Why buy art?

  Why should you, or anyone , invest in art for your home? It can be expensive and how do you know if you're going to appreciate the painting/ print/ sculpture after a few months? Well here are some points that prevent boredom and reveal why buying art is so worthwhile.

 

• Firstly, you've an interest in bringing a new dimension to your home if you're reading this, so hello, I hope you're well.

• Secondly, are you looking for a slice of daily inspiration? Something to occasionally lose yourself in? Adopting a piece of art into your home is probably your healthiest solution in this situation.

• OK so now we've agreed that you're shopping for art. Do you want bright colours to bring a touch of festival to your home? Need a view that isn't grey buildings? Know what it is that you want to add to your home, art is such a broad term that you'll have to narrow it down with research of artists and your personal taste.

• One trap to avoid is to choose something you believe is neutral and therefore you won't become bored with your choice. Although neutral may be what you want, do not choose something that you can ignore. Bringing art into your home should add to your enjoyment, not fill space. 

• And that is why looking at a piece that challenges you a little is perfect. If you find yourself staring into the colours and movement of the piece you know you've got a best friend for life.

• When you've found that art work/ best friend that reflects your mind and imagination you'll find yourself taking daily inspiration as you notice new details over time that you'd previously missed.You really seem to be enjoying this artwork, nothing else really matters.
