LIGHT  What ingredient is lacking for that spring hygge atmosphere as our days become longer again? Light! Lots of light. Open those curtains wide, move the furniture closer to the window and create islands of light in your interior. Softer colours, lighter fabrics, and artworks in brighter shades help you develop a sense of light and hygge. The art print CALMING (from €54.95), available in 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm and 50 x 70 cm, is the ideal addition if you want your room to exude cosiness and lightness. The delicate motif of a female portrait was originally painted on vintage paper with hand-made Japanese brushes. INDIVIDUAL COLOUR ACCENTS  A warm and neutral colour scheme results in a cosy home. Spring, however, can set new and fresh accents. Just as the first flower buds outside form small colour splashes in the wintery grey, patches of fresh colour will delight us inside. You can add joy into your apartment with flowers, candles and colourful works of art. In the art print SAND AND CORAL (€54.95), bright pink breaks through subtle and calm grey, beige and white nuances. The cheerful colour lifts your mood and makes you want to enjoy the spring season. It’s a high-quality reproduction with dimensions 30 x 40 cm. The original artwork was painted on sun-bleached linen with a Japanese brush.   THE SCENT OF COLOUR  Can spring ever become too floral? Not only do flowers cause pleasure when you see them in a vase, but they can also unfold their never-fading floral splendour on the wall. Allow flowers to speak the language of spring in your apartment and give them a place of honour on your wall. The floral art-print duo FLOATING FLOWERS (€42.45, A4) and FLEURS SUR LIN (from €54.95), available in 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm, will delight you with lasting floral pleasure. After all, Hygge is an attitude to life that simply brings joy.  You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or Pinterest. Love, Tiny  
Breathe deeply!

Breathe deeply!

These 3 ideas will bring a forest atmosphere into your home.  There’s something magical about a forest. A long walk through the lush, deep green, with trees, plants and soft birdsong all around you, brings about peace and relaxation. On 21 March, we celebrate the International Day of Forest. Can you think of any better reason to find inspiration in nature and bring the wonderful forest effect into your apartment?  In the following article, I’ve compiled my favourite inspirations and ideas to help you transform your home into a green meadow. FOREST INSPIRATION 1: GREEN REPOSE When the spring morning sun illuminates the first tree buds, and the delicate green of new leaves starts showing, our desire for nature awakens and calls us outdoors. Soft tones start flooding the landscape, revealing its charm. Similarly, the art print PALMIER VERT (€54.95), which is available in the size 30 x 40 cm, can turn things fabulously green. The light palm leaf on a darker shade of green invites one to relax in a botanical atmosphere—an ideal decor element for a small living area with a comfortable armchair or chill-out corner. FOREST INSPIRATION 2: TRANQUILLITY IN THE TREES  The wall-hanging WHISPERS FROM THE WOODS (€179.95) pays homage to the forest and offers a cosy silence. When looking at the textile artwork in clay and lime colours, the viewer will experience a feeling of inner contemplation and deep, calm breathing. The motif of the tree, printed on a sturdy cotton canvas, is reminiscent of the power of nature. The dimensions of this wall hanging are 80 x 100 cm and hanging clips can be supplied on request. FOREST INSPIRATION 3: PURE BACKDROP OF NATURE  Would you like to bring indigenous nature into your home? You can achieve this atmosphere with small finds such as decorative stones, grasses or warped twigs from your last forest walk. Glasses or ceramic bowls make beautiful containers for these natural treasures. The abstract art print EMERALD GREEN (from €52.45) can form the colour-perfect counterpart to natural earthy colours and wood elements in your interior, reflecting the vibrant glow of meadows and forests with the bright green tones of the layered vintage papers – a feel-good backdrop of nature inside your home.     You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest.

A toast to women!

Gift ideas for International Women’s Day on 8 March. 8 March is International Women’s Day, and we want to show all the extraordinary heroines who enrich our lives how much we value them. Whether it’s your mother, your sister or aunt, your daughter, your best friend, your dearest colleague or you yourself — every woman is unique, and together we are strong! Do you still need ideas for an artistic gift for that power woman in your life who makes you proud? The following post may contain the perfect surprise. Let’s celebrate women! DELICATE STRENGTH A shoulder to lean on, conversations that fill you with courage, or a role model who has your back — if there’s a superheroine in your life whose strength and empathy you admire, then you can show her your love. The wall hanging L’AMOUR (€319.95) celebrates femininity and strength, merging the two qualities into an expressive whole. This wall enhancement is available in a limited edition of 300 prints and convinces with its sensual motif of a female portrait printed on 100% eco-cotton. SHARE THE JOY  Even though the paths of some friends might part from yours over time, they will always have a special place in your heart, despite their distance. By sending your far-off friend a floral greeting, you can enjoy a joyful friendship moment with each other. The A5 mini art print WILD FLOWERS (€8.95) in warm earthy tones is a beautiful quality reproduction. The original was painted with natural Balearic Island pigments on vintage paper. A LIFE OF SELF-LOVE Don’t forget to thank yourself and believe in your own strength. You, too, are a power woman in someone’s life, and you should be celebrated. The art print, INNER TRUST (€54.95), combines delicate feminine contours with intense terracotta tones to create a sensual connection and hints at a confidence in your own strength. There’s something peaceful in the ceramic tone, which creates a sense of security and feel-good moments in your home. In this dreamy silhouette, femininity and inner contemplation merge into an expressive moment of self-determination. You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or Pinterest.

