Art plays a big role in shaping the atmosphere of your business and the first impression that your property makes. Whether you’re hoping to give your multifamily property residents something to look at while they wait for the elevator or to reinforce your retail store’s brand identity, the right art collection will make a difference. The Chessler Company specializes in art selection and custom framing, and we can help you through every step of the art curation process.
Understand Your Space
Before selecting any artwork to add to your art collection, it’s crucial to understand the space that you are working with. What should you consider?
- Space: Measure the walls where art will be displayed so that you know how much space you have to work with. Large spaces or rooms with high ceilings can accommodate big, bold pieces, while smaller areas might benefit from more modest works or collections of smaller artwork.
- Lighting: Natural and artificial lighting can affect how art is perceived. Think about what type of lighting is available before choosing pieces to add to your art collection so that you can highlight the pieces without causing glare.
Choose Diverse Pieces
A diverse art collection can make your business feel more engaging and visually appealing. When thinking about diversity, think about:
- Different Mediums: Mix paintings, photographs, sculptures, and mixed-media works to create more interest and stop things from feeling the same.
- Various Styles: Consider artwork in a range of styles, from bold abstract pieces to nature photography, to cater to different tastes and represent your brand identity.
- Local Artists: Supporting community members and local artists helps show that you care about the community and gives your art collection a more unique feel.
Think About Your Message
As we recently covered in another blog, art has the power to influence emotions and how visitors to your property feel. Choose pieces for your art collection that align with your business’s overall goals. We can help you through a broad range of options to determine which are best for your art collection.
- Calm and Relaxing: For spaces like waiting rooms or doctor’s offices, opt for soothing landscapes or abstract pieces that feature cool tones like blue and green.
- Energetic and Inspiring: In creative workspaces or break rooms, vibrant, dynamic art can help promote creativity and high energy.
- Professional and Timeless: For boardrooms and offices, sophisticated and classic art can foster a sense of professionalism and trust.
