Are you feeling like you’re stuck in a rut in your own house? It may be time to make a change. Luckily, you don’t have to rearrange the furniture or to something drastic to beat the blahs. The answer could be as simple as changing up the art on your walls!
Square shaped art is so easy to decorate with, you’ll be asking yourself, “now why didn’t I do this sooner?” Well, that’s a good question. If you pick one of these gorgeous pieces below, you’ll get it done even sooner.
This little dramatic square is remarkably packed with vibrant energy. You might even call it a sense of balanced chaos. Kinetic brush strokes in the sky indicate a storm brewing over the horizon. But just like real dynamic ocean atmospheres, these storms often leave as quickly as they arrive. Place it on a floating shelf or desk to create a convenient eye catching pop of color in the room.
Looking for a quick focal point that’s not too overwhelming in a bedroom, study or bathroom? Soft pastel tones do the trick. Hang it in the center of an off-white wall for an even softer look, or pair it with other pastel-toned paintings for cozy points of interest. The satin nickel frame introduces a cool-toned layer for a well-grounded sense of tranquility.
It’s not every day you get to see a square painting graced with deep lilac hues, but this one is a winner in our book. It’s not only square, it's round too! Pair purple hues together with deep indigos and sky blues, tans, yellows, and even happy orange for an easy way to dramatically uplift the mood in your room.
This delightful old Nags Head beachside view is a fabulous combination of local Outer Banks decor and classic retro chic. Its cheerful warm toned frame and bright sunny colors are perfect for kitchen and gathering areas, and its almost perfect square foot size makes interior decorating on a wall a breeze for even the first timer.
Last but not least, this border-within-a-bordered painting forever captures the fleeting beauty of a stunning North Carolina soundside sunset. Its neutral frame, natural textures, and highly variable color palette make it a prime choice for giving that finishing touch to a wide variety of room decor.

Brimming with mystery, adventure, and sometimes treasure, the lure of the ocean has drawn countless people since the dawn of time. That draw seems to be especially strong in the Outer Banks, a land filled with pirates, rescuers, wild creatures and epic history.
Let’s make the most of summer! Art celebrates nature as each artist shares their creativity and a love for the Outer Banks.
If you've ever turned over a piece of jewelry and noticed a tiny stamp reading 925, you may have wondered what it means. Is it real silver? Is it valuable? And what's the difference between sterling, coin silver, and pure silver?
