Welcome to the bedroom of your dreams! A SPAce where you can unwind and recover from your daily stress. But how can you ensure your bedroom's transformation into a new feel-good room?
I have three tips to help you create a cosy, modern and art-filled bedroom. In my online shop, wwww.tinystories.nl, you can discover the ideal art prints, collages and wall hangings for your personal bedroom update.
Make way! Focus on the essentials and create a peaceful eye-catcher in your bedroom. A large work of art above the bed or on the opposite wall could be a central decorative element in the bedroom and significantly influence the overall mood.
As a large-format solo piece, the wall-hanging LISTEN TO THE SILENCE (€179.95), with its warm earth tones, creates a cosy atmosphere that invites you to relax.
The 70 x 100 cm BLUE EYES wall hanging (€179.95) provides a charismatic, artistic touch with a female portrait as its motif. Large-format works like these need space to unfold their special effect and will skilfully work their stand-alone magic on a wall.
It's time for soft powder tones to sweeten your bedroom ambience and bring a touch of lightness. Spring colour nuances, delicate pastel tones, and discreet motifs create an airy sense around your bed – that island of relaxation.
The large-scale print SUMMER MORNING (from €54.95) and the abstract landscape SOFT BREEZE (from €42.45) both create the optical effect of restraint and invite you to breathe deeply. Exciting colour combinations arise when we allow individual colours to repeat in different areas of the bedroom interior. Individual cushions, decoratively placed coat hangers, favourite books or flower pots act as companions to the art prints, picking up their delicate pink and restrained grey tones.
Houseplants for the bedroom are incredibly decorative and also improve the indoor climate, filtering pollutants from the air. Your new botanical friends will transform the bedroom into a green sleep oasis, rewarding both you and your green fingers with their soothing effect.
The VERTE art print (from €54.95) is a beautiful, easy-care companion to a peace lily or ivy plant in your bedroom. The painted foliage adds a natural freshness to liven up your bedroom. And if you don't want to embellish your walls with nails or glued picture hooks, you can place small artworks, like the art card GINGKO (€8.95), on a shelf or bedside table.

]]>PINK ON THE PODIUM
Rosy prospects are in store for you and your home. You can add a soft pink upgrade to your home gallery to prevent a monotonous look when concentrating on natural colours. Earth tones are suddenly coming out strong, and combining powder pink can add a flattering, airy note.
In the art print MOUNTAINS AT DAWN (€54.95), the pink background sets the tone and acts as the colour protagonist, creating a gentle stage for the cool grey, white and blue shades of the mountain landscape.
BELLE MATINÉE (€54.95) is another art print that provides a harmonious balance to an interior in restrained natural colours. Of course, all good things in pink come in threes.
So, the art print TINY LITTLE THINGS (€54.95) should not be missing from your new picture gallery, because it’s the little things in life that often bring the greatest joy.

Spring is in the air, and our anticipation of Easter is rising. The colourful family celebration is almost upon us. Now is the perfect time for families to start their creative projects, enjoy the fragrance of spring flowers, snack on chocolate Easter eggs and decide on little gifts for visiting family and friends.
In this post, I’ll reveal two decor and gift ideas that will bring joy to everyone this Easter. Start your Easter browsing in my online shop, www.tinystories.nl and discover paintings, collages and wall hangings for your artistic Easter nest.
It’s an EGG-cellent time to start crafting! In the run-up to Easter, young and old love crafting together – drawing, decorating and cutting out bunnies, eggs and other spring decorations. So, why not choose a more creative way to present gifts to your guests this Easter? Make your loved ones happy – surprise them with an A4 art card. How about pegging a few cards to a ribbon and creating a garland above your Easter table? Or you could combine beautiful art cards like CORAL (€16.95) or FLEUR POURPRES (€8.95) with your decorated eggs to garnish each plate on your Easter table. And voila! You've found your artistic Easter gifts that double up as decor.
