Invest in art: turn your home into an art gallery and enrich your life

To invest in art is to enter a world of emotions, since the link between art and emotion is intrinsic and unquestionable. The main purpose of any artistic expression is to arouse emotions, whether positive or negative. Scientifically speaking, the brain reacts to the stimulus evoked by art through the limbic system, a specific region of the organ that is responsible for controlling emotions and social behavior.

By investing in art and coming into contact with it, human beings experience the world in a more emotional and sensitive way, “sculpting and caressing” the brain. According to science, investing in art not only boosts creativity, but also causes discharges of dopamine and serotonin, hormones responsible for feelings of happiness, pleasure and reward. Therefore, investing in art can give us a lot of pleasure and happiness.

Investing in art and turning your home into an art gallery can be transformative and is a powerful way of enriching not only the environment, but also the lives of those who inhabit it.

Investing in art such as paintings, photography, sculpture and music has a unique ability to transform spaces, elevating interior design to a level of sophistication and personality. By investing in art and introducing carefully selected works of art into interior design projects, we embellish environments, but we also create an atmosphere that resonates with our clients' emotions and experiences.

Investing in art and turning your home into an art gallery is an excellent way of dressing up walls and transforming environments, because at the same time you're making a smart investment. Investing in art is not just adding a complement to the home, art is the soul of the home, creating an emotional connection that makes every moment more meaningful and unique.

Why invest in art?

Why invest in art?

Investing in art to decorate your home is an excellent choice for a number of reasons that go beyond the aesthetic richness that art brings to any environment. The main reasons that, in my opinion, make investing in art a valuable financial investment are:

Art has the ability to increase in value over time, especially if you're investing in art by a recognized artist or an emerging artist with growth potential. Unlike other decorative elements that can lose value or go out of fashion, investing in works of art can become even more valuable over time, making it a solid financial investment.

Investing in art allows the interior designer to create a truly personalized environment, where each piece tells a story and adds emotional depth to the space. If you want a home with personality, you must invest in art to achieve a more authentic and original environment.

The presence of works of art raises the aesthetic quality of any interior design project. Whether it's an abstract painting, a modern sculpture or an artistic photograph, investing in art enriches and adds sophistication to interior decoration. What's more, investing in art should involve a careful choice of art pieces that can harmonize the design of the room, complementing colors, textures and styles.

Investing in art and having works of art in the home can stimulate creativity and emotional well-being. For this reason, in the interior design projects we develop, we try to get our clients to invest in art, not least because proven studies indicate that the presence of art contributes to an inspiring atmosphere, positively stimulates the mental state of the inhabitants and promotes relaxation.

Works of art are extremely versatile and can be used to fill empty spaces, bring color to a neutral palette or even create bold contrasts in a minimalist environment. Investing in art, and placing pieces of art in the interior design projects we carry out, is therefore essential because art can completely transform a space, offering countless possibilities for combining it with furniture, fabrics and decorative accessories.

Investing in pieces of art, especially by local or emerging artists, is a way of supporting culture and sustainability. Art is often produced by hand using high-quality materials, which contributes to the durability of the pieces, and investing in art contributes to a positive impact on the environment.

Art, in its many manifestations, is a powerful agent of transformation, capable of transcending mere interior design and becoming a profound link between physical space and human emotions. By investing in art and placing works of art in spaces, we not only fill and decorate the walls, we reconfigure the atmosphere, providing a unique sensory experience that can influence the well-being and perception of a space.

Investing in art is not just an aesthetic choice; it's a statement about who we are and how we want to live. Investing in art not only enriches spaces, but also invests in the experiences, emotions and lasting heritage that are so important in interior design projects. You should never underestimate the power of art and the power of investing in art because it elevates the home and the lives of its inhabitants in unimaginable ways. That's why I believe that investing in art is an asset for those who value rich, aesthetically pleasing interiors.

