How to choose art for your environment

Art often is the single most important element in an environment…

However, with many of my clients, it either seems as though art is an after-thought, or we are caught pigeon-holing their favorite piece into the wrong space!

Even if you don’t consider yourself an “artsy” person, anyone can learn how to choose meaningful pieces for their own space, in alignment with their own innate aesthetic! Art is extremely personal like your taste in music or clothes and it really should never be outsourced to anyone else!

I want you to choose the pieces of art that you live with intentionally so that their magic can influence you in your home or another environment.

I know the art world can be scary and overwhelming, not to mention the prices of originals!

(*Completely worth it but for regular folks, I understand the fear level! More on how to navigate this later!)

I am someone who goes to museums for fun and deeply enjoyed my childhood art classes… but I do understand when most of my clients tell me

“eh, I’ll skip on that piece of art for now…”

But more often than not art is the most important piece in a room that ties it all together.