The radiant joy of daffodils! Because they're usually in full bloom during Easter, these charming spring flowers are also known as Easter bells. They love a little stage in your home to radiate their joyful colour. Why not place a beautiful vase of daffodils on a small table, surrounded by yellow décor elements like candles or painted Easter eggs? This spring yellow has hardly any colour-equal when it comes to providing joie de vivre, holiness and joy. The art print, LEMONS (€64.95, 30 x 40 cm), with its radiant lemon yellow, brings a pleasant spring freshness into any room. Give your daffodil ensemble another yellow companion on the wall with the art print FOLLOW THE SUN (€42.45, A4), a female silhouette in muted ochre.
There’s something magical about a forest. A long walk through the lush, deep green, with trees, plants and soft birdsong all around you, brings about peace and relaxation. On 21 March, we celebrate the International Day of Forest. Can you think of any better reason to find inspiration in nature and bring the wonderful forest effect into your apartment?
In the following article, I’ve compiled my favourite inspirations and ideas to help you transform your home into a green meadow.
A shoulder to lean on, conversations that fill you with courage, or a role model who has your back — if there’s a superheroine in your life whose strength and empathy you admire, then you can show her your love. The wall hanging L’AMOUR (€319.95) celebrates femininity and strength, merging the two qualities into an expressive whole. This wall enhancement is available in a limited edition of 300 prints and convinces with its sensual motif of a female portrait printed on 100% eco-cotton.
Even though the paths of some friends might part from yours over time, they will always have a special place in your heart, despite their distance. By sending your far-off friend a floral greeting, you can enjoy a joyful friendship moment with each other. The A5 mini art print WILD FLOWERS (€8.95) in warm earthy tones is a beautiful quality reproduction. The original was painted with natural Balearic Island pigments on vintage paper.
Don’t forget to thank yourself and believe in your own strength. You, too, are a power woman in someone’s life, and you should be celebrated. The art print, INNER TRUST (€54.95), combines delicate feminine contours with intense terracotta tones to create a sensual connection and hints at a confidence in your own strength. There’s something peaceful in the ceramic tone, which creates a sense of security and feel-good moments in your home. In this dreamy silhouette, femininity and inner contemplation merge into an expressive moment of self-determination.
When you feel the sensation of spring tingling in your stomach, your fingers start itching, and you feel like new colours and other changes, then spring is in the air. If the grey winter weather cannot motivate you to go outside, you can simply turn your back on that uncomfortable feeling and start revitalising your four walls with a spring lightness.
In the following post, I present three decor ideas to help you create your own spring paradise. Let's use a few artistic tips to shake our homes out of hibernation into a spring awakening. You can find matching paintings, collages and wall hangings in my online shop, wwww.tinystories.nl.
Crocuses, hyacinths and daffodils are heralds of spring that gradually bring colour and life into the winter grey. If you love bright spring colours, the art print ROUGE, boasting a female silhouette in bright pink, will suit your taste excellently and become a radiant highlight on your wall. The art print is available in 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm and can be framed if required.
If you prefer not to go straight for the solo colour scene, the abstract landscape DE PAYSAGE combines several spring colours, such as purple, yellow, pink and bright blue. The perfect wall accompaniment to a colourful bouquet of tulips on the table.
Be inspired by nature and the language of its forms. Soft curves and curved lines have something protective about them and provide a friendly interior atmosphere. The art print PARADIS VERT (from €54.95) will find a special place in your home as a tribute to the female body and its flowing curves. The artwork's light shades and minimalist design recall the beauty of simplicity and celebrate a spring-like lightness. It’s possible to purchase the art print in sizes 30 x 40 cm or 50 x 70 cm.
Towards the end of winter, our spirits become awakened, and we’re motivated to plan future trips and excursions that we’d like to experience in the warmer months. The joy of spring increases as, without leaving our homes, we dream about distant places and the blue ocean. The next adventure and boat ride awaits! The art print LETS’S GO ON AN ADVENTURE (€54.95) is a high-quality reproduction with dimensions 30 x 40 cm. I drew the original in blue pencil on antique paper.

Looking for a summer decor update to lift your mood? It’s time to say “goodbye, dreary days" and invite the year’s first sun rays into the kitchen. Your cooking area at home is where you enjoy cosy Sunday family breakfasts or pleasant evenings with friends. So, it should be not only practical but beautiful.
