THE FIVE BENEFITS OF ART IN THE HOME

Our homes are an art gallery of our lives. They document the evolution of our days and are a breath of who we are. Art for the home is one of the most enriching ways to express that, and not only connects us with ourselves but with the people around us.

We have always appreciated the different selections of art that grace various homes. In this blog, we discuss five benefits this staple element can have in the home. 

1. MOOD BOOSTER

[porto_blockquote]How you draw is a reflection of how you feel about the world. You’re not capturing it, you’re interpreting it. ― Juliette Aristides[/porto_blockquote]

There is a correlation between art and mental health, with studies showing that it can positively benefit our minds. So for those with a talent in the creative arts, why not adorn your walls with your own work? Painting, photography, sculpture, or any other modalities can be displayed as art for the home. Partaking in creative arts can put us in a meditative state, thus quieting the chaos of the mind. It also establishes a sense of appreciation for your dwelling, strengthening the relationship between yourself and your home.

2. INSPIRES CREATIVITY

[porto_blockquote]A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others. ― Salvador Dali[/porto_blockquote]

Art is a portal for the imagination — it has the ability to transport us to different ideas and emotions while remaining ubiquitous. Selecting pieces that you are intrigued by can perpetuate creative inspiration when viewing them in your space. You may adore the lines of a brushstroke or the contrasts of colours, which can inspire new ways of perceiving the world around you.

3. CONVERSATION STARTER

[porto_blockquote]Drawing is a form of probing. And the first generic impulse to draw derives from the human need to search, to plot points, to place things and to place oneself. ― John Berger[/porto_blockquote]

A benefit of art in the home is its ability to open the lanes of dialogue within us and with each other. If you have exhibited pieces that pique your interest, the chances are it probably interests the people around you too.

Conversations around the subject matter, where you obtained the piece, and features that they like or dislike, are all wonderful opportunities for connecting with those we know well or have just met. Art has the ability to instigate curiosity in our interpersonal relationships, which is one of the many benefits of art.

4. FORM OF EXPRESSION

[porto_blockquote]Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced. ― Leo Tolstoy[/porto_blockquote]

Art is an expression from the artist — each brush stroke forms part of a story. The beauty is that, as humans, we find relativity in crafts beyond language. Art transcends continents and culture, allowing us to have a sense of emotional kinship without saying a word. Suppose you collect a piece of art that resonates with you — whether it be how you feel, the context of the subject, or the aesthetics. By displaying it in your home, you get to feel a part of your internal world represented in your external world.

In turn, this gives an insight to people that visit your home. It translates your emotions into a beauty that can be shared with others.

5. ADDS NUANCE AND INTEREST

[porto_blockquote]As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life. ― John Lubbock[/porto_blockquote]

Art for the home is one of the best ways to create a distinct personality. As there are so many forms of art, you can curate a space that’s uniquely yours. It makes a house feel more lived in, detailing the interests, likes, emotions, and personalities of the people who live inside.

It’s also a great way to support local artists, connecting you further to the wider community. Finding the makers of your area or internationally can be an enjoyable journey and helps you learn about that craft on a granular level.
