As designers, we love recommending portrait art to clients who are looking to add a little funkiness to their space. A lot of people, however, aren’t super stoked about the idea of having a celebrity or some random person’s face on their walls. If you’re feeling a bit skeptical about the whole thing, just stick with us. Portrait art is having a huge moment right now and below are a few reasons why you should trust your designer when he or she recommends putting a face up on your walls!
Portraits Of Perfection
A portrait, along with its environment, does such a great job of instantly setting the mood for a space.
Take this Havenly-favorite black and white photograph for example. It makes the space simultaneously classy and fun. The photograph reads sophisticated and a little mysterious, but when you pair it with boho and gold accents, the playful side emerges!
Check out the portrait in this bedroom. He’s a little bit serious, although the designer has added a few pieces around him that don’t read boring. This space feels mature and even just a little bit scholarly, but not overwhelmingly so.
This last piece screams fun and fashionable and adds a lot to the quirkiness of the space. Imagine if there were just a graphic abstract print here. This space would lose the je ne sais quoi that the portrait brings!
So, the next time you’re in the market for art, consider the vibe you want for your space and find a portrait that helps bring it to life!