But what’s the recipe for a summery kitchen? In the following post, I’ll show you how to use three of my favourite wall hangings to give your favourite space a fresh look in just a few simple steps.
When you live with plants in your home, they truly create a haven of relaxation. Very practical if the greenery is already framed, as with the art print VERTE, available in the size 30 x 40 cm. The effect of the colour green is both particularly soothing and stimulating. It provides relaxation and balance, making it ideal for shared spaces like the kitchen.
Your eyes will also join in this feast! The berry tones of the art print SULTRY SKIES will draw everyone's attention, with especially the purple tones standing out. Purple portrays joy and strength, and I recommend using the colour as a cheerful accent, thus creating beautiful highlights. The art print is available in sizes 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm and can be framed if required.
The art print LEMONS, limited to 300 pieces, gleams in bright yellow, a colour that represents warmth as well as activity and creativity. This cheerful hue can cause any room to shine and makes the kitchen particularly inviting. Combine it with smaller accessories in yellow, such as a vase or bowl of lemons, and you’ll have perfected the summer look. The art print is available in a 30 x 40 cm size and is hand-signed by me.

In 2023 things are getting colourful and individual. 2022 was all about calm colours, cosy furniture and subtleness, but 2023 brings oodles of individualism and self-realisation. Now we can play around with forms, materials, colours and styles.
For my latest blog post, I have delved deeply into the 2023 decor trends, and I can assure you that you won't be able to escape the following three interior trends.
The 2023 trend colours (to the blogpost) have revealed some of this, with even furniture and decor accessories showing their colourful, expressive side this year. White and neutral tones, which have made way for louder colours, are increasingly used as feel-good focal points in the living area. And striking wall pictures, playful carpets and colourful living accessories provide an instant dopamine kick to your four walls.
Matching art prints
BAY VIEW, A4 art print, from €42.45
KOREAN HANDBOK, art print in 30 X 40 cm from €54.95
Goodbye to off-the-shelf designs and mass-produced products! This year, the trend is to personalise and express your individuality. Individual pieces and pre-owned objects and furniture are finding their way into our living spaces, and we can combine them at will with the new. Flea market finds are very popular and combine excellently with your existing furniture.
Matching art prints
FOLLOW RIVERS art print, available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm und 50 x 70 cm, from €54.95
SAND AND CORAL, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95
In keeping with our passion for sustainability and environmental consciousness, this trend represents more nature in our interiors. However, the idea is not to decorate your four walls with indoor plants. This year, warm, earthy and coffee tones, natural materials like rattan and seaweed and botanical motives are taking over, especially in the kitchen and dining room. Add a few attractive pottery pieces, and your look will be perfect.
Matching art prints
VERTE, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95
STILL LIFE, art print in 30 x 40 cm, from €54.95

My plans for 2023? Having the courage to dare something new, to dare with colour. Let's make a colourful start to this new year by diving into the four main interior colour trends of 2023 – "Lavender Cream", "Red Latex", "Brown Sand", and "Green Deep Lake".
In this post, I delve more deeply into these fresh new colour worlds and their effects and present some matching artworks from my online shop www.tinystories.nl. Have fun while you discover your favourite colour for the new year!
The soft lilac tone, “Lavender Cream”, is diverse and facilitates diverse moods, radiating peace and cheerfulness. While a deep violet seems extravagant and original, the light "Lavender Cream" is much softer and more relaxing. When you combine it with beige and rust nuances, you can create exciting contrasts. I especially love the friendly aspect of this colour tone. It fills me with peace and relaxation, like a short holiday break from that everyday stress.
MATCHING PICTURES
LILAC A5 Art card (€ 8.95)
CORAL & CHOCOLATE art print (30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm, from €54.95)
The expressive colour "Red Latex" creates a euphoric mood in interior spaces and can set an extravagant scene for individual furniture pieces and accessories like art prints or vases. With its WOW effect, this trend colour is very provoking, with a hint of seduction. Optimistic red tones radiate energy and reveal an eagerness to gather new experiences. This colour lends itself to experimentation and unfolds warmth and comfort in these cold winter months. I recommend using lighter natural tones and white to balance the intense red.
