Tips for Choosing Office Wall Art
- Include your employees: By involving your employees in the process, you make the environment they work in more enjoyable. Not everyone is going to agree but making the effort will be much appreciated.
- Size and space: First figure out the available space you have for the artwork. Then use pieces that complement the space without overwhelming or underwhelming it.
- Budget: Have a clear budget set because this is one project that can easily get out of hand without strict control.
- Colors: Take the colors you already have in your office into consideration. Find the right balance.
- Change it up: If you want to create a new environment every six to 12 months, you can rent the pieces and change them regularly.
- Lighting: Once you spend the money buying or renting the art, make sure it is properly lit so everyone can appreciate it.
- Your Industry: Take the industry you are in into account and select the artwork accordingly.
The space you create in your office tells a story. And everyone from your employees to your clients forms an impression of you and your business based on this space. If you choose the artwork you display carefully, you can control the narrative of your brand as soon as people walk into your office.
