Featuring Art from a Naber Designs home

Hey everyone! Nicole from En Shell back again.

Get ready to save some sources and add to your Pinterest boards. This post is goodie! When Abbie texted me asking me what my thoughts were on doing a blog post about artists she has in her home, my immediate response was YES let’s do it…give the people what they want! Seriously though, I know we all have been soaking up every photo of her latest home addition, am I right? 

Abbie is known for her artistically-forward interiors that feel layered, lived-in, and comfortable while still having that California-cool factor. Her designs are known for feeling effortless, relaxed, approachable, and fresh. A crucial element in every room is art, and it is easy to spot an a Naber designed space due to the art-focused walls, airy and warm color palette, and the light and bright feel. Abbie is one of those designers we all follow not only for her stunning designs but also because she is always in the know of the coolest artists, makers, and creators. Not only that, she is always spreading the love and sharing the knowledge on social media so that we can all step up our interior game, too. 

So without further ado, take a scroll below, and checkout a room-to-room tour of Abbie’s personal art collection. Enjoy!

SPOTLIGHT ON: ELECTRIC BLUE

Nicole from En Shell back at it again!


Here at a Naber Design, we are not ones to shy away from color. Abbie’s signature look starts with a clean, neutral base, then layers of personality are added through the use of art, bold shapes, and yep, color. One color that is always a tried-and-true favorite due to its ability to add the right amount of zing and exuberance into a space is electric blue. We are talking about the vibrant shades of cobalt, ultramarine, lapis, and indigo.

Throughout creative bursts in history, bold shades of blue have been known to encourage inventiveness, steer individuals away from the habitual, and carve new paths of freedom and optimism. There’s a reason it has been a favorite of artists, architects, and designers throughout the ages, like Picasso, Matisse, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Jacques Majorelle. For anyone who has witnessed or seen a photograph of Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, I think you can attest to the stunning power and sheer brilliance this particular hue of blue instills. It’s transfixing, striking, and confident yet still feels playful, fresh, and happy. 

After two whole years of being cooped up at home and feeling the restless effects that came along the way, it is no coincidence that designers and artists alike are reaching for energetic blues that represent hope, innovation, and creativity. We are in a time where we all are quite literally seeking a breath of fresh air, so the usage of anything deep and vibrant feels liberating and renewing, to say the least.

This particular lively color feels like a refreshing pop of contrast against any backdrop, and it provides the right amount of joyful zest into any space. Communicating through color is our jam, and we are all game to create a buzz and add some show-stopping edge to our designs through the use of blue.

Check out our round-up of all things electric blue, and try adding a little zingy goodness into your home today!

TRENDING: PLASTER

Trending: Plaster

Hi Everyone,

Nicole (En Shell) here!

Well, we all know we are big fans of anything with great texture over here. Even better, we are big fans of textures that feel subtle, natural, and organic. One material that is currently trending and checks all these boxes is plaster. Based on the application, plaster can add depth and dimension but can also feel smooth and effortless. Plaster is not just for walls, either. We are seeing it used in a variety of ways inside the home, for example, fluted kitchen islands, fireplace fabrication, range hoods, and shower walls, to name a few. On a less permanent and more approachable side, plaster is now trickling its way into furniture, lighting, wall art, and décor, too. These smaller and more interchangeable pieces are a great option if you do not want to commit to a full wall treatment but still want a material mix with that same effect. Plaster's soft and clean appearance and earthy grain quality make it quite versatile, allowing it to work for home aesthetics of all types: modern, minimal, relaxed, or refined.

Yep, you better believe Abbie has dabbled into the plaster lighting, furniture, and art game a time or two. We’ve got photographic evidence to prove it. (A big shout out to Oken House Studios, a forever a. Naber Design favorite!)

We did some shopping around and gathered a few plaster furniture and décor pieces that are timeless and clean but still feel stylish with a modern edge. The holidays are approaching quickly, so now is the perfect time to pass a few of these ideas along to receive some of these beauties under your tree… just saying!
