When we display works of art around the house, in an organized and natural way, we can convey sophistication and elegance . The spaces take on the refined appearance of a luxury property .
However, it is important to avoid falling into exaggerations. When they are mismatched, in style, size or quantity, pieces of art can contribute to a decor that looks less than harmonious.
Therefore, it is important to maintain a decorative balance in these types of elements. The line between good taste and exaggeration is fine.
In this article, we give you some ideas on how you can use pieces of art in decoration and transform your home into a luxury property.
How to choose the best pieces of art for luxury properties
Art is, as they say, subjective. There is no specific type of art piece that can be considered more or less appropriate to have in a luxury property .
The essential thing is to have good taste and harmony between the elements used to decorate the house . These are some examples of works of art that you can use to add a touch of refinement to spaces and create an environment worthy of a luxury property:
- Pictures;
- Sculptures;
- Screen printing;
- Photographs;
- Engravings;
- Embroidery;
- Tapestries.
These, or any other artistic objects, may be appropriate. However, you should choose pieces of art that have meaning or have historical value.
Avoid exaggerating the number of pieces displayed and their dimensions if the areas are not very large. To create an environment typical of a luxury property, the secret is in balance.
Choose elements that inspire tranquility, or display pieces of art that provoke more intense emotions. It all depends on your personal style and the environment you want to create.
Use art pieces to bring harmony to spaces
A common mistake is to display works of great impact and dimension in small spaces and vice versa. Consistency in these aspects is a fundamental point in maintaining balance and harmony in the pieces of art chosen for a luxury property.
Always take into account the size of each room to avoid creating a disproportion. Also coordinate the colors present in the space with the works of art.
