What would we do without art? The world would certainly be a far sadder place without the colour, vibrancy, and life art brings to our day.
We’re firm believers that everyone should buy art for their home.

Here are 5 reasons you should consider purchasing fine art to liven up your home and living space.

It’s aesthetically pleasing

This is probably the most obvious reason as to why people buy art. What could be a simpler reason than ‘I liked it’ for purchasing a stunning piece of artwork? Fine art, however, is far more visually pleasing than a store-bought, mass-produced print. Even the most amateur of art connoisseurs can tell the difference between an original creation and a store-bought piece.

Original fine art has the power of adding prestige to any room. Anyone can look at it and see the fine brush strokes or handiwork and appreciate the time and effort that went into creating it.

It can add depth to the room

Fine art will pop off the wall adding so much depth and character to the space.
Additionally, sculptures, ceramics, and other 3D artworks will also add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to your home.

The perfect piece of artwork will capture the eye the moment a person steps foot in the room.

It’s a conversation starter

“Where did you get that gorgeous painting?!”

The boring answer would be “Oh that. I got that from Ikea,”. However, when you buy original fine art, it usually comes with a story. You may get to know the artist, hear the story behind the work, and get a better understanding of the artist’s attitudes and feelings toward the piece.

Usually, when people buy art, it’s because the piece has leapt out at them. They’ve felt something deeply about the piece and at that moment they’ve decided they must have it. This always leads to an amazing story to tell people when they ask about your artwork.

It can be an investment

You never know where the attention of the art world will go next. It’s always a thrill to think that perhaps ten years down the track, that piece of art you purchased will have doubled in value.

However, not all art will be worth a lot someday. What’s more important than dollar value is sentimental value. When you love a piece of art with all your heart, chances are you won’t want to sell it. Instead, an original piece of fine art can stay within a family for generations.

The longer it’s cherished by the family, the more valuable it becomes to the family.

You’re supporting artists!

A lot of people shy away from the expensive price tag attached to fine art. However, you’re not just paying for something to hang on your wall. You’re paying for the materials (often expensive paints, canvases, and frames) used to create the work. You’re paying for the artists time spent creating this specific work and the time they’ve spent over however many years cultivating their talents. Finally, you’re paying for them to continue creating art and making the world a brighter place.

In the wise words of Thomas Merton “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time,”.
