The question “Do you want wall art or statement décor pieces?” helps define how much visual personality and focal interest the client wants in the space.
Why it’s important:
- Sets the tone: A large piece of wall art creates a focal point, while statement décor (like a sculptural light fixture or unique furniture) adds character in a different way.
- Influences budget: Original art or oversized décor pieces can be significant investments compared to smaller accessories.
- Guides layout and proportion: Large art needs proper wall space and lighting; statement décor often requires open space to stand out.
- Reflects personal taste: Some clients prefer minimalist walls and bold furniture; others want gallery-style walls with art as the main feature.
Example client answers:
- “I love oversized abstract paintings as the centerpiece.”
- “I’d prefer statement lighting and furniture instead of wall art.”
- “I want both, but in a balanced way.”
- “I like subtle décor, nothing too bold.”
Pro tip: Always ask “Do you already have pieces you want to feature, or should I source them?” — clients sometimes have cherished items that can shape the entire design concept.
