The Cultivated Home

Ever find yourself searching for wallpaper and not finding what you want?  We have found the solution!  ROLLOUT is a creative design studio out of Vancouver that designs and digitally prints custom wallpapers.  Another big plus, besides the fact that their wallpaper is custom to what you want, is that their wallpapers are an actual latex based paper, and they use water based ink.  This makes their wallpaper more eco friendly than vinyl wallpaper.

Besides their custom wallpaper, ROLLOUT also has a featured Artist Collection from an array of different designers.  Check out Golden Fawn by David Hall, Anita Modha, and Jonathan Nodrick or The Owl, The Cat, & The Hand by Pandarosa.  New designs are unveiling soon, and we cannot wait!

Ever wanted to test of a piece of art in your home before actually buying it?  With KiptonART’s rental program, you finally can!  They have a portfolio of over 700 emerging artists containing all mediums, styles, and price points.  Not to mention, twenty percent of your annual payment will go into an art fund, which can be used as a credit towards an art purchase so, if you like what you see, you can eventually acquire your own fabulous piece of art!

Renting artwork has never been easier!

A great piece of art can add color to a room and a focal point that will make a house a home.  Here at CH we always love finding new art sources that can help bring artwork into your home at a reasonable price.  When we found Eyestorm’s Online Gallery this weekend, we knew we had to share it with you!

Eyestorm is an online gallery of contemporary art from significant artists in the UK.  They have a fabulous weekly newsletter that keeps you updated on new art and upcoming events.  You can also sign up for your own account called “Mystorm”, which remembers your purchases, what type of art you like, and can help you build your art collection!  They even have a “scale assistant” to assist you in visualizing the piece on your wall before you even receive it.  It’s like your own personal art deal—how cool is that?

It can be hard for recent, art school graduates to start their careers and reach a large audience, but the amazing site, UGallery.com, has been able to accomplish this goal and match talented people with art buyers all over the world.  The art on this site is curated by an amazing group of art professionals, so you know you are getting something special.  Plus, with prices ranging from about $100 to $4,000, there is something for everyone to love and enjoy.  Our favorite part of this site is their ability to filter the art by medium, size, color, price, and art school.  Plus, their new addition of a “virtual wall” allows you to take the pieces you love and hang them on a “wall” in order to understand scale, color, etc.

Even if you are not interested in buying art, this site is still great to play around with and discover.  Check it out today!
