1. Introduction
In interior design, incorporating artwork is gaining attention as the "final touch to creating a space." Art is more than just decoration; it has the power to enhance the individuality of a space and enrich the hearts of those who live there. In this article, we will explain the benefits of incorporating art into interior design and easy ways for beginners to get started.
2. The benefits of incorporating art
◯ The impression of the space changes dramatically
Decorating a room with art can completely change the atmosphere of that space. For example, simply hanging a single abstract painting in a nondescript room with only white walls can instantly transform an inorganic space into a modern and sophisticated impression. Conversely, decorating a room with a nature-themed landscape painting or photograph can create a calm and serene space.

This is the power of art to enhance a space. Changing furniture or lighting can be costly and time-consuming, but art can bring about dramatic changes simply by hanging it on the wall.
◯ Become a tool for self-expression
Incorporating art into your interior design is a way to express your personality and tastes. Art is incredibly diverse, and the pieces you choose can convey your sensibilities and values.
For example, if you like minimalist design, you might choose simple line drawings or monochrome pieces. On the other hand, if you like pop art or colorful pieces, you can convey a bright and cheerful atmosphere through them. One of the charms of art is that it allows people who visit your home to feel your "sensibility."
◯ Psychological effects can be obtained
The psychological impact of artworks is also important. Spaces filled with art and design are known to reduce stress and increase happiness. For example, nature-themed artworks can have a relaxing effect, while bright colors can brighten your mood.
Furthermore, works that require interpretation from the viewer, such as contemporary art, can also serve as an opportunity to broaden the scope of everyday thinking, as they spark a dialogue within the viewer.
3. Easy to get started even for beginners! How to incorporate art
Below we have summarized some points that beginners should keep in mind when incorporating art, as well as some easy ways to get started.
Start with a small piece
If you are a beginner, you may feel that it is too difficult to buy expensive paintings or large works right away. In that case, it is better to start with small postcard-sized art or affordable prints.

For example, at art fairs and online markets (such as From Artist, Creema, and minne), you can purchase reasonably priced works by young artists. This way, you can enjoy authentic art while keeping your budget low.
◯ Enhance your charm with frame selection
Not only the artwork itself, but also the frame you choose is important. For example, choosing a simple black frame will make it easy to match with any room and give it a modern impression. On the other hand, choosing an antique-style frame like the one in the photo below will add a classic feel.

The frame is an important element that not only determines the atmosphere of the work but also the overall impression of the room, so take a look at lots of sample examples and choose a frame that you are satisfied with and that you are particular about.
◯ Decide on a theme
If you're not sure what kind of art to choose, we recommend starting by deciding on a theme for each room. Deciding on a theme will make it easier to choose art and create a sense of unity throughout the room.
This is an example of interior coordination for each room.
Living room: This is the place where family and guests gather, so it's a good idea to choose bright, inviting artwork.

◯ Not just for walls! Try your hand at 3D art
We tend to think of art as something that hangs on the wall, but it doesn't have to be that way. Three-dimensional artworks (sculptures, ceramics, etc.) can also be a great way to display them on shelves or windowsills, creating depth and movement in the space.
You can also try placing art directly on the floor, for example by simply leaning a large frame against the floor for a casual yet stylish look.

4. Things to keep in mind when purchasing art
There are also a few things beginners should keep in mind when purchasing art.
Measure the room: Art that's too big can feel overwhelming, and art that's too small can look dull. Measure the size of the walls and shelves where you plan to hang your piece before you buy.
Trust your instincts: Art is something that people either love or hate. Choose something that you truly love, rather than what others think. This is the secret to feeling more satisfied with your space.
Research the artist's background: If you're considering buying a piece, research the artist's background. Knowing the artist's intentions and story will help you appreciate the piece even more.
5. Summary
Incorporating art into your interior can completely transform a space and express the individuality of your room. Even if you are a beginner, you can start with small pieces or print art, and gradually expand your collection, which will help you to truly enjoy art.
Art is not just for "special people." Even a simple room can be transformed into a sophisticated space by adding art.
Why not trust your own sensibilities and try your hand at creating a space that makes the most of art?
