How I Use Latinx Art to Transform My Bathroom, Entryway, and Bedroom | Meaningful Home Decor Ideas

Here’s How I Use My Art at Home

When I create art, it is not just for customers or galleries. I create pieces for myself, for my own home, for the spaces where I live and move every day. My art is part of how I shape my surroundings and tell my own story.

I made a piece specifically for my bathroom, knowing I wanted something that brought warmth and calm into a small, practical space. With soft tones and a figure seen from behind, it creates a moment of quiet and reflection every time I walk in.

For the entryway, I wanted color and energy. I designed a set of framed works showing community scenes, landscapes, and moments from Latinx life. This is the first thing I and anyone else see when we come into the house. It immediately sets the tone and makes the space feel alive, full of meaning and connection.

In my bedroom, I chose pieces with softer backgrounds and traditional details, like braids, embroidered clothing, or flowers. These remind me of where I come from and who I am, creating a sense of peace and belonging in the place where I begin and end each day.

This art is not about matching colors or filling blank walls. It is about placing something meaningful into your daily spaces. Whether you are looking for a new idea for your bathroom, want to brighten up your entryway, or need something personal in your bedroom, I invite you to explore the pieces I have created.

My goal is simple: to help you tell your story through art, just as I tell mine.
