Why Is Artwork in a Home so Important?

Posted by De Modeler on March 15th, 2021

Think about what makes your home so special. It's the people who live in it, of course, but beyond living things, what sets your home apart from the rest? Chances are good it's the artwork and decorative pieces you place around the house.

Personality

• The items you choose, from the modern wall art for living room walls, to living room hanging mirrors, say something about you.
• While art collectors may choose pieces based on their value, most people choose art that showcases their personality.
• Those who enter the home get an instant glimpse into you and your family.

Interest

What is a house? It's basically a bunch of squares; without art, that would be very boring. When you add art to the walls, tables, and shelves, you instantly add interest to space. A visitor's eye is drawn from one piece to the next. Rather than staring at blank walls, the eye travels from one interesting object to the next. The art you choose breathes life into the home.

Happiness

• Choose art that makes you happy; you should smile when you see it.
• Don't choose your art based on what someone else likes; you should love the art you choose.
• Don't try to fill your home with trendy pieces if they don't fit your personality.
• You don't have to stick with a theme. Buy what you like; it's okay to be eclectic.

If your art isn't making you feel good and bringing out a smile, it's time to choose something else.

Fun

Choosing your own art is fun. This is especially true if it's your first home. After living with someone else's choices, it's nice to be able to choose your own. Art gives you a chance to be creative, vulnerable, and to get to know yourself. The pieces you choose say a lot about you and your innermost feelings. As your home comes together with your decorating skills, you have a strong sense of accomplishment. It feels wonderful to look around the home that you created and feel good about it.

Fill your home with artwork that speaks to your soul. Art helps you turn your house into a happy relaxing oasis that you'll love coming home to. Trust your instincts as you shop for your art and decorative pieces. Your instincts won't fail you. If you like it, buy it.
