Blue Line Art Gallery , Desenio
Eco Conscious Gallery Wall
At the beginning of every project we always ask our clients if they own any particular piece of art or furniture that they want to keep . If they have artwork that they want us to include in the project , we design the room around it to ensure the space flows . In these cases , rather than having art created to match a scheme and blend in , the artwork becomes the starting piece for that particular space .

POSITIONING
Positioning artwork within a space can seem daunting , the word curation is associated with gallery spaces and not at home , and yet , it doesn ’ t have to be such a difficult task . Start by getting a feel for the space , position wall art on the floor next to the wall where it will be displayed for example , and play around with colours , shapes and dynamics . A statement , colourful dramatic piece should be positioned for maximum impact , in entrances , on the biggest wall in a room or at the end of a corridor , stairwell or landing – this will give the piece the wow-factor it deserves . Play around with groups of works : photographs , prints and wall pieces to create a larger picture on a statement wall or floating shelf if lacking space . For maximum effect , position bold graphics , textiles of sculptural shapes in a transitional space – this will create dimension in a space and will sleekly fit with the aesthetic of a room . Avoid hanging pieces too low or high ( unless on purpose ), consider symmetry when hanging and stick to groupings of odd numbers for ornamental pieces – but make it personal , get creative and do you !
