Art is one of the most important elements in Interior design. We look at all the magazines and hi-end design on its pages and wonder what makes it so stark and covetable. It could give a space definition, edge and often character.
Art moves us, regardless of whether you are an art person or not. It doesn’t have to be something popular or well known. We all had those moments where we pass by a street artist and an image somehow jumps at you and you stop for a split second, before walking by, waiving away that fleeting feeling of amazement. This is what I’m often looking for, not all images that I like is Da Vinci’s Madonna, some are so silly, that I often laugh at myself for liking it, never the less the art had achieved its purpose, it made me feel.
An Important moment to decide here would be what you want your space to achieve, Art could calm down the mood or energize the space with its presence.
Step two will be to educate yourself. Try to explore as much art as you possibly can. With the abundance of art available on the internet, you shouldn’t have the problem, just don’t look at all of it in one place. If you can, visit some art galleries. It doesn’t cost a dime to look through some work of aspiring artists, and you can make it into a wonderful Sunday stroll and delicious brunch.
This will definitely help you sort this into categories, whether you like the traditional art, contemporary or modern.
It is also a good Idea to choose the art last, this way you can enhance the room with its presence, and add to it.
Choosing color first will not be a wrong move, after all, it is a part of the decor. Pull your colors from the fabric of your furniture, fabric patterns, and textures. Try and see if going the opposite direction will work for you rather than a match with the decor. as An example, if you have blue and beige interior a pop of red and black and white could be just what the doctor ordered.
The size in most cases should not be bigger than the size of your couch or credenza if it’s hanging above it.
It’s a great Idea to allocate a portion of the budget for it, as the cost will often be more than you would initially expect. The cost of an oversized modern canvas print could run you a couple of hundred dollars.
Art is an expression through color and contest, There are no wrong answers when it comes to style.
