Art as decoration for businessess

Making a difference with regard to your competition is, by definition, a necessity for any business. Especially if your business is public facing, whether it be a hotel, a serviced apartment, a holiday apartment, a rural house, a restaurant, a cafeteria, a bar, an office, a law firm, a consultancy suite, an architect studio or a notary office. In all cases, it is a priority to promote one of the indispensable and fundamental tools to achieving this business objective: decoration. To this end, it’s common for great amounts of money to be invested, but very often something as fundamental as what is hanging on the walls is neglected. The entrepreneur often settles for reproductions or banal posters.

Contrary to what is usually accepted, decoration with original artworks does not generate an enormous expense but only a modest investment that offers great added value and is an attractive differentiating element to current and potential clients. At the same time, it enhances the room and office and contributes to creating a more pleasant working environment among employees.

Let's see why with some examples of design with artworks in different types of businesses:

The distinct look of any place becomes more relevant in those establishments where people go expressly to spend their free time. In restaurants, decoration creates an atmosphere where the customer feels like they are part of the experience of eating, drinking and enjoying the place, usually accompanied by friends, family or colleagues. It is well known that many agreements and businesses are woven in restaurants and coffee shops, and this is why it is essential to create a comfortable atmosphere. For this type of business, the choice is so wide that you can use paintings of any theme and genre as long as they match the style you want the place to have.

Art provides clues about the culture, quality and integrity of a company. So the company should look at how it wants to be perceived by its employees and customers. What will someone think of going into a particular business and seeing photos of New York that are printed in their millions or banal commercial posters related to leadership, group motivation, or teamwork hanging on the walls?

Art increases visual cues. For example, a law firm that engages in international business should choose to reflect this activity and the scope with art. Art is an effective brand tool: an appropriate piece can support the corporate identity of the company, its history, its values ​​and its mission, as well as accentuating the use of space.

In the case of large open and collaborative areas, art is used to break up and define a space. The chosen works are large and are usually placed in a focal point, while in smaller spaces it is advisable to use several pieces of different sizes. As for private areas such as offices that require privacy, a well-chosen work promotes relaxation, helps one to disconnect and distracts the mind when necessary, allowing a person to dedicate a few moments to contemplation and calm.
