There is no better or more important place to feel in complete harmony than at home. And it is that, beyond being a space to rest and live together, it expresses the personality of its inhabitants in the composition, the colors, the spaces and the pieces that compose it. To help you decorate it, the architect and interior designer Daniela Bustamante shares some tips to choose the works of art for your home. Take note!
It not only serves to combine with a space
Don’t buy a piece just because it matches a space. The function of art IS NOT decorative, but goes much further. There has to be a consonance between what is seen and felt.
Don’t rush the purchase
Don’t rush to fill in the blanks. If you have not decided what to put, it is best not to put anything and wait until you find the ideal piece or object for that space.
break structures
Do not marry symmetry, it is better to dare to break structures and get out of the conventional. Mix techniques, styles, times to create your own composition.
Don’t buy trends
Do not buy decorative objects in trend. It is much more gratifying to build a space with memories over time, with what is collected throughout different stages of life and when contemplating them, they provoke a journey through time.
Be creative
Be creative. A work of art is not necessarily a static painting or photograph. There are many forms of installations that are continually being transformed or to which elements can be added.
connect
Connect with the piece. Art is a powerful tool to generate emotions. Ask yourself what kind of emotions a certain space generates and based on that, choose a piece.
recycle
Give a new look to pieces that you already have at home. Check in the trunk of memories and rescue those works that have an invaluable value to give them a second life. Sometimes something as simple as changing the frame makes all the difference.
save
Save up to buy that special piece. Many times it is much more accessible than you think and the satisfaction, after acquiring it, is worth it.
