Autumn is here!

Autumn is here!

Artworks in warm leafy colours It’s time to get cosy with tinystories. The combination of soft nuances, natural materials and poetic artworks in warm leafy colours will sweeten our autumn. It's time to draw those super-cuddly pillows and blankets out of their summer sleep, light the first candles, and add some variety to our walls with new art prints.  In the following article, I've compiled my favourite art prints for the golden season: JAPANESE CHARMThis delicate drawing of a woman in a kimono celebrates the beauty and culture of Japan. The restrained lines of the monochrome sketch were done in oil pastel on vintage paper. The art print KIMONO is printed on sustainable, chlorine-free paper and is available in two sizes, A4 and 50 x 70 cm (from €42.45). PURE NATUREThe simultaneous simplicity and strength of the art print MARRON (30 x 40 cm, €54.95) create a convincing effect. The vibrant pink floral pattern contrasts wonderfully with the brown background. FIELD OF FLOWERSThe art print WILD FLOWERS has a calming and relaxing effect — a daily reminder to enjoy the beauty of nature. The original artwork was painted in the Balearic Islands, using self-mixed rock chalk and saltwater pigments. The art print is available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm (from €54.95). FLOWERING JAPANThe woman's face glances expressively at the viewer, taking them on a dreamy journey. The art print SAKURA is named after the Japanese cherry blossom, representing beauty, departure, and transience. The quality reproduction is available in 30 x 40 cm (from €54.95).

Natural Living

Naturally beautiful in autumn with three home ideas Whatever combines harmoniously in nature will also spread peace and a cosy ambience in an interior setting. The combination of soft colour nuances, sustainable natural materials and poetic artworks can make the autumn even sweeter. Keeping with the current Natural Living trend, we create a feel-good home with matching art prints, collages, and wall hangings from my online shop, www.tinystories.de. In the following article, I have put together three home ideas for an artistic journey into autumn.  HOME IDEA 1 – A WONDERFUL HARMONY  In autumn, you can add exciting blush, nude and white updates to your home gallery. These popular art prints are uniformly framed in dark oak, creating warmth and elegance. Feminine silhouettes in soft earth tones such as the two-colour art print CATCHING THE SUN (€49.95, 30 x 40 cm), or botanical motifs such as the 50 x 70 cm painting GINGKO (from €98.95) with its dark frame, form pleasing eye-catchers, despite the contrast. HOME IDEA 2 – COMFORTING, SOFT ART JOY  Bedding in the most beautiful earth tones and cushions with colourful ethnic patterns ensure pleasant soft nights. With my large-format wall hangings, things remain soft on the walls. Nature meets its poetic echo, transforming your four walls into a relaxation space. The wall hanging L’AMOUR (151 x 201 cm, €299.95) displays a sensual female portrait as its motif and is kept in natural, soft colours that will immerse the room in an intimate atmosphere. HOME IDEA 3 – LONG LIVE THE LOVE OF COLLECTING  Whether you use them individually or in a group – baskets and ceramic containers are not only practical as o but also highly decorative. They could form the perfect storage spaces for tiny treasures and memorabilia collected on your last summer adventure. Similar shapes and colours create a coherent overall impression. Artworks in beige and earth tones from the same colour family round off the ambience to form a harmonious overall picture. The abstract art print DREAM (from €49.95) is compelling with its simple layered vintage papers — perhaps the beginning of a new art collection?

Eternal summer

Eternal summer

Three artistic home ideas to make summer last a little longer We are currently enjoying the last weeks of summer. So it's about time to extend the most beautiful season of the year at home and create our own breezy paradise with a few tips and tricks. In the following article, I will introduce you to three home ideas that will give your home a makeover that brings soft elegance and preserves the summer feelings. You can find the matching paintings, collages and wall hangings for the eternal summer in my online shop www.tinystories.nl. HOME TIP 1 – CONJURE UP SUMMER LIGHTNESS  Fancy some candy floss and soft serve ice cream? We love that lightness of being in summer. So, let’s exchange the heavy wool blankets and cuddly cushions for brightly coloured and airy textiles such as linen, silk or viscose. Transparent fabrics conjure up a summery atmosphere in no time. Combined with pastel colours or with ethnic-patterned or trendy fringed cushions, these textiles ensure a good mood and cheerful look. We can also embellish our walls with breezy pastel hues, which in the landscape art print CORAL & CHOCOLATE (€49.95) meet with strong earth tones, forming a harmonious connection. This high-quality reproduction is available in 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm sizes. HOME TIP 2 – A TRIP TO THE COUNTRYSIDE  Inspired by summer nature, we enjoy the effect of lively greenery inside our four walls. Pastel green is a perfect choice if you want more lightness, and your room needs a colourful dollop of freshness. Using pastel yellow and gold details such as candlesticks or bowls can create exciting contrasts. However, a light green shade also comes into its own when combined with rust red. In interior design, shades of pastel green and natural materials such as wood and stone form a harmonious combination, which is both modern and relaxing.  Things turn fabulously green with the 30 X 40 cm art print PALMIER (€49.95), a botanical highlight in the home gallery. HOME TIP 3 – A SEA OF FLOWERS  You can add some summer flair to your apartment by using typical blossom colours and textiles or artworks with a variety of different flowers, such as the floral and expressive quality reproduction FLOATING FLOWERS (in A4, from €39.95). All artworks can also be bought framed with high-quality wooden frames. You can find more inspiration in my online shop or on Instagram. Love,
The nature of colours

The nature of colours

Art print ideas for a perfect style mix Delicate, powerful, harmonious or impetuous — nature has an almost unlimited variety of colours, and provides a perfect source of inspiration when we want to update our wall colour.  From morning walks to evening sunsets — spending the day outdoors gives us an insight into the exciting world of different colour palettes. In the following article I have put together my favourite colour inspirations: Colour inspiration 1 – Morning dew on the meadows As the delicate sun rises over the meadow in the early morning, a play of colours starts flooding the green landscape in soft tones. Forest and meadow colours are guaranteed to relax you.  The art print PARADIS VERT (€49.94) invites you to unwind with its female silhouette drawn on white and delicate sage-green vintage paper. Colour inspiration 2 – Bright noonday light Let's dive into the floral art print FLEURS SUR LIN (from €49.95). Your gaze will be drawn into a dreamlike bouquet, where expressive earth tones meet bright pink tones. Your desire for nature will awaken and call you out into the open. The art print is a high-quality reproduction, available in 30x40 cm and 50x70 cm. Colour Inspiration 3 – Gentle Evening Silence After a long day, we start winding down in the evenings and enjoy the gentle magic of muted colours. Soothing shades of grey and dove tones combine with a smoky nude, surrounding us elegantly and quietly.  With its simple, flat vintage paper, the abstract art print LA BALANCÉ (30 x 40 cm, €49.95) helps us "switch off" in the evening. It's perfect for rooms that serve as cosy gathering spaces.   You can find more shopping inspirations in my online shop or on Instagram @tinystories.nl. Love,
