How to Choose Art for Your Home
Share
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
**— Maya Angelou
Every Home Has a Story. Every Painting Finds Its Place.
There is one question I always ask before choosing a painting.
Not...
How big is the wall?
Not...
What colour is the sofa?
But something much more important.
Who lives in this home?
Is it someone who spends long days at work?
Someone who dreams of quiet evenings?
Someone who needs hope?
Someone who needs energy?
Or perhaps...
someone who simply needs a friend.
Only then do I look at the room.
Because sometimes a room does not need another object.
It needs a feeling.
Only then can we say...
the room is waiting.
A Return
I have always believed that paintings choose their homes.
Not because they match the colours.
But because they understand the people living there.
Some paintings bring silence.
Some bring courage.
Some bring light.
Some simply remind us to breathe.
The right painting never fills an empty wall.
It quietly fills an empty space inside us.
Perhaps the home doesn't need another decoration.
Perhaps it simply needs a friend.