MATCHING PICTURE
DANS LE JARDIN JAPONAIS wall hanging (€299.95), woven 100% organic cotton.
Warm earthy tones, such as Sand, Clay, Ochre and Terracotta, are calming and satisfy that yearning to live close to nature. This trend colour creates a space that grounds us and offers security. A mixture of a caramel-like brown-orange and a light nude tone, "Brown Sand" exudes the lightness of a Mediterranean summer vacation. Calm colours combine exceptionally well with other nuances and create room for unique interior styling ideas with vintage finds like baskets and ceramics.
MATCHING PICTURE
AAMER art print (A4 and 30 X 40 cm, from €54.95)
MATCHING PICTURES
ÉMERAUDE wall hanging (€179.95)
EMERALD GREEN limited art print (A4 and 30 X 40 cm, from €52.45)

This contribution was written and photographed by Daniela from @wunderblumen.
Tiny's beautiful pictures have long been finding their way into our home. Her works, created with "heart, love and soul", are sometimes loud and sometimes soft. They might be either colourful or muted, powerful or poetic. But they all have this in common: "They contain a certain magic."
I find her art prints look beautiful on their own, yet also when combined with other art prints or on a picture wall.
Selecting my favourite picture would prove difficult. However, because of its power and rich colour, I particularly love CORAL & CHOCOLATE. It hung in my daughter's bedroom for a long time, and it’s s to end up there again.
Two of Tiny's works, POÈME and SOFT BREEZE, hang in the main bedroom. Here, I chose "quiet" pictures that bring a peaceful atmosphere to the room with their modesty and harmonious colours.
Designing a new picture wall is always an experience. The colours of the anticipated hanging, as well as the atmosphere of the room, determine my choice of art prints. My gaze often returns to a particular picture, which then determines the other works, also influencing the accessory colours.
This time, the picture was VERTE, with its saturated green leaves on a rose-pink background. These are unusual colours for me, but the picture wouldn't leave my mind, and I started experimenting with it. In the preliminary stage, I always construct a mood board to see how the art prints could combine with the colours of the room. Another favourite of mine is the picture, DREAMY LANDSCAPE, with its harmonious, soft colours. In the end, I combined four pictures that differed in size, colour and motif. I always choose oak frames because they create a connection between all the pictures.
Before I hang the pictures, I try out all the possible arrangements on the floor. I move the pictures from left to right, and by continuing this process, I usually find my favourite version. When hanging them, I always try to maintain an equal distance between pictures.
It took quite some time before I completed the picture wall. But the wonderful colours and motifs of Tiny's pictures have given the room a completely new atmosphere.

]]>The botanical motif GINGKO (€8.95) is a leaf painting in light beige and gold tones, a relaxing focal point on your wall, promising the enduring joy of nature.
Art has an extraordinary way of creating joy. It's as individual as each one of us.
Surrounded by layers of vintage paper in various shades of green, the pink square's radiance will captivate you. The art print EMERALD GREEN ( A4, from €52.45), limited to 300 copies, is hand-numbered and signed by the artist in soft pencil.
The art print CITRONS À L'INDIGO, available in A4 for €42.45, is a luminous display of colour inspired by the street markets of Marrakesh.
In the art print CHALK & TANGERINE (from €42.45), delicate shades of soft pink and grey are artfully challenged by a powerful red that forms a direct dialogue with the viewer. This quality reproduction, with the original done on vintage paper, is available in A4, 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm.
This monoprint (€54.95), inspired by the intoxicating city of Marrakesh, is available in a 30 x 40 cm size. At sunset, the city, also known as the “red city” due to the colour of its walls, reveals itself in a colourful cloak of dark red tones, expressed in the work MARRAKESH.
Slowly but surely, we’re ringing in the pre-Christmas season and starting to celebrate its cosy magic. As we do this, we reflect on what is essential and celebrate the "Minimalist Christmas" home trend. In this article, I will show you how to artistically achieve the effect and introduce three decorative ideas for a relaxed Christmas season.
