Designing interiors using art is an attractive investment and it is interior designers who play a major role in realizing this creative vision. Art plays a huge role in modern interior design projects and adds to the beauty of the space. Art acts as a focal point that can enhance the overall interior decoration and add depth, personality and a unique touch to any room.
In this article, we will explore how art and interior design intersect. Whether you are an interior designer, or just interested in interior design, this article will provide valuable tips for creating an attractive and art-inspired interior.
The right size:
Consider the dimensions of the wall where you plan to hang the canvas. Larger pieces can act as focal points, smaller pieces can be placed together to create a gallery wall.
Creating a focal point and attention:
A focal point is the element that attracts attention when you first enter the space. In a space, it refers to the area that receives the most attention and is the place where the most time is spent. Large canvases are one of the best tools for creating a focal point. In addition to producing large canvases, Bumiran also produces custom-sized canvases to provide the best backdrop for your needs.
Matching the art style to the room’s décor:
Make sure the style of the painting you choose complements the overall décor of the room. For example, contemporary art may be suitable for a modern interior, while a landscape painting may be suitable for a traditional space.
Creating balance and proportion:
Balance the size and placement of the painting with the other elements in the room. Create visual balance by spacing the artwork evenly and considering the height of furniture and fixtures.
Combining paintings to create a gallery wall:
The history of gallery walls dates back to 17th-century Paris, when the works of graduates of the Royal Academy were displayed from floor to ceiling so that no one would miss a single piece.
You can display multiple works on one wall. Not all canvases need to be the same size, and you can create a unique gallery wall for your space by arranging them in the right way.
Hang them in unpredictable places:
There are no set rules for determining the right place to display your work. Your creativity plays a big role in the final look of the space you are designing. So by paying attention to the often overlooked points, you can make your space unique.
In front of the library
Use a large canvas instead of a door
Hang canvases on the window (like curtains).
Combine several large canvases to create a partition
In the bathroom
In front of unused fireplaces
Above kitchen cabinets
Hang works in the corners of the walls
Use paintings just below the ceiling
Use paintings in open and outdoor spaces
Hang them inside shelves without doors
Create harmony between the colors used:
Use paintings to create harmony between the colors in the room. To create a cohesive look, choose artwork that has colors that are present in the furniture, walls, or accessories in the room.
Mix and match artwork:
To complement the artwork and increase its impact, mix and match different canvas shapes and techniques. For a cohesive look, match artwork to existing furniture or decorative elements.
For example, large artworks are used to balance simpler furniture and fewer decorative items. While small artworks can be combined with delicate, detailed furniture.
Use art to define spaces:
The type of artwork you choose should reflect the function of the room. For example, a relaxing bedroom would be best served with soothing abstract art. Meanwhile, a vibrant living room needs bold, colorful artwork. Think about the mood you want to create in the space and choose an artwork that aligns with that.
Using Multi-Layered Canvases:
One of the popular uses of canvas paintings in space design is the use of multi-layered paintings. Creating an image on several separate canvases gives a dramatic effect to the wall and can create a focal point.
The canvases do not have to be the same size. It is better for the central canvases to be larger in size, which creates movement from the middle to the corners.
Using Hexagonal Canvases:
The hexagon is one of the shapes that is repeated many times in nature and is one of the most popular and familiar shapes. You can combine several hexagonal canvases together with inspiration from nature and create interesting patterns. Hexagonal canvases are a great alternative to square and rectangular canvases that are commonly used and add a different effect to the space.
Lighting:
With proper lighting on the painting, you can increase the impact of its colors and textures. Use adjustable spotlights or halogens to highlight the works or create natural light to make the paintings more impressive.
Keep in mind that sunlight can damage the work over time and cause it to fade.
Make sure that varnish is used on the final work to prevent some of this damage.
Varnishes are available from Boomiran’s website and Instagram in liquid and spray mediums.
Personalization:
Choose works that you personally connect with or that tell a story. Let your artistic choices reflect your personality and interests.
You can even use a family portrait or photos
