Hi Everyone!
How are we all enjoying this last month of summer? We’re not sure if we expect it to cool down anytime soon. So, we’re surrounding ourselves with lots of blues and greens and cooling colors. Just like this beautiful artwork, by Jennifer Gibbs! Check out her website below, her pieces are so dreamy! And we’re honored to have a few pieces of her decorating our own office.
So, how to make art work in your space? We have a couple tips for you and some motivation, to get going in your new art searches!
Grouping
When you find a piece you love, go for it! If it’s on the smaller side, look around and see if you can place it somewhere on a smaller wall. Art in the hallway, a small wall in the bathroom—it all works. When shopping for art pieces, always keep an eye out for another similar piece, to be able to group them all together and create an impact!
Paint Choice
Sometimes, a white wall is going to show off your art best! But you know that, here, at Paige Williams Interior Design, we are ALL for color. You can either match your paint color with a part of the artwork, or find a complementary color! If your art has large pops of yellow and orange, try painting your wall a light shade of blue. Imagine that the wall your hanging art on is an extension of the art piece you have.
Framing
The frame is like jewelry, it’s the final touch to the outfit! When selecting framing, you can make a big impact. It doesn’t stop at only framing, but the matting of a piece too. Think of all the old photographs you have in some cardboard box in your home. Imagine taking these special pieces, matching them with a sleek or chunky frame and a big enough mat to make this small photograph, a centerpiece in your home.
Artwork reflects your personality and it can play a big part in your home, even with many pieces or quite a few. We love the conversations we have with clients who want to showpiece something special in their home!
