Framing the focal point The frame is really important. It should reflect the style of the room as well as working with the art it houses. It could be in vogue like these bobbin shaped frames, classic, reeded or a contemporary box frame.
Subject Matter This must reflect the client’s taste. Sometimes the element of surprise is so effective – a contemporary piece of artwork can be so effective in a classic situation.
The common mistake is to hang the artwork too high. Art should be at eye level. But then that depends how tall you are! Above all buying art should be fun. It’s a bit like choosing a car or a piece of jewellery. It reflects the clients personality, and should be something that will give them pleasure every time they see it.
In the coming weeks I will be discussing where to buy quality art, featuring my favourite artists and galleries.
