Some of us love the blues and greens. Others are drawn to the warmth of chocolates and grays. What’s great is that we’re all different, and pop art allows us to express ourselves in the the comfort and familiarity of our own homes. Whatever colors you love, why not incorporate them into your living environment?

How to Decorate With Your Favorite Colors:  

Black: You like elegance and you’re drawn to power. You can be dramatic or understated. Use black in your home to make a statement. Many furniture items now come in black, such as coffee tables, entertainment centers, and small cabinets. Go green and recycle an old piece of furniture–spray paint or lacquer an existing piece black.

Green: You’re known for your hope and sincerety. Your charitable nature makes you care about the environment, and about others. The great thing about green is that it’s the easiest color to incorporte into your living space. Place fresh cuttings around your home–from a tree in bloom, some ferns, or wildflowers to bring nature inside. Green goes with so many colors–pink, white, black, and brown are usual–and fresh combinations.

Orange: You’re a party looking for a place to happen. People would describe you as warm, friendly, and outgoing. You want to be noticed, so be sure to make a bold statement with your orange decor. Have fun with orange–paint your kitchen tangerine, or buy some orange throw pillows for your bed. Orange comes in a range of hues, so don’t forget that you can use everything from orange sherbert to burnt sienna. Orange pairs with everything from white to black, to brown, to robin’s egg blue.

Now that you’ve chosen your color, it’s time to have some fun. Look through the pop art gallery and choose a style that right for you. Pop art gives you so many choices–from a four, six, or eight color panel in the Andy Warhol style, a fun photograph of your pet, or a beautiful limited edition print–your favorite colors combined with personalized pop art will give you a stunning room you’re proud of.

 ”What’s your favorite color?”

I bet you’ve been asked that–and most people do have a favorite color. You might enjoy wearing that color, or decorating your home with it. Have you ever thought about what your favorite color says about you? PopArt.com gives you a chance to express who you are–and surround yourself with the colors you love.

Want to know what the experts say about your favorite color?

Red: Red is the color of passion, and people who are crazy about the color red are energetic and enjoy a busy lifestyle. You may be intense and strong, but red has to practice temperance. Decorate your home with splashes of red–or go all out and paint your walls red, but highlight it with white trim or another bold color that makes the red stand out. 

White: White is clean, and as a person drawn to white, you may be spiritually in tune with your environment and value serenity. You may prefer to “go green,” and keep your home surrounding pure and organic. Most likely, you dislike clutter and appreciate clean lines and organization. Highlight your white room with one other color–perhaps green to bring in nature with a palm tree or orchids. Or maybe you want to go bold and use black pillows on a white couch.

Purple: Known as the royal color, purple lovers are mysterious, appreciate wisdom, and a tad sentimental. Decorating with purple gives you a wide range–from eggplant to lavender–use purple prudently since this royal color can put some people off.

Yellow: Yellow is the color and sunshine and daffodils. It embodies hope and optimism, and people who love the color yellow are confident, creative, and crisp, just like the color. But beware–yellow is one of those home colors you either love, or avoid. So make sure that your yellow rooms are soothing, not rattling to the nerves.

These are just a few colors in the pallette, and there’s a pop art design that accentuates any color. Why not pick a room and feature the color you love?

   

Are you planning a birthday or anniversary party? Why not cusomize your cards with your very own photographs–and pop art deisgn? Pop art cards will definately get your guests attention, and are mini-gifts in and of themselves.

Simply download one of your favorite photographs and choose your pop art design. Are you planning a child’s birthday party? Then go with the six frame pop art design, and you’ve got lots of bright, fun colors to incorporate into your birthday party theme. You could do a sixties theme, tie-dye t-shirts, and headbands will make a groovy impresssion.

Are you planning an anniversary party? Then go vintage–those sepia tones will create an old-world feel that set the stage for a display of photographs marking each year of marriage. You could do a video presentation, or download all their favorite tunes and burn them on a CD for all the guests to take home. Your viintage cards can be your inspiration.

Or go classic with art strokes, which creates a watercolor/impressionistic feel that will make any photograph rich and textured. Art strokes cards are so nice that some people pop them in a frame and display it in their home.

Be sure to order extra cards because you can use them for years to come and they’ll always remind you of that special time.

If you’ve flipped through any of the major home magazines lately, you can’t help but notice the fresh citron colors that are showing up in everything from pillows to walls to outdoor accessories. Nothing could liven your home more than shades of lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine and grass green–and nothing goes better with these vibrant colors than pop art.

So open your windows, pull back those shades and take a good look around your home. How can a splash of citron make one of your rooms come alive?

You can paint most rooms for less than one hundred dollars–so that’s an expensive way to go. Is your dining room begging for a lemon yellow? How about a great lime for the kitchen?

