We’re well into 2024 and we’re already thinking of thoughtful yet unexpected ways to revamp our homes. An obvious point of inspiration for interiors is, of course, art, whether it’s a subtle still life or an arresting portrait. One of our favorite recent trends in design is embracing the hand of the artist itself and mimicking the bold brushstrokes and soft touches of paint and watercolor. It’s the sort of thing that makes sense for those with more daring design tastes, but it can also fit right in a more minimalist, pared-back scheme as well. Ready to find your statement piece? Check out a few of our favorites below.
Rug Print Bolster Cushion
Nothing brightens up a sofa or daybed like a colorful throw. This one from Paul Smith brings all the brushstroke vibes, and also comes in a blue-and-yellow color scheme.
Dessert Plate D’Art
Bring a bit of pizzazz to your tablescape with a vibrant set of plates that channel sunny summer days.
Togo Chair in Toile du Peintre by Michel Ducaroy
ICYMI, Ligne Roset’s iconic Togo chair turned 50 last year, so a special, limited-edition upholstery was in order. This one from Pierre Frey transforms the beloved seat into a real work of art.
Food Stand
Need a splashy centerpiece? Look no further than this ceramic beaut, which brings a touch of handcrafted charm to a space.
Meltingpot Table
Kooij’s Meltingpot tables look as if they’re wrapped in marbled paper, but they’re in fact derived from a much less refined material: recycled plastic. Good for the environment, then, and even better for your otherwise beige living room.
Brushstrokes Soup Plates
Lively lime green and subdued navy blue come together to create a truly one-of-a-kind artwork in these plates, which look just as good arranged on your table as they do displayed on your wall as art.
Rotating San Cai Side Table
Designer Matt Watterson brought all the cool blue vibes to this take on ceramics. Bonus: It spins!
Rayas Bowl
Why not give your morning cereal a more stylish vessel? This set of four from Porta, also available in purple, should do the trick.
Paravento Risacca Screen
Some furniture resembles fine art, but this screen, designed by Gaetano Pesce, is a work of art. If the scenic vista alone weren’t enough, there’s also a Bluetooth speaker in the base that plays back the sound of the ocean.
Brushstroke Dinner Plate
The painterly look doesn’t have to be fussy—case in point, this plate, which showcases one simple, elegant brushstroke to maximum effect.
Luna Cabinet
Designeer Filippo Carandini designed this cabinet to stand out rather than blend in. The mix of bold colors is instantly eye-catching, and if that’s not enough, the high-gloss finish creates a shimmering effect.
Christopher John Rogers Gown
Designer Christopher John Rogers brings a touch of the watercolor look to his pre-fall collection.
