POP ART

Dilemma: Since four young kids share this living room with their parents, we wanted to add some color and fun on the kids’ side to create a more personal, inviting space for them.

Before After

Solution: We wanted a wall of artwork that would capture the kids’ personalities without looking like school photos. We played with the kids outside and took close-up photos of them having fun.

Cathy presents pop art

We sent these photos to our graphic artist, along with a picture of the orange fabric in our pillows and the orange accent color in the TV niche.

We looked for square frames but could not find any, so opted for frames that were a little more vertical, from Walmart. To create the illusion of an Andy Warhol-type square pop art treatment, we had our graphic artist add each child’s name in a band across the bottom of his or her photo.

The orange tones tie in with the accent color in the pillows and paint and the black frame picks up on the black wood throughout the space.

The result? A pop of color and fun that personalizes the space for the kids, and best of all, can only be seen from their side of the living room, from the stairs and from the second-story landing leading to their bedrooms.

Who Did What

Kara Wagner took the photos; graphic artist Katie Muncie designed the artwork, and Valenti Print Group printed the images on a heavy, cardboard-like stock.