Autumn has been clothing our trees in their coats of many colours, and these natural tones have moved indoors as well. The interplay between different red tones, muted and subtle shades of brown and various yellow nuances can sustain this autumn feeling. Light grey and pastel tones make the look less severe, adding a lightness to the harmonious autumn picture.
In the following article, I’ve put together three styling tips for a cosy autumn ambience:
Cushions, cushions, and more cushions. Besides using matching shades, patterns and various fabrics, you can also create a cosy and autumnal ambience by playing around with the number of cushions and creating a decorative, cuddly island. Because a cushion doesn't like to be left all alone…
Individual dried flowers and branches or artfully arranged bouquets which can be effectively staged in combination with artwork can bring long-lasting joy.
Create warmth and comfort on your walls. You can achieve this by creating an interplay between different colours or through a picture gallery where you arrange several pictures and frames on the wall or the floor.

This delicate drawing of a woman in a kimono celebrates the beauty and culture of Japan. The restrained lines of the monochrome sketch were done in oil pastel on vintage paper. The art print KIMONO is printed on sustainable, chlorine-free paper and is available in two sizes, A4 and 50 x 70 cm (from €42.45).
PURE NATURE
The simultaneous simplicity and strength of the art print MARRON (30 x 40 cm, €54.95) create a convincing effect. The vibrant pink floral pattern contrasts wonderfully with the brown background.
FIELD OF FLOWERS
The art print WILD FLOWERS has a calming and relaxing effect — a daily reminder to enjoy the beauty of nature. The original artwork was painted in the Balearic Islands, using self-mixed rock chalk and saltwater pigments. The art print is available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm (from €54.95).
FLOWERING JAPAN
The woman's face glances expressively at the viewer, taking them on a dreamy journey. The art print SAKURA is named after the Japanese cherry blossom, representing beauty, departure, and transience. The quality reproduction is available in 30 x 40 cm (from €54.95).
Fancy some candy floss and soft serve ice cream? We love that lightness of being in summer. So, let’s exchange the heavy wool blankets and cuddly cushions for brightly coloured and airy textiles such as linen, silk or viscose. Transparent fabrics conjure up a summery atmosphere in no time. Combined with pastel colours or with ethnic-patterned or trendy fringed cushions, these textiles ensure a good mood and cheerful look. We can also embellish our walls with breezy pastel hues, which in the landscape art print CORAL & CHOCOLATE (€49.95) meet with strong earth tones, forming a harmonious connection. This high-quality reproduction is available in 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm sizes.
Inspired by summer nature, we enjoy the effect of lively greenery inside our four walls. Pastel green is a perfect choice if you want more lightness, and your room needs a colourful dollop of freshness. Using pastel yellow and gold details such as candlesticks or bowls can create exciting contrasts. However, a light green shade also comes into its own when combined with rust red. In interior design, shades of pastel green and natural materials such as wood and stone form a harmonious combination, which is both modern and relaxing. Things turn fabulously green with the 30 X 40 cm art print PALMIER (€49.95), a botanical highlight in the home gallery.
You might feel a nagging wanderlust pulling you toward the wide world. The next trip is sure to come, but in the meantime, you could already set the holiday scene in your own home with the latest decorative favourites: a short trip to the seaside, into the jungle or into the land of the rising sun, Japan.
On my travels, I find new sources of inspiration for my art and collect unique materials like brushes and paper. I combine both elements in my poetic and exotic artworks, which allow you to live as if you are already on holiday. You can find these works in my online shop tinystories.nl. Holiday flair for the home, so to speak!
Immerse yourself in the colours of the sea and get an extra dose of vitamin sea. As our colour themes, we use light wood tones, white and, especially, every imaginable nuance of blue to invite a fresh breeze through your apartment. In combination with maritime furniture and accessories, you can sink into the blue of the ocean when you look at the 30 x 40 cm art print INTO THE BLUE (€59.95) or laze on the sofa at home, dreaming of the next beach trip and the fine sand under our feet. The picture is available in a limited edition of 300.
