Behind The Canvas

Create a space that feels as good as it looks. Our homes are more than just places we live - they’re spaces that hold our stories, reflect our emotions, and shape how we feel day to day. At Jacqueline Rooney Art, we believe colour is one of the most powerful tools you can use to influence the energy of a space. Whether you're looking to bring more joy into your home, find a moment of calm, or simply make your surroundings feel more like you, colour can help you get there - beautifully and meaningfully. In this post, we’ll explore how you can bring positive energy into your home with colour, using art, texture, and personal touches. 1. Start with Emotion, Not Trends When choosing artwork or accents for your home, ask yourself:How do I want this space to feel?Do you want your hallway to feel uplifting as you come through the door? Or your bedroom to feel like a calm retreat at the end of the day? Colour should connect to your emotions and personal story. Warm pinks, bold corals, or golden yellows can spark joy and creativity. Soothing tones like teal, blue, and lavender can evoke calm and clarity. There's no wrong answer — only what resonates with you. “Each piece I create is infused with colour, light, and emotion,” says Jacqueline.“My hope is always the same - that it finds a home where it lifts the space and the spirit inside it.” 2. Choose Art That Reflects Your Story Art is one of the most impactful ways to bring energy and emotion into your home. Whether it’s a statement canvas or a small framed print in your reading nook, the artwork you choose should reflect who you are and what you love. In Jacqueline’s collections, every piece is rooted in personal meaning - inspired by light, nature, resilience, and moments of hope. When that meaning connects with someone else, it becomes part of their story too. Looking for inspiration? Framed Mini Prints are perfect for gifting or placing on a bedside table or desk. Midi and Medium Contemporary Prints create beautiful focal points in kitchens, hallways, or entryways. Original Paintings and Hand-Embellished Canvases bring a bold sense of energy and craftsmanship into living spaces. 3. Don’t Underestimate the Details Sometimes the smallest details can completely transform the energy of a room. A velvet cushion in a rich jewel tone. A candle in a scent that brings back memories.  These finishing touches bring not just personality to your space - but positivity too.
