Whether you are tiling a new bathroom, using natural woods to create unique statements or hanging a disco ball in your kitchen, bold design choices will truly make a home your own. Get inspiration from these designers, then take a chance and test out a bold new design of your own.
Tile is a great medium for taking creativity to a whole new level. I love this whimsical application of freeform tile. It gives life and originality to a classic rectangular shower.

Maybe your bold choice is simply a material that is unconventional, striking or just plain weird! I love the look of this gorgeous wall treatment that contrasts the smooth sleekness of the cabinetry.

| Recycled wood and pallet pieces are everywhere these days, but I love how this homeowner chose to leave the wood different heights. What a bold move! |

Instead of reclaiming milled wood, how about taking a chunk right out of a tree and laying it on its side as a rustic mantle. This live-edge look is both bold and a calm, natural choice of materials.

Maybe your way of living boldly is to buck tradition and paint authentic wood floors. Simple white animal silhouettes pop against these strongly colored backgrounds.

| Art is a good way to step into a more bold design. A great custom piece like this lets you exercise your creativity, but you can easily move it to a new spot, or put it away for awhile. |

Art doesn't have to be two-dimensional. Go graphic and bold with milk crates to create a whole living space that is quite literally out of the box.
Make a bold choice to celebrate your children's artwork and give it a place of prominence.

Another bold choice is to take a single item and through repetition make a statement across an entire wall. These colored bottles are simple and muted, but the bold design choice speaks volumes about the designer.

Sick of the traditional? The circular fans on this ceiling fan are a nice change of pace from the typical look.

Go ahead, paint your windowpanes. Paint them red! If that weren't enough, buck the rule that says green and red are only for Christmas and upholster your seating in kelly green.

| If you really want to live boldly, do something unexpected. Give your style and spaces a boost by offering a glimpse of the whimisical and wild part of your personality. Hang a light fixture that resembles a disco ball in your kitchen. Better yet, hang a real disco ball in your kitchen! |

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel Many fun ideas here. I have several clients who are not shy. In fact, the ones who loves metallics, I often have to restrain. Here are a couple of wild bedrooms and a dining room.

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel Another bold statement by a client who collects crosses from many countries. We did pale but gigantic celtic crosses in the entry.

Fine Art & Portraits by Laurel If you have high ceilings with large upper walls, you can fill them with related paintings on the one side, and two huge, but transparent, trompe l'oeil leaves.
