Artworks at home contribute to the spirit of each room while bringing pleasure and happiness to the people who live there. Do not leave your home without art!
Art can be part of any object or action, and can be both universal and personal. Limiting art to painting or sculpture would be unfair to many other art forms, just as displaying it only on a wall or sideboard would be.Anything made by skilled craftspeople, created using traditional methods and bearing the signature of time-honoured masters can be art. It might be a rug, a coffee cup, a fabric pattern or a lamp.
There are hundreds of accomplished artists and craftspeople around the world, working in countless categories. Each creates distinctive works that appeal to different tastes. Learn about the inspirations, techniques and processes of artists whose style feels close to your own. This will tell you a great deal about yourself too.
When placing works you love around your home, consider how each piece relates to the furniture and objects surrounding it. It should not be overwhelmed by their size, appear dull beside their colours or disappear behind other belongings.Place a favourite artwork at the focal point and create a balance with the other elements. Make room for art in the bedroom, hallway, kitchen and even the bathroom.