Tropical diversity and green flora create a jungle atmosphere at home. You can easily obtain this effect in a 30 x 40 cm or 50 x 70 cm picture format on your wall. The artwork BALI (from €49.95) allows the viewer to dive into the exotic green world of Indonesia. It’s a high-quality reproduction. The original painting was painted with Japanese brushes on vintage paper. This tropical motif can unfold its full effect in combination with other green decorative elements, such as a monstera or banana leaf placed in a sisal pot next to the artwork.
Why choose between Copenhagen and Tokyo if both are possible? Scandinavian sobriety combines with Japanese elegance: Welcome to the much-loved Japandi style! The straight-line look with its clear design language is grounded in high-quality natural materials, illustrating that "Less is more". The abstract, two-dimensional art print AWAKENING OF THE SENSES (30 x 40 cm, €59.95) combines a Scandinavian colour palette with white, pastel black and grey.

]]>Let's welcome the mood-enhancing colour blue! Intense blue tones are taking over our walls this summer to create a happy home and feel-good atmosphere. The calming and clear colour positively affects both body and mind, even in its more intense nuances. It can elevate your mood and help you concentrate and focus. Blue decorative elements can work wonders, especially in the areas surrounding your desk.
Below, I have compiled my three favourite blue art prints:
The art print INDIGO FLOWERS (from €59.95 and limited to 300 copies) is available in the size 30 x 40 cm. Tightly packed floral silhouettes are kept in a deep blue tone and provide a naturally beautiful interior.
The art print INTO THE BLUE (from €59.95) promises to relax your eyes. Strong blue shades meet a breezy pastel tone and form a harmonious connection. The abstract art print is a high-quality, limited-edition reproduction, and is available in the size 30 x 40 cm.
The bright yellow art print CITRONS à L‘INDIGO (from €39.95) speaks of warm summer evenings and southern countries. Embrace your wanderlust and enjoy the exotic charisma of this work, painted in Morocco. This quality reproduction is available in an A4 size – framed or unframed.
I share travel inspirations, personal snapshots and special finds from the world of art and interiors on Instagram @tinystories.nl or on my Pinterest channel @tinystoriesartshop.
There are many destinations for those with wanderlust or a desire to travel. Set off into the wide world by starting right here in your home. Allow my exotic artworks with their vibrant colours to lead the way. During my travels, I always collect new sources of inspiration and unique materials. I then combine both in my artworks and invite you to immerse yourself in these distant locations of yearning at www.tinystories.nl.
In the article below, you can find my highlight art works:
This monoprint, inspired by the intoxicating city of Marrakesh (€49.95), is available in a 30 x 40 cm size. Known as the “red city” because of the colour of its walls, Marrakesh reveals its colourful cloak of dark red tones at sunset, as I express in this work.
In this abstract, two-dimensional print with soft grey and beige tones, I center my love for the coast and the Frisian islands where I spent my childhood holidays. The 30 x 40 cm art print Coast (€49. 95) is available in a limited edition of a total of 300 pieces.
The sensual and simultaneously powerful portrait of a woman captivates the viewer's gaze. On my trip through Korea, I acquired special handmade brushes that inspired me to create the motif Korean Flowers (from €39.95). This quality reproduction of the original on vintage paper is available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm and 50 x 70 cm.
"Memories of Bali...
I walk home through rice paddies,
emerald paddy fields.
Whispering blades of grass
swaying in the gentle breeze.
Let's go wandering again
drawn by the innocence
of these deep green rice paddies."
Tiny de Vries
The idea for this painting came about during a hike through the emerald green rice fields of Bali. We inhale deeply, our mind comes to rest, while our eyes become immersed in the vibrant blue and green tones of the landscape impression Bali (€49.95) and are allowed to recover from the outside world. The art print is available in a 30 x 40 cm size in my online shop www.tinystories.nl.

Relax and lean back – that's what summer's all about. Even before we swap our desks for hammocks and soft, foot-massaging beach sand , we could start our journey right here at home by creating our own summer oasis. Sensual silhouettes and portraits, floral still lifes, dreamy landscapes and abstract works – summer starts at home.
In the following article I have put together my favourite art prints for a sunny outlook:
In the art print CHALK & TANGERINE (from €37.95), delicate pink and grey nuances are artfully countered by a powerful red that draws the viewer into a direct dialogue. This quality reproduction of an original on vintage paper is available in A4, 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm.
