What benefits does buying original art have over buying prints or reproductions? How do you go about finding an original art piece to bring into your home? What are the main things to have in mind when selecting a painting? How does one care for original wall art? If you're a visual/creative person like I am, you're probably well aware of how your surroundings can affect your mood and even your daily productivity levels. At the same time, it's likely important to you that your home (being an extension of yourself) is able to transmit your personality and individuality. You probably like to live your days in an inspired state of mind and simultaneously enjoy bringing inspiration to others with your distinct style and ideas. You know that your home is a big part of your life. It's your place of relaxation, where you entertain loved ones, and where you make important memories. It may even be your place of work (high-five!) or the space where you bring up your family and keep them protected. In their article titled 9 Benefits of Art in the Home and How to Curate a Collection, thezebra.com shares how having artwork up on our walls has benefits such as: lowering our stress levels, promoting critical thinking, supporting local artists, amongst many others. Because of all of these reasons, it's important to take the time to make our space our own. Many of us can fall into thinking that collecting original fine art is only for people who have lots of money to spend. However, with the Internet, it's easier than ever to find amazing decorative artwork at all price points. Moreover, the options are vast ranging from cheaper pieces that add a touch of life to a room, to vintage pieces that could add even more diversity to your investment portfolio. Furthermore, we're also able to connect with galleries and artists directly! We can easily start our own art collections composed of a mix of pieces that speak to us and transmit who we are to the world. We can find affordable art prints that we can hang up nearly immediately, as well as original paintings that no one else has and will last for generations to come. Lots of people are ready to invest in an original piece but feel it's easier to decorate with cheaper, mass-produced art, or are overwhelmed because they don't have experience visiting galleries or simple are too shy to build relationships with artists directly. In today's guest post, Madeline Dudziak, who writes for macfineart.com, is going to share some valuable tips on decorating with original fine art, as well as information that will help demystify the art-buying process. Let's get into her article! How to Choose Artwork for Interior Decorating (5 Valuable Tips)
by Madeline Dudziak
Once you’ve had a chance to settle into your home, you may begin to tire of the box store’s mass produced “Live, Laugh, Love” decor and may be longing for some proper art. It can be so hard to choose though and there are so many options when it comes to finding the right art pieces for a room, that it can get a bit overwhelming. When you’re first setting out down the road of fine art, you may feel out of place scoping out galleries to find a painting that speaks to you or that will suit a room in a way that will both let your personality shine and showcase the piece simultaneously. If you’re struggling to figure out how to choose the right painting for your space, the next five tips will make the process easier! 1. Be InspiredThe first rule of thumb when selecting an artwork is to not stress about the decision. Unless you have a strict timeline, it’s unrealistic to think you'll just walk into a gallery, immediately find something you love, and hang it on your wall that evening. There are many things to consider when looking to decorate and taking them all into consideration is important. For example:
Starting an art collection is easier than ever. You can seek new artists in local art events and social media, as well as browsing galleries both in person and online until you come across pieces that speak to you. Follow these artists and galleries so that you can stay up-to-date with new work being shared. If you're reading this article, chances are you're a visual, creative being. You're probably already aware that your surroundings can have a strong impact on how you think and feel. Being surrounded by art that speaks to you is incredibly inspiring and can improve your own creativity. Paintings can be expressive of your personality and feeling, but they can also prompt you to work harder and feel better in your day-to-day life. While art can be considered an investment, if you start buying paintings just to make money in the future, you’re rather missing the point and the opportunity to cultivate a higher appreciation for art. Sometimes art can be used as a social status but don’t let keeping up with Jones’ stop you from buying pieces that you adore. While you hope your guests will feel similarly inspired by your home’s artistic style, ultimately you want to surround yourself with art that speaks to you. Your home is an extension of yourself and should represent who you are. Check out more tips on finding art that's right for you in this article over at thezebra.com 2. Seek UniqueWhile it can be practical (and cheap) to buy mass-produced art reproductions, there's nothing like being the sole owner of an original art piece that can be handed down for generations to come. Nothing compares to the feeling of owning an original painting that an artist spent hours upon hours creating and has a piece of them in it. Not to mention, you'll be hard-pressed to find a reproduction that can outlast a well-made painting. This said, you certainly don’t want to spend your time, effort and money on a piece that was sold to you as an original and really isn't. This is why it's important to visit reputable art galleries or go straight to an artist. Whether you hope to become a collector or you just want to have one great piece of art in your home, buying original paintings from artists you love is easier than ever before. The Internet gives us the ability to personally reach out to galleries and artists all around the world with whom you can establish connections and build relationships with over time. 3. Size MattersAcquiring smaller pieces or quality reproductions may be a great way to start your collection and developing a relationship with an artist or gallery, but it's important to acknowledge that they have a tendency to get lost in a room. You don’t want your art to look like a tiny island in a sea of a wall, light fixtures and book shelves. Most likely, if you're going to invest in an original artwork, you want it to be a focal point in your room. So go ahead and look at larger pieces! Showcase your favorite art and bring a new life to your space. Of course, there are areas and rooms in any home that can accommodate smaller paintings, too. Think of entryways, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, etc. A good rule of thumb is you want your wall art to cover ⅔-¾ of your wall. Measure the height and width of your wall and multiply those numbers by .57. That will give you the smallest dimensions you should be looking for. If that is much too large for you, you can always opt to create a gallery wall or group art together to cover the necessary space. Some artists even have groupings of paintings that are sold as a set, so keep an eye out for art like that, especially if you have a lot of space to fill. 4. Hanging Your Art ProperlyDon’t just eyeball it and pound a nail. If you’re going to put in the time and effort to buy an amazing art piece that you love, make sure you're giving it the respect it deserves and hang it up properly. While certainly a room’s architectural design (wall height/width, location of windows, etc.) may dictate where the frame should rest, you will want to carefully consider what wall and specific location the piece should be installed in. Consider the furniture and accessories you already have in the room. Does it make sense to leave them where they are, or will the room work better as a whole if things are moved around now that you have an important focal point in your decor? Another huge element to consider is lighting! I highly recommend installing the art piece on a wall that receives little to no direct sunlight. Sun rays can drain a picture of its vibrant color, which is the last thing you want. If you have a room with a lot of windows and sunlight that needs art, make sure to frame it using specialized UV acrylic plexiglass which will protect the paint from fading. While there are exceptions to any rule, you should aim for your artwork’s center to be at eye level or 57 to 60 inches from the floor. The next formula will help guide you through this process: First, divide the height of the frame in two. Take the resulting number and subtract the distance from the top of the frame to the hanging hardware the frame has. Add this number to 57, 58, 59 or 60. Take your sum, measure upwards from floor level to that many inches on the wall, and mount your hardware there. This should give you the proper place for hanging art at eye level. 5. Tender Care Aside from direct sunlight, another factor that can affect the painting is humidity. Make sure you choose a room and area with low humidity and no direct contact with water. Excessive moisture can damage a painting over time. If your art requires cleaning, simply dust it with a feather duster and leave it alone. Never use water or cleaning products, and inform yourself on cleaning instructions when you buy the piece. The gallery or artist will be happy to provide tips and recommendations. If at any point you notice that the art is becoming damaged, immediately reach out to the gallery or artist for suggestions. If you're unable to do so, another option is reaching out to a restoration expert. Cover your art with cardboard and bubble wrap for transporting to avoid further damage. ConclusionArtistic expression and individuality are beautiful, powerful things. We're all unique and deserve to have inspiring spaces to live in that reflect who we are to our guests. Don't hesitate reaching out to galleries or artists today and, just ask! I assure you, they'll be incredibly happy to help you, and you'll never regret starting this relationship. Allow yourself the chance to fall in love with art and to truly appreciate the pieces you bring into your home. Anyone can become an art collector! The magic starts with only one piece.

