Choosing Large Format Art for an East Bay Office

A large painting does a lot of work in an office. It sets the mood for a lobby, anchors a conference room and gives a long hallway somewhere to rest the eye. Choosing the right piece starts with a few plain questions.

Start with the wall. Measure the width and the height, then leave breathing room on every side. A large format piece usually reads best when it fills about half to two thirds of the wall width above furniture.

Think about color. Bold, bright color brings energy to open workspaces and entry areas. Quieter earth tones suit hospitality and wellness spaces. My 2027 works in progress are all earth tones, muted and soothing, made with those spaces in mind.

Look at the light. Daylight changes a textured surface through the day. Cold wax and plaster layers catch light differently from different angles, so view a painting in the room if you can.

Plan the delivery. I offer local delivery in the East Bay and same day courier across California. Every painting arrives gallery wrapped and ready to hang.
