The Art First Interiors Blog

Inspiring stories, ideas and tips to help you bring art to your interiors 

Welcome to the Art First Interiors Blog.  I’m Lorraine Aaron – a professional artist and interior designer with a background in sculpture, painting, public and gallery art.

I’m obsessed about how we can use art as the basis for incredible interior design.  Here on the blog I talk to like minded creative souls and interior style warriors about the things that inspire them, their relationship with art and how it informs their creative process – and look through the keyhole at the amazing interior spaces they create.
