Starting an art collection can feel both exciting and overwhelming. With so many artists, styles, and price points, knowing where to begin is often the hardest part. The good news? Collecting art doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be one of the most rewarding ways to bring creativity, beauty, and even long-term value into your life.

When designing a commercial space — whether it’s a hotel lobby, an office, or a retail concept — every detail contributes to the overall atmosphere. Lighting, furniture, and finishes are often prioritized, but one element that truly defines the character of a space is art.

Whether you're a "build the room around the masterpiece" designer or a "find-the-perfect-accent" stylist, the magic lies in how the art makes the space feel. Art isn’t just décor—it’s soul, personality, and expression.

So ask yourself:
Do I want the art to fit in… or stand out?
Your answer is your direction.

When you collect original work, you’re backing more than just paint and canvas. You’re supporting a story, a voice, a creative life. And when that artist happens to be a woman? You’re also tipping the scales of a historically one-sided art world. Sounds dramatic? It is — in the best way.

We all want our spaces to feel intentional— but too often, art becomes an afterthought…

It all begins with an idea - Interview with US based Interior Designer Klara Dewberry.
