Art as Inspiration



Alberto Pinto - Architectural Digest

Having great art in your home is a true luxury. When you make an investment in a piece that speaks to you or makes a statement about your taste and personality, you want it to take center stage in a room. Not only should the art be the center of attention, it should also inspire the envelope. I love how these interiors seem to be inspired by the art. Nothing takes away from the statement.

I love the art in Alberto Pinto's apartment in Rio de Janeiro in the images above.  It speaks so well to the atmosphere of Rio.  All the furniture and architectural details really support the statement the art is making.

I love the color of those silk panels, seemingly inspired by the art.

David Kleinberg - House Beautiful

What a great piece of art this is, in a pool house by David Kleinberg.  The subject matter is so appropriate and the colors from the art are used in the materials and furnishings.  It evokes such a relaxed feel and casual vibe.

Such a great example of art inpsiring the interior envelope.  Nothing takes away from that stunning piece, it only enhances it.

I love the art wall in this space. Everything else is quiet in the room.

Art is a great investment and just gives life to any environment.  It is an important feature in considering the design of an interior.  A good designer can design a room where your statement art can really be appreciated.

    Art is so important in a room and there are many inexpensive ways to get that high end look. I buy a lot of art from local artists and artists ffrom the local schools. What better way to have art that is current. Great Post Carla.

    art..it is a must..
    cannot live without it..
    beautiful ways of showing one collection and I like the idea of it taking center stage as you say and letting the room fall together..
    best,

    Carla, this is my favorite post of yours ever. I love the images you chose - really, LOVE them. My favorite is the last with the art wall, probably because it is something I am working on now in my home. I am passionate about art - good art - and hope to design a house around our art collection one of these days. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Art really is an investment. I love change so much that I have trouble jumping off that cliff and buying a piece knowing how fickle I am. Any suggestions?
