Avalisa Stretched Wall Art
April 29th, 2008
If your walls are any shade of white or buttercream, we have one word for you: drab! Enter Avalisa Stretched Wall Art, designed by Lisa Masterson. We like to mix and match the collections, while staying within one bold color palette (note the brilliant orange cityscape pictured here). Each piece of art is handmade to order and the company offers handy tips for making a room pop. For instance, you can buy a 28×28 pattern and put a 12×12 pattern on each side to add more movement or choose one design and get it in multiples colors. The company also offers hand-tufted New Zealand wool rugs and will launch children’s games and crib bedding this summer.
