Where Art Meets Everdya Living - Beautiful & Practical Homewares by Kirsten katz

Art That Works – Beautiful & Practical

When people think of art, they often picture a framed painting hanging on a wall — admired, perhaps, but untouched. But I’ve always believed that art can be more than something to look at. It can be something you live with, interact with, and enjoy in your everyday routines. In my work, I’ve made it my mission to bring beauty into the practical corners of life — turning original paintings into functional pieces that are used and loved daily.

From Sketchbook to Everyday Life

Every piece I design begins as a hand-painted artwork — inspired by native flora, tropical flowers, and the beauty of the natural world around me. These painted pieces are then transformed into functional items:

  • Tea towels
  • Coaster sets
  • Wooden bookmarks
  • Greeting cards
  • Notebooks
  • Accessories like brooches, scarves, and earrings

They're not just pretty — they’re made to be used, loved, and enjoyed every day.

Why I Design Art That Works

There’s something deeply satisfying about reaching for a tea towel that’s not only functional but beautiful — a small piece of art in your hand. Or sending a greeting card that was once a painting in my studio.

I believe that everyday objects deserve to be as thoughtful and meaningful as the art on our walls. That beauty should be part of our routines, not reserved for special occasions.

Intentional Design, Rooted in Art

Each product is made with care and intention — combining form and function. It’s why I choose sustainable materials, small-batch production, and ethical manufacturing wherever possible.

It’s art with a purpose. And it's designed to bring joy to the simple moments — like drying dishes, wrapping a gift, or slipping a bookmark between the pages of a good read.

Final Thoughts: Living with Art, Daily

Art doesn’t have to be distant or purely decorative. It can be in the things you use every day — bringing moments of beauty and colour into your home and your hands. Whether it’s a tea towel, a card, or a gift, I want my work to feel meaningful and useful. Because beauty belongs in your everyday life.
