Artwork can be extremely expensive and these days buying it can be a fringe expense. Typographic themed products are an excellent way to add some brightness to a neutral room, especially if you are limited by what you can change about a room, like the flooring or the wall color.

DP has some great examples of how typography can produce some POP! in your home. If the majority of your color scheme is neutral, your freedom to choose an accent piece is almost limitless. Strewn across muted bedding or casually thrown on a monochromatic sofa – your eye will be drawn to the bright break in color.

When all you need is love, a simple word can be statement enough. Here is a Columbia Forest Alexander Girard PLYprint. What could be bolder than this?

For some interesting and conversation inducing wall artwork, Keep Calm Gallery, located in London has a wide selection of creative prints. All are printed on recycled paper.

Another company I love has some great silkscreened prints…here are a couple printed on acid free paper. Village is “type co-op” founded in Brooklyn. The union of eleven young type foundries created the great products below.
