Conference rooms might not be the most glamorous parts of your business, but they are important places for meetings, presentations, and decision-making. The ambiance and design of a conference room can have a significant impact on productivity, creativity, and professionalism. One way to improve the atmosphere is by carefully selecting, framing, and displaying art in conference rooms. The right art can create a welcoming environment that encourages focus and effective communication. How can you make the right choice?
Think About Purpose
When selecting art in conference rooms, it’s important to choose pieces that align with the purpose of the space. For example, a creative agency that wants to have a conference room that encourages innovation and out-of-the-box thinking might want to incorporate abstract artwork with bold colors. On the other hand, a law firm primarily using a conference room for presentations and client meetings may want neutral pieces that create a sense of calm and focus. Whether you choose landscapes, abstract art, or photography, the art should enhance the room’s atmosphere and leave a positive impression on visitors.
Consider the Size and Layout of the Room
Conference rooms are functional spaces, so the art in conference rooms needs to take that into account. Larger rooms with plenty of wall space can easily accommodate bold or oversized pieces that make a big statement. However, smaller rooms are better suited to smaller pieces. Remember that conference rooms also need to be able to accommodate multiple people (both seated and standing), tables, whiteboards, and more. If you have a coffee station or any other furniture in the room, you should also consider where artwork can be placed in relation to it.
Display Art at the Right Height
Proper placement of artwork in a conference room is key to ensuring that the pieces have your intended impact. The general rule of thumb for hanging art is to center the piece at eye level, typically 60 inches from the floor. However, in a conference room where people are seated, you may need to adjust the height slightly so that the artwork is easily visible to everyone in the room. Working with professionals is one way to ensure that artwork is hung at the right height, spaced evenly, and in proper alignment with other pieces in the room.
