Your love affair with your living room has hit a bump in the road (please put that crusty shag carpet out of its misery, already).

Before you call it quits, try adding a little spark.

Artist Hillary Sloate designs intricate mosaics that spice up any space. She’ll construct a piece using a clay process to incorporate glass, natural stone, even sentimental trinkets.

Commission a small piece incorporating your home’s colors (waves made from beachy glass) or give her free license to design a wall. Sloate can reinterpret record albums, candy logos, or a favorite personal image. If you’re a DIY-er, she’ll offer at-home lessons.

Think of it as love, set in stone.
