Feature Friday: Rooms Inspired by Aboriginal Art

My guest poster today is Mari from Arcadian Lighting.  When she told me she was doing a post based on interiors inspired by Aboriginal Art, I wasn't sure what to expect.   I am pleasantly surprised by the beautiful spaces she shares below. I like the global-inspired influence in these rooms.  Do you have a favorite? 

Hi, all! It's Mari here, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, the place for light fixtures and lighting trends online. I love my job because I get to search for images of great interior designs and decorating ideas to share with readers of blogs such as Saved by Suzy.

Today's guest post is inspired by aboriginal art, sometimes called Indigenous Australian art. Adding movement, color and life, these appealing works of art can be merged into many design styles. They look especially beautiful in sleek white spaces and take even the most stylish of contemporary rooms to a whole new level. Thanks for letting me share. Enjoy!

This lovely room, designed by Australian interior designer Anna Spiro, is all about color. Bright pink and turquoise work beautifully with the exquisitely detailed aboriginal artwork.

Sometimes black and white can make as strong a design statement as deep rich hues can. Such is the case in this modern dining space with lovely black and white wall art and hanging light fixtures.

This eclectic dining room is brought to life by a lovely example of Australian aboriginal artwork. The white walls provide a perfect background to showcase this colorful piece, while these types of crystal chandeliers illuminate the room.

Malene B's Signature carpet collection translates Indigenous Australian dot art is into carpet in luxurious wool and silk. Wouldn't this rug be marvelous in a modern living room or dining room?

A stunning living space with its display of aboriginal art takes the breath away. One could envision spending years searching every last detail of these marvelous creations.

Pale hues and a much more subdued color palette in the wall art create a retreat-like feel in this appealing bedroom design. Contemporary pendant lights are unexpected but work well with the more organic feel of the indigenous art.

Doesn't the art look stunning against an upholstered wall in this comfortable den? What an inviting room to come home to!

This framed aboriginal art purchased on a trip to Australia, is perfect over a family room fireplace because it merges beautifully with the rustic decorative accessories in the space. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
