Design Tips

 

While there are many ways one can go about designing a space to feature art,

too often focus is placed on a single "show stopper." When combined properly,

a grouping can have an even more powerful visual impact while adding

dynamic interplay amongst the elements that a solitary piece lacks.

Here are just a few suggestions for your consideration. Above all, keep in mind

that you are designing not to impress but to suit your own space, style, and needs.

Please contact me if I can help you create one of your own.

 

Monochromatic Grouping

• Each piece should feature a distinct color as the dominant hue.  <Example A>

• All pieces in the grouping feature the same color. 

• Use the same mat and frame combinations to concentrate and accentuate the design concept.

• Arrange the grouping in geometric patters.  i.e. diamond, rectangle, triangle, etc

 

       Example A:  Chromatic Grouping

Thematic Grouping

•All pieces in a grouping feature the same theme.   i.e. water, leaves, people

• Vary the grouping by repeating the same image in different color schemes, angles, or styles.  <Example C>

• Present snippets of a single subject with each image contributing to an abstract grouping.  <Example D>

• Use the same mat and frame combinations to concentrate and accentuate the design concept.

• Arrange the grouping in geometric patters.  i.e. diamond, rectangle, triangle, etc

 

      Example C:  Stylistic Grouping
