How do I choose the art that is right for my home?
Starting an art collection can seem intimidating. But you do not need to be wealthy or educated in art history. Bringing beautiful art into your home is for anyone who wants to surround themselves with one-of-a-kind creativity that brings joy into their home and everyday life.
STEP 1: Set a realistic budget. Decide what you can comfortably spend. Maybe it’s $150 or $3000. Setting a budget removes the anxiety of falling in love with something you can’t afford. A budget also helps us point you toward appropriate options. We have many works that have not yet made it up on our website, so when we know what you are looking for we can help find the perfect fit.
STEP 2: Define your taste: You don’t need a degree in art history to know what makes you feel good. Instead, just pay attention to what you are drawn to naturally. Kim Saltiel is knows for her uplifting depictions of nature that leave viewers feeling inspired and joyous. Her paintings “speak life” into the rooms where they are hung.
STEP 3: Understand what you are paying for: Local and emerging artists typically price work lower than established artists. When you buy dirrectly from artists, you’re getting in early, financially and in terns of supporting their practice. Larger works command higher prices than smaller ones and custom framing will typically add an additional 30-40%. Oil paintings generally cost more than watercolors or drawings due to the higher material costs and greater time investment.
At Kim Saltiel Art, we value transparency in pricing. If you are curious why one piece costs more than another that looks similar, please contact us! We are more than happy to walk you through the reasoning and help you find what you want. We will help you navigate the entire process, from selection to purchase and display.
