What is custom art?

What is custom art? Custom art consists of decorative, illustrative or abstract designs that take a variety of forms. Flat work can be painted directly onto the wall or can be mounted art in a variety of media on a paper, canvas or other two dimensional substrate.

Once you have a general idea of what kind of custom art work you would like it is time to schedule your consultation. A design consultant will help you to select art that is an exact fit for your space. Some aspects of the consultation include color matching and placement of art as a focal point or an accent.