Go even easier and get a few yards of material and cover your existing throw pillows. Strive to use a color three to five times throughout a room (except for paint, which pretty much takes care of it). The human eye appreciates symmetry and aliteration–so create balance in a room by repeating the same, or close to the same shade of citron with easy accessories such as a house plant, an existing vase spray painted in a citron shade–or even a bowl of green apples.

Five years after your wedding and the photo albumn will most likely be put away. You may have one picture of that special day that you leave out on your dresser or night stand. But if you turn one of your photos into pop art, I guarantee you’ll keep that picture out and enjoy it for years to come.

Take your time to find that perfect picture. Which photograph captures the mood of the day perfectly? Are you laughing? Kissing? Is someone shedding a tear? Remember, with photo programs you can zoom up and zero in on just the two of you–so don’t dismiss a “busy” picture when you can make it more intimate.

After you choose that perfect photo, then upload it to MyPopArt.com and visit the gallery to choose your style–what highlights suits you, your home, and the photograph.

Perhaps you’d like a photo to canvas portrait that mimics watercolors, or vintage, which will put a spin on your special day. You can use those great sepia tones to create a warm glow and old world charm–and even display your wedding picture next to your parent’s or grandparent’s picture.

Or maybe you and your spouse would like a more modern Andy Warhol look with a four, six, or eight series of color pop art style. It’s a great centerpiece over a mantel or even place it over your bed for an impressive look.

As you begin to look for a photographer for that special day, keep pop art in mind–and start planning for that perfect photograph.

My mother-in-law’s Shitzu, Kirby died a few weeks ago. She wouldn’t actually admit it was her dog–it was originally her daughter’s, but when her daughter moved out of state, Kirby became Mom’s dog. Kirby adored her, and when he died suddenly–they didn’t know he had a heart condition–Mom and Pops were devastated. That got me thinking, and just the other day I asked Pops to send me a picture of Kirby because I’ve got a surprise in mind. Pop art is a great way to remember your beloved pet.

Those of us who are pet lovers know the grief that comes with losing a pet. You feel so lost, and your home feels so empty those first days, weeks, and months they’re gone. Sometimes well meaning friends say, “Why don’t you get a puppy?” And maybe you will, but you don’t simply replace one pet with another. Each are unique and add to the quality of your life in their own way.

Maybe your pet was rowdy, a real trouble maker who always made you laugh. You might want to go with a four color pop art style that’s bright and cheery.

Perhaps your pup was a quiet, sweet-natured buddy that everywhere with you–then a vintage portrait might be perfect–with hand tinted pastels or the warmth of sepia tones to feature your pet’s great personality.

Or you may want to go with art strokes where the artists at MyPopArt.com takes the photograph of your pet and stylizes it with brushstrokes and a color enhanced background you choose that will enhance your art. Check out all of these at the Pet Portrait Gallery page here.  

Pop art makes a great gift for someone who has lost their pet recently. And let’s don’t leave out the cat lovers–I’ve got a kitty myself! And you bird families–can you imagine how great a pop art four color series of an African Gray bird would be? Stunning.

Remembering your pet with pop art can brighten your home–and your heart.

Color is a powerful thing. And the stronger the color the more judicious you should be using it. My Pop Art creates that great anchor piece you can build a room around. First, choose a photograph to turn into pop art. Nothing can make a room more fun than a pet portrait from Popart.com. 

Pet portraits come in the great pop art design with four, six, and eight panels of your pet in fun colors. These portraits are gallery stretched on canvas–and no frame is needed for that modern look.

Or, you can choose to go vintage and enjoy a pet portrait with sepia tones and pastel tints for a softer look, allowing your pet to be “center stage” in full color contrast.

Your other option is art strokes–where an artist will enhance your pet portrait with color and texture creating an impressionistic feel.

How to Make a Room Pop:

• Upload your photogrph and choose from the PopArt.com choices.
• Choose the perfect location for your pop art photograph.
• Start with your wall color. Do you want to change it or can you work around it?
• Paint only one wall and choose a vibrant color that ties your room to your popart.
• Consider using a specialty paint, such as textured paint, a stencil, chalk paint, or paint that feels like suede.
• You may want to pull a color from your pop art and use it around the room.
• If you want to buy a piece of furniture, check out your local home consignment–you can find a great chair or love seat at a fraction of the cost–and you can trade in a piece!
• Make your room pop with vases, throw pillows, throw rugs, and knick-knacks.
• Check out your local antique shops  and other mom-and-pop, small businesses that support your local community.
• Look for other “pet” objects–bookends, door stops, and gifty items which will pull in that great pet feel.

Pop art can brighten your home and a pet portrait lightens the mood. You can give your room a mini-face lift by adding just a few key, inexpensive pieces that will highlight your pet portrait. Check out the great pet portraits PopArt.com has to offer here.
