Artwork - Don't forget the texture

It is an obvious statement but artwork hung in an office or home will dramatically enhance the look, mood and feel of the room its in. The colors, the texture and the type of artwork will all have a great effect to an otherwise plain wall.

A number of different factors will affect the artwork that you choose and each has a bearing on the final effect that the painting or picture gives to any room or office place.

You can change the look of a room by the colour of your artwork in the way that a warm orange or red feature will warm up a room that is otherwise dull and dark. You can also use the size of your artwork to set the tone of your room with a few small pictures or a large imposing centre piece to take the room over. One element sometimes over looked is the texture of a painting where an oil or acrylic painting can be very textured and imposing on a wall and give a room some real character.Texturing artwork is done by layering paint on canvas or some artists will use a painting knife to give a canvas real depth and body, which can give it a striking effect.

Once you have selected the painting and it has arrived, make sure you light the painting in the right way. The use of uplighters or down lighters will give the texture an added dimension by creating shadows and enhancing the look.

In conclusion, don't forget about using the texture of a painting to create the desired feel and mood you are looking for and making a dull room as dramatic as you wish.
