Tiffany Leigh Interior Design: DIY Large Abstract Canvas

DIY Large Abstract Canvas

Well guys, I said I would, and I did!

Last week I discussed how my beloved gold perfume prints felt out of scale above my couch. I either needed to add a third one, or do something large and abstract. I decided to go large and abstract, and I had so much fun painting this huge canvas (2'x4'). I didn't do any planning, just kind of put brush to canvas and let myself go.

If you're planning on trying this yourself my tips are: 1. Don't overthink it. 2. Stand back every once in awhile to see where you need more. 3. Choose a color scheme that will compliment your space.

I am so happy with the final result!

What do you think? Love or hate?

Unknown said...[Reply]: I love DIY I have gotten really into redoing my house so I have been trying to get inspired. I want to do something to dress up Spiral Stairs because they are plain black metal. I am thinking I want to use black as an accent color to tie them into the room better.; 18 July 2013 at 14:10
