Collages

Creating collages

  • Extend your creativity

    Collages are great for extending creativity as well as bringing a sense of intention to interior styling. You can also have fun with collages by moving them around and having various overall shapes for them.

  • Plan your collages

    Create collages of our artwork and express your own abstraction of the layered experience of cities or geometry in cities. Select each collage from a group or several groups, and arrange them in rows, diagonal, grids, columns or irregular shapes (hover on the images)

  • Use our art flexibility

    Use our rotatable geometrics or some of our urban abstracts to create interesting collage variations that can also be moved around within the collage. Multitudes of options (check out some options below)

  • Rules of thumb

    To avoid crowded collages, have gaps between pieces of at least 2 - 4" (5 - 10 cm). Use ordering boundaries or geometric shapes to create your collages (see illustration below)

This is a really helpful and practical guidance for interior styling with art. The geometric abstracts have so much scope with the rotatable element in them. It means that decor can actually be a living, flexible decor!
