Every design studio needs a designated space for a very, very important supply: Inspiration. A very fun and easy to refresh way of displaying things that inspire you is to create an "Inspiration Wire." This does not have to be an intense DIY extreme makeover project. In my home studio, I created my "wire" by using a few screws and natural twine. To hang my collected materials I used drapery clips, and clothes pins.
If you are wondering what to hang, begin with magazines or catalogs that you subscribe to. There is a reason you were attracted to these publications and you may want to highlight or remember the most interesting things in them. Maybe you liked a wallpaper pattern in a home decor magazine, or a color scheme of cashmere sweaters in a fashion catalog. Another great item to add to your wall of inspiration is a collection of paint chips. You can usually find them for free at your local hardware store or at a place that sells interior/exterior paints. One last suggestion: vintage linens, such as the bird napkins in my studio, can add texture among paper goodies.
Happy hanging!! If you have any other inspiration materials to share, please feel free. :-)
