The Beauty of Bespoke

A bespoke statement piece creates art that speaks to you on a deeper level and tells a unique story that encapsulates the past, present and future. It may incorporate elements from the clients’ personal past, is created in the present moment with the clients’ current needs and desires in mind and it is also a reflection of the future as it is created to endure and be passed down for generations to come like it has been done with art.

 

An artwork like any bespoke piece when chosen carefully can elevate your interiors to the next level, bringing a unique sense of exclusivity and beauty. In today’s high-end residential and commercial market, there has been an increase in demand for bespoke statement pieces as clients look for elements they can add to their interiors that are functional, practical and above all, beautiful and timeless. Nonetheless, if you want to create a cohesive and balanced space that showcases your personality and style it is important to consider the following factors:

 

Colour palette

Choosing a cohesive colour palette is essential in accomplishing a harmonious space. Pick colours that complement each other and are in line with the mood you want to create. For instance, warm colours like red, orange and yellow can create a vibrant atmosphere, whereas cool colours like blue, green and purple can create a calming and relaxing atmosphere.

 

 

Art Selection

Art pieces should complement the colour scheme and style of your interiors. Be mindful of the size and scale of the pieces in relation to the room and furniture and also consider the theme of the artwork. A piece that evokes a certain mood can pull the décor of a room together like nothing else and  set the tone with one look.

 

 

Placement of the artwork

Where you place your artwork can have a significant impact on the ambiance of your space. Consider the flow of the room and its focal points when deciding where to hang your art. Aligning pieces with furniture or creating a gallery wall with complementary pieces can create a cohesive look.

 

 

Lighting

Appropriate lighting can enhance the beauty of your art pieces. Make sure that your lighting complements the colours and mood of the room. If you want your artwork to be the focal point of your space then adding accent lighting like track lights or wall-mounted fixtures can be very useful if you want it to stand out.

 

Texture

Including texture in your interiors can also add depth and character. This can be achieved through textiles, décor and even art pieces themselves, in which artists either create a three dimensional aspect to the drawing or they simply create an appearance of texture.

 

 

The beauty of bespoke is that anything is possible, the options are limitless and originality is key when it comes to creating an space, so you just have to let your imagination run wild. Hence why, there has been times when we have been challenged by some of the request of our clients, but our talented team of craftsmen have always met or even surpassed their expectations by putting their abilities and expertise into work. These skills have been passed down from generation to generation and it could be another reason why some clients prefer to invest in bespoke pieces, because like art; every hand-made piece made has its own story which makes them unique and more valuable at heart.

 

Hence why, it is important to guide the clients through the process of designing their ‘masterpiece’ and educate them on which are the best mix & match combinations as there is a wide range of colours, textures, techniques and materials that can be used to custom-make an statement piece come to life.

 

A bespoke statement piece just like art is a celebration of the past, present and future, in which every detail is carefully considered to tell a unique story that encloses the clients’ individuality and history, whilst taking your interiors to the next level.
