Art in Interior Design: The Ways to Incorporate It

Art in Interior: Enhancing Space with Paintings and Sculpture 

Art is a perfect tool for elevating a living space. It has a huge transformational effect and can be smartly applied to your home. Moreover, art gives you freedom of expression and a great possibility to reflect your values.  

The private space should serve one's favor, regardless of the interior style. Whether it’s an urge for inspiration, relaxation hours at home, or time for hosting guests, home decoration plays a very significant role in life experiences. The art pieces integrated into the interior can get the observer acquainted with the house owner in a special creative way. From abstract paintings to classical portraits, art can dramatically impact the room's perception and the atmosphere in general. Create sophistication, add some elegance, provoke a joyful mood — all is up to your personal choice only.

Besides, art is great for health. Mental well-being is determined by the quality of life. The quality of life depends on its thoughtful organization, including private space. So how can you organize it in a proper way and which important factors should be taken into consideration in the first place?

Essential Factors for Home Decoration

There is a huge variety of benefits when it comes to decorating a home with art. Only one’s personal taste is the limit. The right question to be asked here is whether the atmosphere and ergonomics are improved or not by art integration. The interior decoration should be chosen during the design process (in the best-case scenario). The professional designer knows all the details of correct paintings and sculpture combinations. But if you want to decorate or restyle your existing living room, bedroom, or any other space — follow the essential tips given below: 

1. Choose the focal point of the room.

 

Use some eye-catching paintings or sculptures to enhance the space in the desired way. You may also integrate photographs to create a home gallery wall. Play with the sizes and art piece locations so that the result looks eye-entertaining. 

2. Express uniqueness with a favorite art piece combination.

For example, you can use modern sculptures and art deco paintings, which are just one of the good combo variations. Mind your own space perception and ideas. Drop the limits. Consider the color scheme of the interior to make the whole room look harmoniously balanced. Don’t use too many colors at a time. Remember the old fundamental interior rule «Less is more».  You can combine landscape photography with marvelous handcraft decorations from some specific region. A method like this helps to emphasize the ethnic accents in the chosen style.

3. Mind the calmness effect art can produce.

If you prefer natural colors and plots, there’s good news for you — such art can dramatically reduce stress and uplift your spirits by creating a positive environment. It is scientifically proven that art can comfort you and promote relaxation needed on a daily basis. So it can be some relief for the nervous system. 

4. Increase work productivity.

Paintings can also serve as powerful brain stimulation in the office or working space at home. Art can raise your creativity through the dynamics of shapes and color combinations. Interesting plots can also be highly inspiring and provoke stunning ideas. Imagine being inspired without even leaving home.

5. Influence the weight of the space.

Create a balanced interior with artwork. It’s a famous design principle — a room should be harmoniously decorated by objects and textures so that every part of it can naturally complement another. As an example, there can be an antiquary wooden commode in one part of the room and a massive fireplace in a different part so that the space would not look too light from one side and overweight or heavy — from another side. The same principle is applied to the art pieces. Choosing a huge dark sculpture and tiny light paintings in different areas of the same space is aesthetically wrong. So choose wisely.

6. Art as a conversation stimulus.

Why not have something so amazingly unusual that it astonishes your guests and makes them discuss what they observe with you? Keep them wondering about the purpose of the art piece and its core meaning. It will help to establish some emotional connection between interlocutors and initiate warm memorable impressions.

7. Think about the history behind artworks.

Paintings and sculptures genuinely tell the story of outstanding artists, special places, and epochs depicting scenes of life. They are like a time machine for human imagination, containing the chronology of the centuries through artistic narratives. Modern and antique, original pieces and affordable prints—they all have something exciting to demonstrate to the observer. A curious mind can spot such information as symbolism, cultural flows, political changes, and much more in a piece of art from a specific historical period. 

8. Textures create amusement.

You can complement the interior textures with those of the art pieces. Wood and glass, marble and mosaic—find out which texture suits your concept best. Play with ornaments and emphasize specific areas to zone the environment. This way, art gains functional purpose as well.

The conclusion is that art gives you total freedom more than anything else: freedom of self-expression, freedom of taste demonstration, freedom to create a sophisticated atmosphere, and much more. You can keep in mind and wisely apply these practical tips or use the assistance of a specialist to decorate your home.
