Life&style ChoosingArt
Hallways and walk through areas It’s a good idea to greet peoplewithwarm tones as they enter a home. A hallway is the place to create a dramatic impact, and even a small space can allow for a more adventurous approach. Contemporary art can be wonderful in a traditional setting too, and don’t be afraid of colour. In this hallway, the bold ‘Superman Forever’ print by the pre- eminent comic book artist Alex Ross, works brilliantly, injecting an energising vivid pop of colour. By keeping thewallpaper neutral or vertically designed it allows the painting tomake a real statement without being overshadowed. Children’s bedrooms Children’s rooms allow for lots of creativity and can be a place to break the rules! Keep the art fun and simple, such as one of Peter Smith's 'Impossimal' paintings which are both humourous and endearing. When hanging pictures in a children’s room remember their eye level and don’t hang at an adult height or it will literally go over the child’s head. Or be really enterprising for little ones and hang a favourite painting on the ceiling so they can look at it onwaking and before falling asleep!
