Excellent that you’re asking this 👍 — because in luxury interiors, the soul of the home often comes from curated art, sculptures, and bespoke décor, not just furniture and finishes. Many top-tier designers in Delhi NCR now act as curators as much as interior designers.
✅ How Designers Curate Exclusive Art & Décor
🔹 1. Art Curation
- Tie-ups with galleries & artists for original artworks.
- DAG, Art Alive, Nature Morte, Saffronart (Delhi).
- International artists via collaborations.
- Commissioning custom paintings/murals based on your story or lifestyle.
🔹 2. Sculptures & Installations
- Statement pieces in bronze, marble, wood, or metal.
- Entry foyers, double-height spaces, garden corners.
- Collaborations with Indian artisans & international studios (Klove Studio, Arttd’inox).
🔹 3. Bespoke Décor & Styling
- Custom chandeliers & lights (Klove Studio, Moooi, Artemide).
- Luxury rugs (Jaipur Rugs, Obeetee, The Rug Republic).
- Bespoke mirrors, bar counters, accent furniture.
- Limited-edition vases, cushions, objets d’art from Good Earth, Cottons & Satins, Lladro.
🔹 4. Integration Into Design Story
- Décor isn’t added at the end → it’s woven into the concept narrative.
- Example: If the concept is “Modern Royalty” → curated art with heritage influences, brass-inlaid furniture, silk rugs.
💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer
- Do you curate exclusive art & sculptures for clients?
- Do you work with local galleries/artisans or international curators?
- Can you commission custom artworks or installations?
- Do you include bespoke décor sourcing & styling in your scope?
- Is there a separate budget for art & décor, or is it part of interiors?
⚠️ Red Flags
- Designer says: “We’ll add some décor at the end” 🚩 → that means generic online buys.
- Only uses mass-produced prints or standard showpiece décor.
- No relationship with galleries, artisans, or luxury décor brands.
✅ Pro Tip
- Keep aside 5–10% of your luxury interior budget just for art & décor.
- Invest in 1–2 statement pieces (painting, sculpture, chandelier) → they anchor the whole design.
- Mix exclusive bespoke items with curated smaller décor for balance.
