ART

Artworks on your walls is a reminder that you are still an adult with grown-up interests and tastes, even if you spend most of your day negotiating with a toddler. Art adds colour, texture and a bit of polish to a space and, as it usually sits up high, it is out of the reach of inquisitive little hands. A big artwork in your living room makes a statement and can distract your guests from the toys and books scattered around. It’s kind of equivalent to slapping on some lipstick when you haven’t had time to do your hair – this might be another trick that gets you through those tough days!
