Three Tips On How to Buy Art For An Office

 

 

Inspire a good working environment, strike the right tone, create the right impression- art in the office has to do a lot more than just add to the interiors. It needs to create a balance and that my friend is not that difficult as we know a thing or two about how to find an art piece that perfectly adds value to your office atmosphere.

1. Dare to be different

The art piece you choose gives out a message and it depends what impression you wish to give out. You don’t have to choose a generic canvas that suits all; you can go for contemporary and lesser-known artists whose piece gives out the innovation and creativity your organization pillars are based on.

Go for originality and creativity that would show the vision of your organization.

2. Choose the right tone

When choosing artwork for your office you need to take the color, style and subject into consideration. For example, choosing a red artwork might really enhance the atmosphere of a dynamic and energetic startup but can prove to be over the top at a doctor’s waiting room. Soothing blues and greens can be the color for them.

Similarly, a travel art piece would not work well for a 9-to-5 office as they might feel like escaping or daydreaming looking at the travel piece. An abstract painting making a bold statement can be a good choice for such a setting.

3. Use Sculpture

A sculpture or other such media can work very well in the office lobby or waiting area or the main entrance. It can create curiosity or inquisitiveness or authoritativeness.

Within the office, smaller pieces can create a cozier atmosphere or soften the clinical look.

Abstract pieces that offer bold appeal or intricate pieces can lift the atmosphere.

 

Workplace No-No’s

While bold and original art pieces can enhance your work area, make sure to stay away from erotica, religious pieces and art pieces that take up a lot of space. Keep your work art space clean and welcoming.
