Secrets of an Art Selector
It can sometimes feel a little daunting trying to choose a new artwork. But it’s something we do every day here. And to be honest, it’s quite good fun. Perhaps that’s the first secret…
Read on for some tips on choosing artwork for your home or business.
Secret #1: Enjoy it.
The art you choose should make you feel good – when you look at it perhaps you’ll smile. It’s a positive addition to your life. And ideally searching for the right art shouldn’t be a chore. Enjoy it! Consider what style of art makes you look twice. Get to know the artworks of 1 or 2 artists that have caught your attention.
Secret #2: Colour Thoughts.
Art with a striking colour palette can certainly influence the feel of a room. You can create a contrast colour pop that adds energy to a space, or choose complimentary tones that draw together features in the room.
Secret #3: Size Matters.
If you’re seeking art for a particular room or wall then yes it is useful to consider the size of the wall and overall space. It will help guide you towards ideal size and orientation options.
Secret #4: Try it out…
We know seeing art in a Gallery is one thing, experiencing it on your own wall is another. You have options - take a photo of your wall and ask to see the art superimposed. Or take the art home, enjoy it for a while and confirm it’s the one.
Secret #5: If you love it. Get it!
No explanation required :). Personalise your space, add energy and interest, capture a story or moment with a canvas. Or just smile at the creative ‘je ne sais quoi’ of the gorgeous art you’ve chosen.
