We love to be part of the curation process at CheshirePaint. Whether it is in the home of a potential client or collaborating with interior designers and their design team, lets run you through the tips and tricks we have picked up helping 500+ customers to date.
Size Matters Most
Fear not, CheshirePaint has never found a wall 'too big' for our artwork. Creating the canvas by hand allows us to provide any exact size that best suit your space or wall. When adding original artwork to your space it is worth considering how much of an impact you would like the art to deliver. Naturally, the larger the artwork the more of a focal point it will be in your room.
This being said, bigger isn't always better. We find that artwork that is tailored in size to your individual and unique space is what can bring the wow factor. When you choose artwork at a size that is bespoke to your vision, it shows.
Framing Makes A Difference
Before moving on to positioning, colour coordination and lighting, it is worth deciding on framing. Adding a frame should be considered as it adds to the overall size of the artwork as well as a border and colour that surrounds your art.
Framing offers an opportunity to compliment and enhance the colours within the art if chosen or to contrast them and add additional impact to your walls. Golden frames are especially powerful for this.
Framing is by no means essential however, many CheshirePaint artwork spills onto the sides of the canvas and this raw finish is often preferred.
Colours: Compliment And Contrast
Artwork can be chosen to blend seamlessly to the colour palette of your room, walls and furniture or directly contrast it. This just depends on the atmosphere and effect you want your artwork to have.
Vibrant and colourful artwork that sits outside of the neutral colours of the walls and furniture in the room can help make the art the focal point of the room. Oppositely, a neutral and tranquil piece of artwork can add a calmness to your space and provide balance between furniture and wall colours.
Positioning And Lighting Change Everything
Careful consideration should be given to where your new artwork will be hung and both how natural light from windows and artificial lights in your room will illuminate the artwork. This can have an impact on the brightness and depth of colour a piece of art has. For those seeking to increase the dramatic feel or moodiness nature of their art, a spotlight or dedicated light above a piece can increase this considerably.
Getting creative with Sets Of Art to create a gallery wall or even placing artwork on a dedicated shelf instead of hanging it traditionally on a wall can offer depth to a room and a different feel from the artwork.
