Modern Canvas Art in Interior Design
by Guest Post on Jul 6, 2010
Art can be a way of giving an interior the wow factor without the need to spend thousands on painting and decorating.
Decorating, wallpaper, and paint costs can amount to a fortune. Labor costs add quite considerably along with wall preparation and the many hidden costs that can occur when decorating, especially the case in older houses. In contrast, a piece of artwork is extremely easy and quick to hang giving instant satisfaction with no hidden costs.
A piece of artwork is something that reflects a person’s personality and individuality. It can be a statement or can blend sympathetically with a room’s design and color scheme. It is a way of personalizing a room and many pieces of artwork hold sentimental value from a special holiday or which could have been passed down from a relative.
Many people rent houses and flats. Either there are rules that the accommodation must not be altered in any way or should the tenancy be just 6 months, painting, decorating or doing any such DIY is not a viable expense in both time and money. A piece of artwork can make rented accommodation homely and provide a personal touch that is often missing in these circumstances. The piece of canvas artwork can then be packed up and moved to the next home.
There are many artists now that work closely with interior designers for both residential and business contracts. Designers can specify exactly the colors required to match the interiors and artists have been in agreement with following those schemes. It now means that some artists offer artwork that can be painted in colors to suit a client’s interior and the ability to order online enables the consumer or designer to choose from artists nationally, in fact, even worldwide. Art is becoming more and more accessible which is in turn, making pricing more accessible as well. The rise of shows such as ITV’s 60 Minute Makeover and DIY SOS, where the inclusion of pieces of canvas art are always showcased in the final room. This has enlightened homeowners about the effects a piece of modern artwork has on an interior.
Modern art is defined from the 1860s to the 1970s in terms of galleries and art history. In recent years the appeal of modern art in a wider context has occurred.
The new style of modern, open plan living had made for the need for equally as modern and unique art commissions for the white stark walls. The apartment living scene has especially contributed but even older style houses are having walls taken down to make way for the open plan living so popular today.
