Buying Art To Make Your House A Home

When you buy art for you, listen to yourself and not

an outside person. Many people for whatever reason

get into the habit of consulting experts. When it

comes to taxes I wholeheartedly agree. When it comes to

legal advice and contracts, I don't think you should do

anything without a lawyer. When it comes to decorating

your house, let the decorator take care of the colors,

upholster the sofa whatever, but when it comes to touching

your artwork hands-off! Your art helps make your house a

home and more importantly it should be art which touches

your soul. Should the art you choose not be quite in line

with the colors of your home, my advice is change the

colors of your home.

By no means should you in one fell swoop go out and

buy an entire houseful of art. That's a positively good

way to have all your art go into storage. Buy artwork

you really feel; don't buy it because it's the right color for

your sofa, or it fits into an empty horizontal space on your

wall.

People often ask about having an artist commissioned

to paint a mural in their home. If you already know you like

the artist's work chances are you will absolutely love what

they create for you. But if you go on to sell your house

taking it with you may prove impossible. An option to

this tragic loss is to have the artist work on a giant over-

sized canvas, huge enough so it completely covers the

wall. This way should you move it's an investment you get

to keep.
