Greetings! 

How should artwork be incorporated into the home?

Start with the obvious - what do you love? Look around and see what inspires you. Perhaps contemporary paintings will beckon you - or perhaps sculpture or a mural.  Art allows you to express yourself and transform your space.  Above all, always choose what makes you happy.

Once you've decided on your style, what should you buy? I would recommend visiting a good gallery or meeting with an artist to get some inspiration and tips. As with all design, buy the best you can afford. Resist the urge to go to a mega store and buy a ready made 'collection'.  Working with a reputable gallery will award you with a unique art collection that you will enjoy for years.

Oxford Contractors Tip of the Week

Save money
One simple way to conserve costs without sacrificing functionality or good looks is to combine certain appliances. A cook top and a separate wall oven can cost 15 to 20% more than if you buy a range that includes both.

In Oxford presentation with clients one of our main goals is to give the client choices and cost savings options. Please contact us for any advice or consultations. (robert@oxfordcontractors.com or kollin@oxfordcontractors.com or 713-927-1494)
