Welcome to our brand new video series on Designing for Home Décor. We’re so glad you’ve joined us!
This week you’ll gain an insight into the world of home décor and start to think about how to translate your art from paper or screen to different substrates and materials. Part 1 is below.
The home décor industry is huge. Chances are you can look around right now and spot some artwork on a rug, a cushion, a coaster, a stool or a table top. What kind of home items can you picture your art on?
This video series is a great introduction to our upcoming course, MATS – Creating Collections for Home Décor. The 5-week course will help you refine your ideas, design your collection and create a comprehensive, professional and winning home décor pitch presentation to wow art directors internationally.

Fun challenge: Look around your house – start a Pinterest board or three of your favourite home décor looks. I have several – they really help me to sort through & organize. I find Pinterest an invaluable tool. Check my Pinterest boards out here.

Want a piece of the $60 Billion Home Decor industry?
What is home décor? It’s all the gorgeous and/or functional items in your house. It’s a booming market that needs tons of art, with over $60 billion in annual sales. Its massive growth is due in part to the popularity of home design TV shows, Pinterest, and Instagram, and stylish online retailers like One Kings Lane and Dot&Bo.
Art directors NEED your great art!
Our next live e-course, Make Art That Sells: Creating Collections for Home Décor starts January 25th and teaches you everything you need to know to create killer presentations with your art. Registration is open and we look forward to seeing your gorgeous designs.
