How to choose a painting for an office

Art in an office is not decoration: it is communication. Here's what to consider before choosing.

1. Define the room's function

• Reception: the first impression. Works with presence, colors aligned with the brand.
• Meeting rooms: serene pieces that give character without distracting.
• Work areas: moderate color and energy; art reduces visual fatigue.
• Waiting rooms: contemplative works that make the pause pleasant.

2. The right size

Rule of thumb: the artwork should span two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the wall or furniture it accompanies. A small painting on a large wall gets lost; a huge one in a hallway overwhelms.

3. Color and psychology

Blues and greens calm; earth tones and golds bring warmth and solidity; warm accents energize. Don't look for something that "matches everything": look for something that says something coherent with your brand.

4. Original vs. reproduction

An original artwork conveys authenticity — your clients can tell. It is also unique: no one else will have it in their reception.
