Making a Statement with Art: Using the Power of Art to Decorate Your Home | Home Builder Edina MN

The making of a home goes far beyond the structure and the features and even the decor.  It's the personal touches that bring life and ambiance into this space you call home.

 Art is colorful, delightful, and visual, but it's also personal.  You might not have created it on your own, but it's a powerful force that evokes something in you -- loudly or quietly -- or pulls together your space to make a statement that the room alone could not give off.

When you decorate with art you not only add a new and exciting visual element, you add something creative and personal.  Here are some fabulous examples of statement-making art used in our very own REFINED built homes.

Pops of Color: Adding Delicious Bursts of Color to Take Your Home Decor up a Notch

The serenity of monochromatic tones is great, but sometimes we all need the excitement and adventure of color in our lives.  Here are a few examples of how pops of color can take already-amazing rooms and bring them up a [style] notch.

We hope you'll enjoy experimenting with adding (or changing) pops of color in your own home!