Spring Awakening

Spring Awakening

by Tiny de Vries
These 3 ideas will draw spring into your home.   When you feel the sensation of spring tingling in your stomach, your fingers start itching, and you feel like new colours and other changes, then spring is in the air. If the grey winter weather cannot motivate you to go outside, you can simply turn your back on that uncomfortable feeling and start revitalising your four walls with a spring lightness.     In the following post, I present three decor ideas to help you create your own spring paradise. Let's use a few artistic tips to shake our homes out of hibernation into a spring awakening. You can find matching paintings, collages and wall hangings in my online shop, wwww.tinystories.nl.  COLOUR PLEASURE     Crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils are heralds of spring that gradually bring colour and life into the winter grey.  If you love bright spring colours, the art print ROUGE, boasting a female silhouette in bright pink, will suit your taste excellently and become a radiant highlight on your wall. The art print is available in 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm and can be framed if required. If you prefer not to go straight for the solo colour scene, the abstract landscape DE PAYSAGE combines several spring colours, such as purple, yellow, pink and bright blue. The perfect wall accompaniment to a colourful bouquet of tulips on the table.   ORGANIC SHAPES     Be inspired by nature and the language of its forms. Soft curves and curved lines have something protective about them and provide a friendly interior atmosphere. The art print PARADIS VERT (from €54.95) will find a special place in your home as a tribute to the female body and its flowing curves. The artwork's light shades and minimalist design recall the beauty of simplicity and celebrate a spring-like lightness. It’s possible to purchase the art print in sizes 30 x 40 cm or 50 x 70 cm. A DESIRE FOR ADVENTURE    Towards the end of winter, our spirits become awakened, and we’re motivated to plan future trips and excursions that we’d like to experience in the warmer months. The joy of spring increases as, without leaving our homes, we dream about distant places and the blue ocean. The next adventure and boat ride awaits! The art print LETS’S GO ON AN ADVENTURE (€54.95) is a high-quality reproduction with dimensions 30 x 40 cm. I drew the original in blue pencil on antique paper.   You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest.    Love,  Tiny

Favourite kitchen

Create a fresh look with colourful art prints. Looking for a summer decor update to lift your mood? It’s time to say “goodbye, dreary days" and invite the year’s first sun rays into the kitchen. Your cooking area at home is where you enjoy cosy Sunday family breakfasts or pleasant evenings with friends. So, it should be not only practical but beautiful. But what’s the recipe for a summery kitchen? In the following post, I’ll show you how to use three of my favourite wall hangings to give your favourite space a fresh look in just a few simple steps. RELAXATION IN A FRAME When you live with plants in your home, they truly create a haven of relaxation. Very practical if the greenery is already framed, as with the art print VERTE, available in the size 30 x 40 cm. The effect of the colour green is both particularly soothing and stimulating. It provides relaxation and balance, making it ideal for shared spaces like the kitchen. FRUITY COLOURS Your eyes will also join in this feast! The berry tones of the art print SULTRY SKIES will draw everyone's attention, with especially the purple tones standing out. Purple portrays joy and strength, and I recommend using the colour as a cheerful accent, thus creating beautiful highlights. The art print is available in sizes 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm and can be framed if required. IT’S GOING TO BE DELICIOUS! The art print LEMONS, limited to 300 pieces, gleams in bright yellow, a colour that represents warmth as well as activity and creativity. This cheerful hue can cause any room to shine and makes the kitchen particularly inviting. Combine it with smaller accessories in yellow, such as a vase or bowl of lemons, and you’ll have perfected the summer look. The art print is available in a 30 x 40 cm size and is hand-signed by me.

This year, let's avoid those wilting beauties and, instead, surprise our Valentine with sustainable floral joy. How about a floral artwork in your better half’s favourite colour? Tone on tone, the art print LA VIE ROSE (30 x 40 cm, €54.95) brings lively magic into the room with its bright pink tones.

With its soft shades, the abstract art print AWAKENING OF THE SENSES (€64.95) promises to delicately tempt the senses, ensuring a perfect transition from winter to spring.

