IIHA explores how to reimagine your home by blending modern and historical elements.

When it comes to designing living spaces, art can be left as an afterthought in both planning and budget. What is often forgotten is the great potential that art has to define style and completely transform a project, whether it is by setting tone, mood, aesthetic or story. When we prioritize art, we are elevating the cultural narrative told by space itself, allowing for people to live amongst beautiful things, impactful stories, as well as traditions. So no matter what your design style may be, Invest in Her Art urges you to let art take center stage and help to tell the story of your life.

Our interior of the week was this St. Louis home designed by architect Peter Rose and designer Heather Wells that brings together traditional sensibilities with contemporary styles. The owners' growing and adventurous art collection, as featured in Galerie Magazine, emphasizes colorful pops throughout furniture and textiles that accentuate and animate both the rooms and the collection. We love the pairings of carefully chosen, soft textures with contemporary lines.