Summer holiday greeting cards are available in the form of the A5 mini art print SEA YOU SOON (€6.95). Whether you use it on your own wall as an invitation to daydream or as a greeting card for travelling friends, palm trees in front of a pink sky always form the most beautiful mood enhancer.
Delicate, powerful, harmonious or impetuous — nature has an almost unlimited variety of colours, and provides a perfect source of inspiration when we want to update our wall colour. From morning walks to evening sunsets — spending the day outdoors gives us an insight into the exciting world of different colour palettes.
In the following article I have put together my favourite colour inspirations:
As the delicate sun rises over the meadow in the early morning, a play of colours starts flooding the green landscape in soft tones. Forrest and meadow colours are guaranteed to relax you. The art print PARADIS VERT (€49.94) invites you to unwind with its female silhouette drawn on white and delicate sage-green vintage paper.

Love,
She's solid as a rock, always ready to comfort and gives the best tender hugs. Mother's Day is on the 8th of May and we all agree: Mum deserves only the best! The challenge is to honour those special mother-child moments with loving gift ideas that bring a magic lasting joy. Instead of fresh flowers for a vase, you could consider an individual floral art print for a wall or an aesthetic postcard with a heartfelt handwritten message.
With artworks from my online shop www.tinystories.nl you can say, "Thank you Mum!" from your heart in a very personal way, showing your appreciation for the many big and small things you usually take for granted.
Sent with love
In the dreamy silhouette, PURITY (from €7.95), femininity and inner contemplation merge into an expressive moment of self-reflection. The mini art print can be placed into an A4 frame to decorate her wall, or you can use it as a greeting card and write her a message from your heart.
Say it with flowers
A mother's love reaches to the moon and back. So how about commemorating her special day with MOON FLOWERS (from €59.95). This eternal flower greeting promises to delight the best mum in world.
Helping together

]]>The bedroom is a retreat where we want to find peace and relaxation. It's not only a good bed that makes for a restful sleep; our choice of colours in the room also plays an important role. Do you want to bring a breath of fresh air into your bedroom and add a few improvements at the same time?
With a bit of creativity and dexterity, you can redesign your bedroom in no time and ensure increased quality of life and sleep. I've put together three ideas for the perfect bedroom remodelling:
Soft yellow, orange and red tones can bring a boost of freshness into your bedroom. These colours evoke sun rays and floral pleasure and bathe the room in warmth and cosiness. Whether it's a new coat of paint on the walls, colourful decorative highlights arranged on the bedside table or selected works of monochrome art on the floor and walls – the sleeping quarters can become an oasis of well-being.
Relaxation, switching off and getting up — the bedroom should accommodate your various requirements and be a room with its own character. The walls could be unplastered; or they might contain a colourfully and thematically coordinated picture gallery or a single large wall hanging as a central focus. Nevertheless, your wall design should reflect your own personality and not vice versa.
Delicate pastel shades bring lightness and ensure peace and harmony. So what could be better than combining pastel colours with natural textiles when choosing bed linen and decorative pillows and creating a comfortable snuggle retreat. These elements allow the bedroom to become a dream room.

It's finally here! Delicate rays of sunlight gently draw us outdoors where spring greets us pleasantly. So, it's about time to invite her in and prepare your home for the new season. You don't have to change all your furnishing, just apply a few decorative tricks here and there. Botanical accents and bright green and pastel tones can give your four walls that fresh spring glow.
Waiting for you in my online shop, is a world full of pictures, illustrations and collages, poetic artworks in delicate colours and floral motifs, large-format wall hangings and postcards that all create a spring atmosphere. You can also choose to buy any artwork framed in a high-quality wooden frame. Some prints are available in limited editions, hand-numbered and signed.
I've put together the highlights of my artwork as well as three styling ideas for this beautiful season:
Lasting floral joyA picture that provides lasting floral delight. The floral art print, “WILD FLOWERS” (€74.95), is a beautiful quality reproduction. The original is painted on vintage paper with natural pigments from the Balearic Islands. Click here for the art print.
