I was asked by the editors at Redfin’s blog to contribute to an article about interior design, sharing why I believe art is so important in a space. Here’s what I had to say…
“Without art, your home will always feel like something’s missing! Artwork is also a chance to add something you truly, deeply love to your space. It feels like such a missed opportunity when I see artwork from a big box store in someone’s home: resist the urge, and take your time finding the right thing for your space.
Imagine Lisa Congdon’s living room without art….shudder! ;) My Power Color pieces are up there on the right.
If you’re just getting started with art and you’re a bit intimidated, begin by paying close attention to work that resonates with you. Are you attracted to certain colors? Do you prefer figurative or abstract work? Do the pieces you love feel mysterious and moody or bright and joyful?
Which is your fave: moody & mysterious, like Color Space 3, or…
…bright & joyful, like Glow 1, Bask?
Connecting directly with independent artists through Instagram can be super exciting, creating an even more special connection with the artwork in your space.“
