The origins of face line art
Line art is a technique consisting of drawing a pattern, figurative or not, with a single line. It can be done with a brush, marker, pencil, or even charcoal. This feature gives it both great simplicity and a nice dynamism.
The line art technique is not new. It was particularly prized by artists such as Matisse and Picasso. However, it’s only been a few seasons that line art has been invited into our interiors, and it is now almost essential. And if it makes it possible to create a flower as well as a landscape or a non-figurative drawing, it is indeed face line art that wins all the votes.
Face line art is therefore the representation of a face in a brushstroke. Designers have, however, seized on it to create interesting variants in wire or even wood.
In which room to adopt face line art?
Face line art is available on an infinite number of supports: textiles, paper, ceramics… It can therefore find its place in almost any room in the house.
Resolutely arty without being extravagant, face line art immediately brings a touch of refinement to the decor. Especially since if it is exhibited in large (or even very large!) format, it also knows how to be discreet. We do not hesitate to adopt it in very small spaces, such as the entrance. We then fall for a relatively compact decoration, such as the wired statue, which we simply place on the console.
Decidedly very effective whenever there is a shortage of space, face line art is well found to sublimate the reading corner. Adopt the cushion? Too easy ! We prefer to crack for the wired decoration to hang!
The wall of frames remains a safe bet in terms of wall decoration, in particular when it comes to highlighting a low piece of furniture – in particular the sideboard or the row in the dining room. It’s now or never to adopt face line art, which will perfectly punctuate your composition.
Delicate and elegant, face line art is a very nice choice of decoration to enhance the bedroom. It works especially well in the minimalist bedroom.
From rugs to wall decoration, face line art is hot in the living room. Not only is this pattern elegant, but it offers a nice balance between serenity and dynamism: a perfect mix for a room in which we enjoy having fun as much as chilling.
With its graceful design, we can easily imagine the face line art in the bedroom or in the living room. If it is more unexpected in the kitchen, it is enough to give a refined character to the whole room.
Face line art: minimalist… but not only!
Since it made its big comeback in decoration, face line art is mainly associated with minimalist interiors. This beautifully simple pattern turns out to be much more versatile than you might think!
Plant fibers and macramé: the face line art goes perfectly with the iconic decorative elements of the bohemian interior.
We love face line art in a Zen or Japandi-inspired interior. This type of minimalist decor allows it to take center stage and attract all eyes. And if you fell for the wallpaper?
The New Antic decoration is one of the essential trends of the year. Among the essentials to shop: the mineral lamp base, which we gladly accessorize with an ecru or raffia lampshade… unless you adopt face line art!
Face Line Art: the pieces to shop
Haven’t adopted face line art at home yet? It’s time to fix it!
Ceramic is unquestionably the big star of the year in terms of decoration. Vase or planter: we hasten to adopt a model displaying an elegant face line art!
Carpet or cushion cover: textiles adorned with a face line art motif are among the essentials to shop to adopt the trend.
Among the DIY trends of the moment: embroidery. And the good news is that this is an activity that is within everyone’s reach, including beginners: all you need is a kit to make your own face line art.
If you’re not afraid to take your DIY to the next level, you can customize a few pieces of your table service in a face line art version. If you don’t make this piece yourself, you can find very nice handcrafted models.
To think a little off the beaten track, forget the face line art frame in the bedroom, and fall for the bed linen instead!
