Finding the Perfect Glass Wall Art for Your Space: A Curator's Guide

"Know thyself.", states Socrates, the ancient famous Greek philosopher.

This concise aphorism, which we mostly skip and do not pause on, encourages deep self-reflection and understanding as foundational elements of wisdom. We all pursue ourselves, although it looks like we are after our objects in our chaotic daily routines! Passing the days against what we indeed are will lead to collapse sooner or later. This is the main reason why we have to look inside first to observe the outside. What more reminisces "us" and "ours" than our caves, our homes?

That is why deciding the ideal match wall art piece for your rooms is not just about reloading an empty wall! It's about assembling an aura, solidifying your soul and standpoint, and voicing your dreams. Yet, it takes work to pick the right (!) ones while there is a plethora of alternatives out there, specifically in ArtDesigna's tremendous galleries!

In this article, our readers will find ways to select excellent matching wall art pieces for their spaces while glimpsing some examples from our premium collections that we recommend. 

Timeless Beauty and Elegance of Glass in Wall Art

Considering its transparency and purity, the concept of glass has always been a unique element in interior design for centuries. It heightens light and space in many practices that other forms cannot. The marriage of glass with wall art is a sublime approach to modernism while preserving its seeds in elegance.

Furthermore, embedding glass into wall art is a discerning choice. A glass surface is more durable, and its maintenance comfort makes it a flawless option for high-traffic areas or spaces prone to humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms. In contrast with other materials that vanish or deteriorate over time, glass maintains its clarity and shine and stays vibrant and impactful for years to come.

The Cornerstone of Artful Cohesion in Your Space

"Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity," says Plato, the foundational thinker in Western philosophy. 

This lodestar also applies to choosing art for your space. Before purchasing glass wall art, one must evaluate the space's characteristics. Your room's dimensions, color, and lighting play a massive role in nailing the fitting choices. For instance, large, airy spaces often function well with spirited, vibrant pieces, while smaller rooms benefit from more modest, more intricate artworks that improve the space without dominating it.

Shaping Ambiance Through Functionality and Mood

Art strives to represent not the outward appearance of things but their inward significance. Simply close your eyes and think about what you want your glass art to achieve. Is it to give some light on a dark corner that is making you down, add a splash of color to attach some charm, or serve as a conversation starter while your guests question if you are a fan of Banksy? 

Smoother, flowing designs with pastel tones can create a calming effect, ideal for bedrooms or study areas, while angular, sharp pieces can boost a living room or office with vitality. 

Mastering the Palette for Perfection 

Have you read our blog post, "Harmonies and Contrasts Beyond the Eye: Our Color Perception"? As the subject article indicates, the right color spectrum is apt to convert any space dramatically. The revolutionizing color theory takes the colors as its core while clarifying the basics with handy tips for selecting the perfect palette for your very own area. Keep in mind that the wall art must be fit for the wall color, the direction of natural light, and existing color schemes in the room, such as items of furniture, electronics, plants, or curtains.

Nowadays, most of us reside in tiny houses in metropolises, and a 45m2 space makes us feel caged. To bypass this unpleasant feeling, a glass wall art piece with translucent and more delicate hues can illuminate a room and make it appear larger than it really is. Using the premium mirror effect of glass art, you can place it against the light source to give it a more profound impact. 

Are you among the blessed minority with an extensive, bright house welcoming sunlight all day? Then, luckily, you are not limited to lighter tones. You can go bold in any color chart with shadier ones, such as dark blue, navy, dark green, deep red, burgundy, dark brown, deep purple, deep russet, black, and charcoal, which might add depth and sophistication to your rooms. Check out our Marble or Rounded Series to find the one following these characteristics. 

Incorporating Artistic Styles

"Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.", Oscar Wilde, the legendary Irish poet and playwright. 

Glass art proposes a wide range of styles, from abstract to metaphorical, from minimalist to elaborate series. The mesmerizing variety of our collections in ArtDesigna presents you with the key to expressing yourself in myriad forms, echoing what Oscar Wilde noted. Your tone not only complements your decoration but also resonates with your zeal. 

Are you into modern art? If so, sleek, sharp, and geometric patterns such as Banksy, Van Gogh, Matisse, Klimt, Picasso, or Monet suit you best. Conversely, consider pieces with organic shapes or floral motifs, like in our Flower series, for a more classic atmosphere. 

Reaching Out to Your Roots

"There are no new places you'll find; you'll catch no other tide. This city will always follow you," says Kavafis, the famous Greek poet.

Are you homesick? Do you feel like you are losing the roots of your nation? Are you counting the days to visit your hometown and the motherlands you intensely belong to? Then, looking for a piece of glass art can be a dialogue with your ancestors. A panorama from a Landscape Collection or scenery of your country's symbol from our World Flags Series can reflect the origins and cultural bonds you have. 

What about a Customized Glass Print of your favorite family photo that will always be with you? It would be a prospect to be closer to home, no matter if you are on the other side of the world, be proud of your roots, and have a warm welcome. This sentiment is absolutely priceless! 

The Importance of Quality and Craftsmanship

Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail. As the synthesis of art and science, high-quality glass art should last a lifetime without losing its beauty or fading over the years. From the materials used to the finish's smoothness and the colors' richness, you must purchase premium artwork with sublime craftsmanship. It also makes a paramount difference in the case you will use it indoors, outdoors, or in spaces with humidity, like bathrooms. Hence, always remember to ask your supplier if the product is durable for these specific areas.

In ArtDesigna, our 4mm tempered glass is sourced from Europe's largest glass producer, while our ink is top-tier Japanese ink and holds a GreenGuard certificate, making it safe for use in schools and healthcare facilities. Further, to achieve the best possible print quality for our customers, we use a UV printing machine, which is considered the finest in the current market. Since we print directly onto the glass using our unique glass printing technique, be sure that every art piece from our galleries will be with you for many more years to come.

Know Yourself and Let Your Walls Define You

All in all, adorning your personal space with matching glass wall art will elevate your peace of mind and feel complete when you step into your home after a prosaic and exhausting day. Consider aesthetics, functionality, and philosophy through a deep understanding of both the space and the self. 

As you browse in our rich galleries of options, remember Michelangelo's advice: "Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." Every piece of glass art holds the potential to transform your space, and it is your task to uncover the right one by listening to the true nature of insight and vibe of your very own sanctuary, sweet home.
