I I work as an Art Consultant, helping my clients put entire art collections together. A lot of my projects are either traditional or eclectic styles, and my clients are often concerned with how a contemporary piece of art will fit in their traditional interiors. Regarding art, this my philosophy: “If you love it buy it! I will find a way to integrate it into your home”. The most important thing in these cases is to create a harmonious dialogue between the old and the new. First you address scale, you want to make sure that the existing furniture serves as an “anchor” for the new piece, you don’t want your new painting or sculpture to overwhelm its surroundings. The next thing to keep in mind is the palette of the new piece; try to find some color association, unless you want the new piece to completely stand out (which is a fair objective, I must say). Finally, if the new piece of art isn’t abstract, make sure the subject is suitable to the room, you might not want to wake up to the view of a still life of vegetables every morning. I used all these guidelines when putting together the interior space you see in this picture.
