A well-chosen colourful piece of art offers infinite possibilities for an interior palette. Discover how let art guide the colour choices for your home
Let art be your guiding force when it comes to choosing colour
Choosing art is an intensely personal experience – and what matters most is that you really love what you buy.
When considering a new art purchase, it’s worth remembering a piece can offer myriad of possibilities for updating a tired colour scheme and can suggest interesting ideas for usual contrasts.
If you’re uncertain about how a piece might look negotiate with the dealer to buy on spec. What this means is that you pay for it and take it home, but if you feel it doesn’t work you are able to return it with out any problems.
For the best ways on how to let art be your guiding force, check out our gallery of inspired images.
