BENNETT LEIFER'S BOLD WAYS
FIVE TIPS for art in the space
Bennett Leifer, Principal of Bennett Leifer Interiors, works from the great city of New York - but his clients come calling from all over the country. We are big fans of Bennett's work and asked him to share some hot tips for art in the Interior Design Space.
1)
MAXIMIZE THE PLACEMENT.
"Bring sunshine into a windowless hallway with bright, large-scale work."
2)
ART IS FOR THE YOUNG, TOO.
"Choose pieces that will grow with your kids. (This is a teenager's room!)."
3)
DON'T OVER THINK IT.
"Art can give a small space, like a guest bedroom, big personality."
4)
MORE IS MORE.
"You don't have to choose between wallpaper and art."
5)
GO BIG.
"Plan a room around one large, bold piece and surround it with neutrals."
