When you select artwork for your home, it should be all about you and your style. There are so many choices when it comes to artwork, how do you make the right selection? When you choose your artwork, you need to select pieces that are unique and special to you. Choose pieces you feel are the best representation of your character and your style. You will also need to keep in mind your home décor style as you purchase pieces.

Artwork is a form of creative expression. It comes in various shapes, sizes and colors. As a luxury home builder in Ocala, we at Luetgert Development know the beautiful impact art can have on the home.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to arranging art pieces in your home. You can place one large piece on a wall or arrange multiple smaller pieces on a wall as a collage. Sculptures are easily repositioned and can be placed anywhere in a room depending on the size. Here are some types of artwork to consider for your home.

Types of Fine Artwork

Painted Originals

Original paintings can be created from five major types of art paint: oils, acrylic, watercolor, gouache and encaustic. Paintings can be commissioned from artists who specialize in working with each type of paint. Artist styles vary, so it’s always best to see artwork samples from the artist prior to ordering a commissioned piece of art.

Fine Art Photography

Fine art photographs are all about visuals that resemble a work of art. Images can range from a breathtaking landscape to a beautiful close-up of a flower and everything in between. Fine art photography is available in many mediums such as various types of papers, canvas and metal prints.

Sculptures

Sculptures are created as original pieces of work or mass produced from a mold. They can be made from various materials such as wood, bronze, clay, glass or marble. And, depending on the artist, sculptures can range from modern, contemporary to traditional styles.

Selecting artwork can help you create a style for your home. It can also enhance a wall or a room with the addition of texture, color and style. You can find inspiration from online sites like artfulhome.com that carries fine art pieces. Working with a home designer can help reduce your options so you are not overwhelmed when faced with multiple design decisions for your home.
