Placing Art and Blending Furniture with Paintings
Paintings and works of art are sure to be the ambiance maker in homes and apparently the taste and the way that they are paired for most home owners will certainly make a difference. For most people, this will vary. There is always an artist in all of us. But what differs most people these days is the fact that they need to find the proper art work to go along with the other elements and furniture in a room.
If you happen to be an artist, with limited space, you can really come up with great concepts for any room. Placement and space limitations are challenges for interior designers.
Take for example this couple in Madrid. They had space restrictions but still came up with a good concept for their home.
Most of the furniture and the fixtures were either salvaged from junkyards or scavenged from antique stores. The antique marble pillars, which are from the old quarries of Andalucía, were bought from a dealer who travels the country accumulating and selling his finds, Ms. Williams said. Her husband, she added, “always gets the best possible price.”
Mr. Calabuig served as his own contractor on the renovations, hiring craftsmen from the surrounding areas. His father, a professional woodworker, was responsible for the intricately carved wooden door to the master bedroom.
In designing the spaces, Mr. Calabuig made several concessions for his American wife, including a large kitchen and an en suite bathroom for the master bedroom. “In Spain,” he said, “traditionally people don’t care too much if they have a bathroom in their own room.”
