From Concept to Creation

The creative process of your commissioned art pieces from New City Design.

When Cheryl K. of St. Louis, Missouri contacted New City Design about some design pointers in her historic shotgun style apartment, we had the opportunity to create a custom art piece for her Moroccan themed living room. The room featured some great architectural details and bold, lively colors. We wanted to add to that. Taking into consideration Cheryl's ideas and concepts, we were able to come up with three possible ideas, which were then presented to Cheryl.

Cheryl asked for more information about two of the three options, and New City Design presented her with sketches of each piece.

The first of these two pieces was the concept of a Moroccan inspired candle lit mirror, hand painted or etched with a Moroccan motif.


The second concept was a custom painting that was taken from actual Moroccan tile patterns.



Cheryl chose the paintings after discussing the two options with New City Design Consultant, Jessica Sanford. With a little feedback from Cheryl and some careful painting skills from New City Design, Cheryl now has a completely custom, one of a kind art piece for her beautiful living room.
