How to Incorporate Color into Your Home
Incorporating color into your home can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to a neutral palette. Start by choosing a piece of art that resonates with you—something that brings joy, calm, or inspiration. Use the colors in the artwork as a guide to introduce similar tones throughout your space. This can be done through accent pillows, rugs, or even small decorative items. Don’t be afraid to mix and match; color harmony is often found in contrast. The key is to start small and gradually build up your confidence in adding more vibrant touches.
What is an Original vs. Print?
An Original is a one-of-a-kind artwork created by the artist, often with unique textures, brushstrokes, and color depth that cannot be replicated. Owning an original piece means having a unique work of art that brings an authentic, personal touch to your space. Originals are varnish protected and they have different finishes (ex: matte vs satin).
A Print, on the other hand, is a high-quality reproduction of an original artwork. While it captures the vibrancy and detail of the original, it’s produced in multiple copies, making it more accessible in terms of price. Prints are perfect for those who love the art but may not be ready to invest in an original piece.
What is an Archival Print?
Being "archival" means that the print is made to endure over time, provided it is cared for and stored properly. These prints are good for 100-200 years.
It's important to recognize that anything related to printing must be kept or displayed in a way that maintains its quality.
How to Care for Your Original
Caring for your original artwork is essential to preserve its beauty and longevity. Here are a few tips:
- Keep it Out of Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Hang your artwork in a spot where it’s protected from harsh light.
- Maintain a Stable Environment: Avoid placing your artwork in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature changes, such as bathrooms or near heating vents. These conditions can damage the materials over time.
- Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently dust your artwork. Avoid using any cleaning products, as they can damage the paint and finish.
- Frame It: Consider framing your artwork under UV-protective glass to shield it from dust, humidity, and light exposure, helping to keep it looking vibrant for years to come.
