Should Your Painting Match Your Décor?
I always say that my clients have to cover three things when they buy my artwork; the size, the style and the color of their new piece. The first two are normally the easy ones. The colors on the other hand, make everyone nervous. Some people stress too much about colors. The number one question I get from clients is whether or not they should buy a piece of art to match their décor. It seems that the simple answer would be yes but in fact, I recommend that it doesn't. Before you panic, let me explain.
It's good to bring in a color to match one of your accent colors in the room but I always recommend to try not to be too "matchy matchy" when it comes to choosing art. Over time your decorating tastes will change which means that the art you choose won't match your room anymore. Typically you buy art for a long time so make sure that you love the piece as opposed to love that it matches your room. You do want to make sure that the painting doesn't totally clash with everything else that is in the room. Art is no different from furniture and accessories. You have to step back and ask yourself if it complements your setting. If it looks really odd like a brand new white modern leather couch in a country room filled with wooden roosters, well then it's probably not the right piece of art for that room. |
