How to Choose Artwork for Your Space

Selecting the ideal artwork for your space can be a daunting task, especially amidst a sea of amateur creations. Navigating through this maze to find a piece that not only holds value but also adds a touch of timeless elegance to your surroundings is essential. Here are some essential steps to guide you: 

1. Set a Budget: Setting a budget might sound cliché, but it's crucial. Be transparent about your financial range with your advisor. This transparency helps filter out irrelevant options, ensuring you don’t fixate on a piece far beyond your budget. Embrace the fact that good options exist for every budget range, so even if you're starting small, there's a plethora of choices available. 

2. Choose the Focal Point: Art enthusiasts often make the mistake of selecting artwork without designating a specific wall. Prioritize choosing one or two focal points in your space before initiating the selection process. What suits your dining room might not align with your study or living room, so strategic placement is key.

 3. Attention to Detail: Precise measurements of your chosen spaces are essential. If working with advisors, share comprehensive details, including the desired ambiance, existing decor theme, wall color and texture, furnishings, and lighting. Having a well-documented list helps you make informed decisions, ensuring the artwork harmonizes seamlessly with your interiors. 

A. Does the artwork complement my existing decor? 

B. Does it illuminate my living room effectively? 

C. Is the size suitable for my wall? 

D. Does the composition create the impactful entryway I desire? 

4. Choose Your Preferred Genre: Your space is your sanctuary; hence, your chosen artwork should align with your personal taste. Compile a list of preferred genres, whether its seascapes evoking childhood memories or captivating abstract art. Selecting artwork from your preferred genre adds a meaningful touch, ensuring it continues to bring joy over time. 

5. Commission Artwork: Patience is a virtue. If you adore an artwork but feel it needs adjustments, consider commissioning it. Speak to your advisor about customization options. Remember, original artworks aren't prints; embrace the 20% variance while honoring the uniqueness of each piece. Commissions offer a pathway to enhancing your match and contentment, ensuring the artwork seamlessly integrates into your space.
