Interior design at its core is a work of art. From selecting the perfect furniture from our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks, to choosing the right accent pieces, and selecting your paint color, all of these elements work to create a cohesive work of art in your home. Speaking of artwork, adding fine art to your home is an interior design stable. If you don't currently have any fine art pieces in your home, you should consider adding a few visually stunning pieces throughout your home. If you are uncertain why fine art is so important in your interior design, John Elliott Interiors would like to share with you how fine art can make a big impact in your home.

1) Add Texture and Depth

If you want your home to pop, texture is a vital part in the design of your home. When you add a piece of fine art at the Lake of the Ozarks, your space will begin to appear larger and add a unique and interesting look in your home. Vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. add texture to your home which in turn add depth to your space. All of this works together to create an inviting space that feels elegant, comfortable, and makes your home feel larger.

2) Add Color 

If your home is full of neutrals adding a colorful piece of artwork is a great way to add a focal point to any room of your home and diversify your space. Below is a gorgeous wall art we completed that not only adds color but also creates a focal point in the room. If you look closely you will see that we added a mirror to create an extraordinary optical illusion that adds depth to the room.

3) Go Bold 

Fine art is an excellent strategy to go bold in your home. If you have a room in your home that is in need of something interesting, adding fine art is a great way to achieve this. You can go with artwork that expresses emotion, displays scenery you are fond of, or go with something more abstract. No matter what you choose, just go with something that expresses your personality and compliments the design of your home.

4) Allow the Artwork to Create a Color Scheme 

If you aren't particularly great at choosing colors that go well together, picking out a piece of artwork that you like can inspire your color scheme. Artists know what colors work together and what colors don't and when they create artwork they will use their professional skillsets to hand pick a color scheme that works. After you choose your work of art, consider adding a few accent pieces like throw pillows, rugs, furniture accents, etc. that are the same colors as the piece of artwork you picked out.

Art is a major component of interior design and adding fine art to your home is a great way to pull your room together and enhance your interior design. Keeping the ideas above in mind will greatly help you make decisions about the types of fine art you want to include in your interior design.
