Deciding what artwork you want for the workplace can sometimes be difficult, as art can communicate key brand messaging. One key idea to consider is what impression you want your workplace to show. For example, you might want to have artwork which displays the unique elements of the organisation. This can highlight to employees and other corporates that you are forward thinking.

One idea is also choosing contemporary pieces by emerging artists, which means you not only will be supporting an up-and-coming artist, but you will be able to stick to a budget. It can also highlight the originality of the organisation as the artwork might be something that not everyone has seen before.

Creating the right environment for your work colleagues means a workplace which can inspire good work ethic and creativity. The University of Exeter’s School of Psychology reported that employees who are able to control their layout and design in their work environments are happier and healthier whilst being 32% more productive. So, when choosing your artwork, make sure to ask your co-workers what art they would like to see on the walls of their office and what they believe would be the best fit.

Don’t be afraid of stepping outside the box by incorporating a sculpture into your office space. They can work well in main entrances and smaller spaces as they add interest and texture. Sometimes office spaces can appear extremely modern, which can make the place feel flat, so a well-balanced sculpture can add an interesting value to the space and lift the atmosphere.
