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.

‘ HenPower? Ageing? What on earth has that got to do with art or interiors?!’, I hear you shout. Well… more than you might think so bear with me while I introduce you to an amazing idea. When we set up Curious Egg, we wanted to connect three distinct elements

With London Craft Week just behind us and craft fairs coming into full bloom, ‘handcrafted’ is a bit of a hot topic at the moment as are ‘ new technologies’ – a slightly odd couple to be sharing the creative industry headlines.While I was musing over this, I saw an eye-catching
I have always felt bigger than I really am. Ok at 5ft 1″ I knew wasn’t tall but it has literally taken years for it to occur to me I could actually be seen as a ‘small person’. That’s the funny thing about scale, its all about perception and illusions (…no, not
This year for my birthday, I got a beautiful book, ‘The Cabaret of Plants – Botany and the Imagination’ by Richard Mabey – how great a title is that? Now it has to be said that I do actually judge a book by its cover which is why I’ve never converted to ebooks
Winter has not left the building! Despite what you read in magazines or hear on TV- the snowdrops may well be poking through the ground but they resemble little groups of sullen teenagers that have been dragged out of bed too early – the birds may be tweeting but don’t be
February is an indulgent month in our family, my sister’s birthday is the day before mine (Ha! work that one out : ) and preceding both of those is Valentine’s day which makes it one potentially frantic period of forward planning in the weeks before for the ‘boys’ in our life
I’m kicking off with an interior trends hotlist for the year ahead. After a bit of a break from the blog to launch the our new online store, it feels good to get back to writing and my New Year resolution is to write shorter (you’ll be glad to hear) and
