Art is often one of the last decisions made in an interior project. By then the furniture, lighting, finishes, and color palette may already be fixed.
That can work, but it also limits what the art is allowed to do.
Consider the art earlier
Bringing art into the conversation earlier gives you more options. You can test scale before the furniture plan is final, think about the main sightline, and make sure the lighting works for the piece.
You don't have to design the entire room around the art. You just don't have to treat it as the last empty space to fill.
Evaluate the actual wall
Start with measurements. Mark the artwork's dimensions with painter's tape and look at it from the doorway and the places where the client will normally sit or move through the room.
A 24 by 36 work can hold a substantial wall, but scale depends on the architecture around it. There is no universal size that works everywhere.
Framed or aluminum
My aluminum works float approximately half an inch from the wall and arrive ready to hang. The framed works create a more defined edge around the image.
The room may make one choice easier than the other. Look at surrounding furniture, wall width, lighting, and how much visual activity is already present.
One of one in a client project
Every work in Unapologetic Faces is one of one. Once a piece is acquired, that specific work is no longer available for another project.
For a designer, that gives the client a work that won't later appear as the same edition in another residence.
Working directly with Milton Wes Art
Designers and hospitality buyers can contact me directly about placement, scale, multiple works, and project timing.
Send photographs of the room, wall dimensions, and anything useful about the lighting. I'll tell you which available works I think are worth considering, including when I don't think a particular piece is right for the wall.