Magical spring feelingsThe art card, "YOU ARE MAGICAL" (€7.95), conjures up a spring-like flair in a delicate shade of lilac. To decorate your wall, you can add a frame to the artistically immortalised flower, or you could use it as a greeting card to convey a spring message. Click here for the art print.
It's turning so greenThe two-colour art print, "VERTE" (€49.95 ), is available in a 30 x 40 cm size. The expressive bottle green of the depicted plant will form a botanical highlight in your home gallery. The original artwork was painted with a Japanese brush on sun-bleached linen. Click here for the art print.
Delicate pastel shades skilfully underline the warmer season, providing lightness and setting a good mood. Pink, lilac, light blue and a soft green in the form of decorations and textiles such as tablecloths or pillows allow a spring breeze through your apartment. On the Easter table, water in glass vases, naturally coloured by food, creates an exciting contrast with the selected flowers.
This year, the picture wall and Easter table could shine in fresh shades of green and botanical highlights for a change. Delicate green candles in simple moss cuttings, large monstera leaves as coasters and DIY napkins, printed with a leaf motif, all serve as table decorations. And you can round of this local plant delight with your new favourite – a botanical artwork on the dining room wall.
Easter decoration without flowers? Unthinkable. Fresh daffodils, tulips and hyacinths on a festively set table conjure up a colourful palette and belong to Spring just as much as the chocolate bunny belongs in the easter nest. Whether on the table, the windowsill or as a sustainable work of art with a floral motif on the wall – we're passionate about our floral feasts for the eye.

Love,
Living out my own creativity is very important to me. We all know a picture says more than a thousand words, and with art we reveal a part of our identity. Selected works of art can give your apartment a distinctly personal touch and create a safe atmosphere in a room. Gallery walls provide a wonderful opportunity to turn bare walls into a visual sensory experience and transform a mere room into a home.
You can set different thematic or aesthetic priorities, depending on where you choose to hang an artwork and the choice of the motif. While a hallway or living room are ideally suited to present large solo art moments with exciting works or a colourful mix of pictures, more personal works in softer tones find a more private space in a bedroom or children's room. Whether you have several square metres available or only a small wall – there's a harmonious design option for every size.
I would like to introduce you to three different gallery wall ideas:
This gallery wall variant proves to be expressive even with little space, and puts into the foreground either a single work of art — a soloist — or a pair of pictures. Their concentrated effect allows the selected images to strongly influence the spatial effect in terms of colour and style. In a picture duo, the two selected works could coordinate based on the image theme, selected frames, colour nuances or size, and together they radiate a harmonious overall effect. Traditionally, one would hang them next to each other, but as a striking alternative, you could arrange the duo as one below the other or even staggered.
This gallery wall option merges different image sizes into a combined work of art. Wall collages can show a mix of different frames and formats and are characterized by connecting elements. A similar style or recurring colour shades add peace to the supposed chaos of the images. Before hanging them, it helps to place the pictures on the floor in their desired positions until a coherent overall picture is created. You can also mark out the corner points of the pictures on the wall with masking tape. Reference lines, such as window or door frames, or geometric shapes that inspire the arrangement can all indicate the alignment. In order to give every work of art its breathing space and effect, you should allow a sufficient distance of about 3 – 10 cm between individual pictures. In this blog post are a few examples and design options for your picture hanging.
Of course, you don't always have to keep to the classic hanging option. Picture frames are ideally suited for casually leaning. You could lean your artworks against a wall, placing them — side by side or overlapping — on a ledge, on the floor or even on a piece of furniture. A free arrangement of several pictures on a ledge has an added advantage: it enables you to easily exchange or recombine your artworks. This allows your interior design to remain full of life, and open to additions and new favourites. Handcrafted in Germany, the tinystories frames are made of 12 mm solid wood and 2 mm float glass. The high-quality wooden frames are available in linden wood, oak, black and white colour options. The available sizes are: A4, 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm and 50 x 70 cm).
Give your favourite artworks the right settings and enjoy your very own local gallery! You can find more furnishing and decor inspiration in my online shop, on Instagram and Pinterest.
