Creating a Unique Space with Functional Art
As you can probably guess, functional art is defined as a piece of art that also performs a function. If your room lacks wall space and/or you have discriminate tastes, finding the perfect wall art can be a daunting task. Incorporating functional art into your space is a good alternative and it is simple to do. Functional art will provide the visual appeal and finishing effects we are looking for in a piece of wall art.
Functional art can be something as simple as cabinet hardware or a ceiling fan pull. Do a search on the internet and you will be amazed with the number of creative, unique and artistic hardware accessories available.
Fabric accents are another good way to add color and visual appeal. You can find throw pillows, drapery panels and shower curtains patterned like famous paintings. You can also have your favorite photos or pictures printed onto fabric, which can be made into throw pillows or other fabric accents. This is a great way to display favorite family photos when you lack space for picture frames.
Lighting is yet another great way to incorporate functional art into your space. There are many lighting sculptures available on the market today. Internationally known artist, Michiel Van Kets, created a line of lighting sculptures inspired by astronomy. His stunning line includes floor and table lamps as well as wall, ceiling, and pendant light sculptures. If youre interested in purchasing light sculptures, Mr. Van Kets collection is available online with a few retailers. Use a shopping directory such as shopping.com or yahoo shopping and enter the artist name to narrow your search.
Almost everything we use can become a functional piece of art. Whether it be something as small as a piece of pottery or as large as furniture, the possibility is there and the possibilities are endless. The next time you need an item, dont just run out to the nearest super store. Spend a little time searching on the internet for something that was created by an artist. Youll end up with a beautiful and unique space you enjoy spending time in.
