Artwork in design

Don’t forget the room’s jewelry

To me, the artwork is the jewelry that makes the outfit complete. Artwork is personal, draws emotions from the viewer, and can be a reminder of experiences or destinations visited by the homeowner. It can add personality, color, and a chance to reflect and ponder what the artist is trying to communicate. Artwork is the perfect way to complete a room design.

When it comes to size, the bigger the better! I like artwork to fill a wall and make a statement. When building a new home or doing a renovation, it is important to consider artwork in the design. You need enough wall space for the artwork to be the proper scale and also lighting to showcase the pieces.

I can design rooms around an existing piece of artwork, or design a room and then seek out or commission the perfect pieces to finish the space. It is important to assign a budget for artwork up front in a project so it isn’t a last-minute extra expense.

Below I share some of my favorite pieces of artwork to inspire you on the many styles that are possible. Enjoy the creativity in it all!