Art is a vital force in transforming the spaces we live in. Artistic pieces in a room can significantly change the way we feel about the space, so investing in art can often have a specific intention. Vibrant colors can energize a room, while soft tones promote tranquility.

Although I often choose to invest in works of art in accordance with the color palette and theme of the decoration project in order to create a visual dialogue that harmonizes all the elements in the room, I also like to invest in works of art to be arranged in a way that seems random, as this arrangement is also enriching and has brutal transformative power. Investing in art and placing pieces of art in a space can have many different functions or forms. For example, we can invest in art to use a particular piece as a focal point: a large-scale painting or an imposing sculpture can act as the focal point of a space, guiding the eye and defining the room's narrative.

Or we could, for example, aim to invest in art of various textures to add a tactile dimension that enriches the sensory experience of the space. Studies have shown that the presence of art in environments can have a positive impact on mental and emotional health. So investing in art, as well as beautifying, can induce states of calm, reduce stress, increase creativity and reflection. What's not to like about investing in art?

How to start your art collection

Starting an art collection and thinking about investing in art is a fascinating and personal purpose, which not only allows you to acquire pieces whose aesthetics identify with your personality, but is also a task that cultivates a connection with the artistic world. To take the first steps in this journey of investing in art, it's important to have some guidelines that can help you build a meaningful and enriching collection.

In order to invest in art and become a connoisseur, it is important to dedicate time to researching and understanding the different styles, techniques and artists. Visiting galleries, museums and art fairs is a great way to become knowledgeable so that you can invest in meaningful art. Knowledge is fundamental to investing in art wisely and meaningfully. Sometimes you can even discover new emerging talents who are not yet on the mainstream circuit and realize their talent. This is a sign of some knowledge and the will to invest in art.

Art can vary widely in price, and when investing in art becomes a very recurring practice it is crucial to establish a budget that you are willing to spend. In this case, it's important to consider that works by established artists may be expensive, but they also offer greater potential for appreciation, which also makes investing in art more profitable. Whereas emerging artists often offer works at more affordable prices, allowing you to start a collection and invest in valuable art without compromising your finances.

Art Collection

Preparing the space for the collection

It's important to think about how you want to display your works when investing in art. The space for the collection can have an impact on how the pieces are perceived, so you should always consider certain factors. Even when displaying works of art in our homes, these are the aspects to think about when putting artwork on the walls.

Adequate lighting

When you want to invest in art, it's important to think that the pieces should be placed in the space in an appropriate way and, for this, good lighting is essential to highlight the colors and textures of the works, creating a pleasant atmosphere. When investing in art, you should also invest in specific decorative lighting to highlight the pieces.

Harmony with the environment

As a matter of principle, collectors should invest in art and pieces that dialogue with the style and color palette of the space in which they will be displayed. Harmony has to be understood as a dialogue because in some cases I like to see pieces of art contrasting with the environment, for example in the binomial classic decoration with very contemporary pieces of art or vice versa, but even in these cases it is important not to be out of step with a certain aesthetic.

Space

When investing in art, you should take into account the size and positioning of the piece, the space where it is placed and the distance from which it can be seen and appreciated.

Mixing styles

When investing in art, you shouldn't be afraid to combine different styles, such as contemporary art with classical pieces. But you can also invest in art that only focuses on one style or era.

Color palette

Iinteriors should be coherent and for this the colors of the walls and furniture should be in keeping with the works of art. When investing in art, you should consider whether the paintings complement or contrast harmoniously.

Keeping a record

Investing in art in the case of a private collection is a long and slow road, which is why it is interesting and advisable to keep a detailed record of each piece, including information about the artist, the technique used and the date of acquisition. This not only makes it easier to manage the collection, but also enriches the narrative that is built up over time when investing in art for the collection.

Participate in the art community

Getting involved with the local art community can be a rewarding experience. Participating in exhibitions, fairs and collectors' meetings are advisable practices for anyone who wants to invest in art. Not only does it broaden our network, but it also offers new perspectives on the art world.