3 living trends for 2023

3 living trends for 2023

by Tiny de Vries
Hot furnishing trends for the new year!  In 2023 things are getting colourful and individual. 2022 was all about calm colours, cosy furniture and subtleness, but 2023 brings oodles of individualism and self-realisation. Now we can play around with forms, materials, colours and styles.   For my latest blog post, I have delved deeply into the 2023 decor trends, and I can assure you that you won't be able to escape the following three interior trends.   TREND 1:  LOUD COLOURS  The 2023 trend colours (to the blogpost) have revealed some of this, with even furniture and decor accessories showing their colourful, expressive side this year.  White and neutral tones, which have made way for louder colours, are increasingly used as feel-good focal points in the living area. And striking wall pictures, playful carpets and colourful living accessories provide an instant dopamine kick to your four walls.   Matching art prints  BAY VIEW, A4 art print, from €42.45 KOREAN HANDBOK, art print in 30 X 40 cm from €54.95 TREND 2: WELCOME TO UNIQUE AND VINTAGE PIECES  Goodbye to off-the-shelf designs and mass-produced products! This year, the trend is to personalise and express your individuality. Individual pieces and pre-owned objects and furniture are finding their way into our living spaces, and we can combine them at will with the new. Flea market finds are very popular and combine excellently with your existing furniture.    Matching art prints  FOLLOW RIVERS art print, available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm und 50 x 70 cm, from €54.95 SAND AND CORAL, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95 TREND 3: GREENTERIOR  In keeping with our passion for sustainability and environmental consciousness, this trend represents more nature in our interiors. However, the idea is not to decorate your four walls with indoor plants. This year, warm, earthy and coffee tones, natural materials like rattan and seaweed and botanical motives are taking over, especially in the kitchen and dining room. Add a few attractive pottery pieces, and your look will be perfect.   Matching art prints  VERTE, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95 STILL LIFE, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95 You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram or on Pinterest.    Love,  Tiny 
2023 Interior colour trends

2023 Interior colour trends

by Tiny de Vries
Dare something new; dare with colour. My plans for 2023? Having the courage to dare something new, to dare with colour. Let's make a colourful start to this new year by diving into the four main interior colour trends of 2023 – "Lavender Cream", "Red Latex", "Brown Sand", and "Green Deep Lake". In this post, I delve more deeply into these fresh new colour worlds and their effects and present some matching artworks from my online shop www.tinystories.nl. Have fun while you discover your favourite colour for the new year! TREND COLOUR 1: LAVENDER CREAM The soft lilac tone, “Lavender Cream”, is diverse and facilitates diverse moods, radiating peace and cheerfulness. While a deep violet seems extravagant and original, the light "Lavender Cream" is much softer and more relaxing. When you combine it with beige and rust nuances, you can create exciting contrasts. I especially love the friendly aspect of this colour tone. It fills me with peace and relaxation, like a short holiday break from that everyday stress. MATCHING PICTURES LILAC A5 Art card (€ 8.95) CORAL & CHOCOLATE art print (30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm, from €54.95) TREND COLOUR 2: RED LATEX The expressive colour "Red Latex" creates a euphoric mood in interior spaces and can set an extravagant scene for individual furniture pieces and accessories like art prints or vases.  With its WOW effect, this trend colour is very provoking, with a hint of seduction. Optimistic red tones radiate energy and reveal an eagerness to gather new experiences. This colour lends itself to experimentation and unfolds warmth and comfort in these cold winter months. I recommend using lighter natural tones and white to balance the intense red. MATCHING PICTURE DANS LE JARDIN JAPONAIS wall hanging (€299.95), woven 100% organic cotton.   TREND COLOUR 3: BROWN SAND Warm earthy tones, such as Sand, Clay, Ochre and Terracotta, are calming and satisfy that yearning to live close to nature. This trend colour creates a space that grounds us and offers security.  A mixture of a caramel-like brown-orange and a light nude tone, "Brown Sand" exudes the lightness of a Mediterranean summer vacation. Calm colours combine exceptionally well with other nuances and create room for unique interior styling ideas with vintage finds like baskets and ceramics. MATCHING PICTURE AAMER art print (A4 and 30 X 40 cm, from €54.95)   TREND COLOUR 4: GREEN DEEP LAKE The interior space experiences a bold yet sentimental note. This dark blue-green allows us to dive into the colour depths of a lake and seems nostalgic, emotional and secretive. Ensconced between sea blue and leaf green, this trend colour was derived from nature and creates a calming atmosphere in any room. A green tone in an interior space always draws in a part of nature, connecting the indoors to the living outdoors.  Because we’re dealing with a dark shade, the colour "Green Deep Lake" should be used with care, as applying it to a large surface area could make the room seem smaller.   MATCHING PICTURES ÉMERAUDE wall hanging (€179.95) EMERALD GREEN limited art print (A4 and 30 X 40 cm, from €52.45) You can find more decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram @tinystories.nl, or on Pinterest @tinystoriesartshop.