My sister and I bought an apartment together a few months ago because we are both going to the same Graduate School and we want to spend more time together. Yesterday we were talking about the fact that we want to add some art to the walls of the apartment, but we're not sure where to start. You make a great point that we should first think about the styles that we like as well as the emotions we want our art to portray.

My favorite part of this article was when you explained that you should consider what kind of emotion you would like the art that you pick to evoke. I have been thinking about getting a painting for my home in order to decorate it a simple way that is minimalist but also has a lot of personalities, so I need ideas and suggestions. I will make sure that I keep the tips that you gave in mind, though, so I can make the right decision that will fit the aesthetic of my home.

Thanks for helping me understand how to apply artwork as interior decorations! My uncle is thinking of making his home look artsy by adding a couple of art pieces but he's wondering if there was anything he needs to know before hanging one. What you said about purchasing art from someone who spent hours on creating the masterpiece is really inspiring. I should share this with him so he'll have a guide on where to add the recycled glass ocean art he purchased.

It's a great point that some unique pieces of art are going to last for a really long time and be passed down through generations. My brother is trying to get some new art for his home this summer so that it looks more modern. He really needs to find a local professional that can help him understand what art is worth it's price tag and certification.

You made a good point when you shared that it is important to hang the art properly by considering the furniture and accessories you already have in the room. My wife and I are thinking of redecorating our living room so it will look more lively and appealing when we have guests come over to our place. I will keep in mind to hang the piece of art properly but I need to find a service to help frame it first.

I liked how you can improve your creativity when you decorate your interior with art. My wife and I are wanting to renovate our living room and we were wondering what we should look for in decorating the room. I'll be sure to tell her that we should look for some nice art to add to our living room.

Thanks for the tip to take the time to hang up a piece of artwork properly if you are going to spend time and money getting it. My biggest worry is that my current design won't look good with any art at all. I'll change it up and then try my best to hang it up as straight as possible.

It was really helpful when you said to reach out to a restoration expert. My husband and I recently got an old art piece a couple of weeks ago for our home that is pretty damaged, and we were wondering how we could get it fixed so that it can look nice again. We'll have to look into finding an art restoration service that can help us!

Thanks for pointing out that excessive moisture can damage a painting over time so we should choose a room with low humidity. My husband and I are planning to improve our living room's appearance before my parents come to visit in August. We are hoping to find an 8x10 Father and Son Judaica painting on Monday that can complement our white walls.

Many interior designers decide on the framed art before they choose the wall color. ... The interior designer will pick two or three colors from the canvas wall art and incorporate those colors into the room's decor. Art provides a focal point. Most interior designers say that every room needs a focal point.

I like that this post highlighted that when looking for interior decorations, it is best that we are mindful of the theme of the decorations. It makes sense as in doing so, it ensures that everything is in harmony. Since my wife mentioned she needs bottle art. I will definitely look for something that is sealife themed or beach themed.

It was a great insight when you said that newer generations of your family can inherit original paintings and artwork, because your ancestry is the sole owner. I love the idea of hanging paintings in my interiors, because I think that it will be a timeless decoration. Thank you for this, I'll definitely find myself a great modern painting in the market.

Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation! You mentioned that size matters when choosing artwork and I agree with you. Just a quick question, do you think a Buddha wall art with the size of 40" x 30" is big enough to be a focal point?

It got me when you said that buying pieces of artwork can make you feel great because you will be the sole owner of a certain design. I guess I should look for fine art paintings of Southwestern scenes for sale so that it will also reflect my roots where I came from.
