Living on the English coast we love the works of the talented Matt Healy.

With pieces from £60, his works could bring a focal point to a room. Own a piece of unique art and support talented independent artist.

About;

Born and raised in the North London Edgelands, an early fascination with the English Romantic poets and artists shaped these landscapes into realms of almost religious significance.

Employing materials and symbols found in these spaces I aim to create a space for the viewer to project upon, reflect within and create a personal cosmology.

Through repetition and distortions in context words and images are allowed room to be re investigated and re invested with personal meanings from each individual interpretation.

Primarily a painter, I have been researching and experimenting with walking and land art.

All this time at home, we might start to think about updating a room, hunting for new furniture or just finding a great new feature piece.

At this time, and always, we love to shout about great independent businesses still working hard to, safely, bring beautiful furniture into our homes.

Lovely + Co has a beautifully curated collection of incredible vintage furniture, accessories, lighting plus a well chosen selection of prints and artwork.

A key trend to keep an eye out for this year is arches. The rounded shape of an arch softens a space whether it’s from a mirror, a piece of furniture or a doorway.

Unless you happen to live in a Spanish villa or a Moroccan road you may be lacking arches in your architecture, so take inspiration from the many products available to create a calm inviting room.

Mirrors are a great place to start, and the bigger the better. You can also get the arch shape from a curved floor lamp, it’s more subtle but will still draw your eye.

Image from arch lovers 2lgstudio

Be bold and create arches on your walls with a printed wallpaper or perhaps using paint to draw out shapes. Whatever your style, you can bring some curve appeal to your home.
