A toast to women!

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.

Guest contribution: A bit of magic with beautiful art prints by the artist, Tiny. This contribution was written and photographed by Daniela from @wunderblumen. Tiny's beautiful pictures have long been finding their way into our home. Her works, created with "heart, love and soul", are sometimes loud and sometimes soft. They might be either colourful or muted, powerful or poetic. But they all have this in common: "They contain a certain magic." I find her art prints look beautiful on their own, yet also when combined with other art prints or on a picture wall. Selecting my favourite picture would prove difficult. However, because of its power and rich colour, I particularly love CORAL & CHOCOLATE. It hung in my daughter's bedroom for a long time, and it’s s to end up there again. Two of Tiny's works, POÈME and SOFT BREEZE, hang in the main bedroom. Here, I chose "quiet" pictures that bring a peaceful atmosphere to the room with their modesty and harmonious colours. Designing a new picture wall is always an experience. The colours of the anticipated hanging, as well as the atmosphere of the room, determine my choice of art prints. My gaze often returns to a particular picture, which then determines the other works, also influencing the accessory colours. This time, the picture was VERTE, with its saturated green leaves on a rose-pink background. These are unusual colours for me, but the picture wouldn't leave my mind, and I started experimenting with it. In the preliminary stage, I always construct a mood board to see how the art prints could combine with the colours of the room. Another favourite of mine is the picture, DREAMY LANDSCAPE, with its harmonious, soft colours. In the end, I combined four pictures that differed in size, colour and motif. I always choose oak frames because they create a connection between all the pictures. Before I hang the pictures, I try out all the possible arrangements on the floor. I move the pictures from left to right, and by continuing this process, I usually find my favourite version. When hanging them, I always try to maintain an equal distance between pictures. It took quite some time before I completed the picture wall. But the wonderful colours and motifs of Tiny's pictures have given the room a completely new atmosphere.
