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.
Relaxed, fun chats about art and creativity with people we find interesting and inspiring.
Peeking through the keyhole of the art first interiors we love and uncovering the ideas and stories of the people who create them.
Journeys into the minds of artists, designers, creators and makers in search of fresh ideas and inspiration!
Quirky, unusual and unexpected stories and experiences that give pause for thought and open up new perspectives.
Creative ideas, hacks and tips to help inspire your interior design process.

If you’ve ever read ‘The Life of Pi ‘ you’ll know that a good story requires certain ingredients – a great opening line, an intriguing lead character, a twist in the plot and for me, a touch of fantasy mixed in. I loved that book for so many reasons although
Running through the veins of the most creative entrepreneurs, I think, is a mantra that goes like this, ’ in times of uncertainty, innovate and diversify’ and in the first of my new ‘Creative Minds’ posts, I’ve chosen a special place created by a innovative farming family who have done just that.
