Have you ever wondered “Do I need to use art in interior design”? The answer is yes if you want a beautiful and stunning-looking room. Today's article will go over how to choose and display art when decorating your home.
A home
Whether you live in a house with a view of the ocean or in a studio apartment on the corner of two busy intersections, there’s always something that can be done to make your home look and feel nicer. The right kind of decor helps create an oasis where you can go to relax after a long day at work.
Art is one way you can make your home look good while also making it feel good looking at it. Whether you choose to use art as a focal point for your room or choose subtle accents, there are many ways that art can improve a space.
A hotel lobby
Next time you're in a hotel lobby, take a moment to consider the space. Chances are good you'll notice a few things that help the area function well. You might be aware of how the lobby feels welcoming and inviting to both guests and those who are just passing through.
You'll probably notice that it's an interesting space—there's likely something for everyone there. Perhaps there's art or plants that help the room feel alive and reflect the city or town where it's located. There may be some comfy seating so people can have something to do while they wait, and a great desk to check-in at that is staffed by people who are helpful and friendly without being overbearing.
From beginning to end, every element of this space has been carefully curated with each part working together in balance with everything else around it so as to create an overall effect of harmony, interest, and functionality.
A restaurant
People often come to a restaurant to escape their everyday lives. Restaurants are places where people can relax, reflect, and enjoy the company of others. As such, creating an atmosphere that is conducive to these feelings is key in ensuring that your customers will return. Art is a great way of creating a welcoming atmosphere for your customers. With the right piece of art hanging on the wall or placed on a table, you can influence the moods of your guests and create an experience they will remember fondly long after they take their last bite.
A boutique shop
The art you choose to display in your home says a great deal about who you are. It's a reflection of your values, what you like, your personality and philosophy.
When you walk into any business, the sign out front signifies who they are and what they do. The same is true of the artwork on display in your business or home. Walking into a boutique shop tells you that it's carefully curated. Walking into an office lets you know it's business-like and serious. Are there clients or employees that share beliefs with or can relate to the images on display? If not, then it may be time to consider making some changes.
An office building lobby
In an office building lobby, an abstract hanging sculpture can convey sophistication and inspire opportunities for conversation. Inside a conference room, art can be used to enhance the space’s energy—as well as fuel creative thinking at the table. In a lobby or hallway, art adds life to an otherwise sterile environment.
In addition to these practical benefits of incorporating art into your workspace, there are emotional ones as well. Art has been found to reduce stress and boost creativity. It can also help you attract and retain talent, build a company culture that feels authentic, and reflect your mission and values. Whatever your goal is in choosing art for your workspace, finding the right partners will ensure you achieve it while having fun along the way!
A hospital room
Art for interior design can be incredibly helpful, especially in a place like a hospital room. Art has the power to instantly enliven a space, and it can make the difference between a room that feels clinical and sterile versus one where patients are able to feel like they're still living.
A hospital is an environment that's not easy for many people to be in, whether it's as an inpatient or even as a visitor. There are sounds (and sometimes smells) that are unique to this type of setting, and it's common for most people to feel nervous about what will happen there. That stress can be compounded when you know you're going into surgery or getting treatment for something serious like cancer—and if you're in pain from whatever brought you into the hospital originally!
A bright painting on the wall might help take patients' and visitors' minds off all those worries. If nothing else, looking at something other than white walls is likely preferable when spending hours or days recovering from surgery or illness.
A school corridor
Art has the ability to tell a story. It can tell a story about the people who live and work in an environment, or it can simply be chosen to create a certain feeling. A corridor in a school is unique in that it has the potential to function as both a public space and as an extension of the classroom. Even though hallways are often viewed as areas of transit rather than places for community-building, art provides exciting opportunities for completely transforming this perception. Through thoughtfully curated art installations, corridors have the power to spark creativity, inspire students, and encourage conversations between students and faculty alike.
Art helps to create a comfortable and inviting space for anyone who enters it.
