We make the decision buying a specific piece of art typically does not depend on its size work or whether it is compatible with other items. The decision is often driven by something that is more tangible, like we know that the object is a part of us. However, the practical issues of this couple prompted us to think. What are the advantages of bringing an abstract painting into the home? What should they take into consideration to make it happen in a way that is appropriate for their home? After some consideration we came up with some suggestions that, should we had the chance take them back and share with the couple who are in the gallery.
Art First and Furniture later
The primary concern of them was whether the huge artworks they were looking at could be in conflict with their other furniture. The thing we can tell the couple is that it is extremely rare to have people hold the same furniture for more than 10 years. It’s quite normal today for people to remove furniture and begin afresh. Fashion trends change and disappear. Color preferences alter on the spur of the moment. But the art you create will remain there throughout your life.
If you come across a huge abstract painting you’d want to have, then you need not fret about how it will be a good fit with your furnishings or décor. A majority of the art has an expiration date. Start with art. Purchase what you like. When the moment arrives to change your furniture and alter the color that your wall is, you are able to select items that will work in harmony with the artwork.
The large paintings create an aesthetic Language
One of the toughest aspects of an area is to label it using an overall aesthetic that connects the furnishings and the space together. Large abstract wall art is great to accomplish this because they are able to be used solely in relation to their aesthetics. The formal elements of paintings, like line or color, form, texture and shape can establish the mood or tone to create a cohesive design through creating an aesthetic vocabulary for the space.
For instance, a huge abstract red painting that has horizontal lines can be used to create an image that can be displayed throughout the room with furniture coverings such as cushions, flooring covers and accent pieces such as sculptures or vases. The texture of the painting could be replicated in the fabric or personal objects that fill the space. Whatever style of aesthetic is crafted by the artwork and letting it guide the choices you make about your decor will create an inviting and cohesive ambience for the room, and draw focus to the artwork.
Large Paintings Bridge Objects and Large Paintings Space
Smaller artworks can bring a sense of intimacy to rooms by drawing viewers to turn their attention towards the artwork in order to examine it more deeply. However, often, a room is so big or dramatic that a tiny artwork can be overwhelmed or obscured by the structure. Abstract paintings of large size are especially beneficial in these types of areas. In the case of an area has two stories high cathedral ceilings, a huge abstract painting placed in just the ideal spot, not too far from the floor, will aid in bridging the gap between the grandness of the space and the dimension of the décor.
If a room is prominent in its style or style, for example, being too elaborate, minimalist, or too geometric the forms and shapes of the art work can assist to counteract that effect. For instance, biomorphic forms in large paintings can deflect the aggressiveness of a precise Modernist geometric space or the reverse is true. Also, since a big abstract painting is simple to view from afar and viewers do not need to be close to it to take in the experience.
Attitude, Mood and Light
Everyone knows how crucial that it is for us to establish a positive ambience in our homes. An abstract painting of a large size can set the mood in a room by using the use of pattern, color and composition. If you are in a space where people gather the presence of a lively pattern or composition that evokes movement could create an energetic atmosphere. In a space designed for unwinding, an abstract painting that is characterized by subtle colors or a harmonious arrangement can help create a sense of tranquil reflection.
Lighting is the second significant factor that determines the atmosphere of a space. Large abstract paintings will enhance the effect of the ambient light. The painting’s surface will reflect any light that enters the space. Also, if you paint the walls with a shade that is a little darker or a tone the painting will catch more light and be an insignificant source of illumination. A key thing to keep in mind when framing large paintings is to choose conservation Reflection Control glass. That way, that the artwork will reflect light, but the glass won’t.
Where will it fit?
The final major concern that the couple from the gallery had was the location in which an abstract piece of art could be placed. They were especially concerned that the painting would not be able to fit on the wall they had. We don’t be sure of how large their house was, or how many blank walls there were. However, we know that the majority of building codes require that ceilings be at 7 feet (2134 millimeters) tall for a space in order to qualify as habitable. We are exposed to art every day, to work or for fun. We’ve only seen some paintings that were more than seven feet in height in a gallery, or in a public space. The artist Franz Kline, who was famous for his large canvasses, seldom painted anything larger than 96 inches high.
If you’ve ever attempted to locate a painting that you want that you could hang in a space that has cathedral ceilings, you’ll know the difficulty to locate one piece of art that is this large. If you’re in an art gallery or looking for artwork online, be at ease knowing that in most cases , the artwork that you’re looking at is carefully selected with at least a little thinking about residential buyers.
