April Interiors Newsletter - Art & Decoration

 

Dear Reader,

In my recent House Guest podcast with interior design studio Aldridge and Supple, ex-model Saffron Aldridge talks about her love of art and how she visits exhibitions and fairs looking for the ideal piece for a client's house. You may well bump into her at The Decorative Fair, May 7-9, a rich hunting ground, not just for pictures but furniture, lighting and textiles. We've put together some tips on art and decoration with advice on hanging your pictures and our decoration picks. Another exhibition on our radar is the Future Fabrics Expo in June. Make a date in your diary (25-26 June) – it's a fascinating showcase of sustainable and responsibly produced textiles – a real eye-opener. 

I'll be there.

Arts & Decoration Special

This spring’s Decorative Fair (7-12 May) focuses on bespoke craftship within interiors… So if you’re thinking of scooping up a unique find or new prized possession, this is where to lurk. Here is Olivia Emily’s guide to the arts and antique fairs happening across 2024.

A frame makes all the difference – will it be a scalloped affair? Or a minimalist outline that doesn’t distract from its contents? These are our most coveted picture frames for your beloved art and photography.

Finally found that perfect art piece? Time to think about arranging it. Amy Wakeham asked interior experts how to make a picture-perfect home gallery – covering everything from hanging to lighting tips.

Little objets and pieces of decor go a long way. Here’s our antique of the week: a Victorian wingback chair. Wondering where to find antiques online? Look no further than these brilliant sites.
