Ideas and solutions for office furniture Office paintings, an essential element to enrich your furniture

The furniture of an office, as well as that of a house does not only pass through the furniture, even the walls want their attention and to beautify them best enough paintings; but which and how to place them inside your office?

How important are the paintings on the walls?

If you are renovating your administrative space or opening new premises, after having designed your reception, the different types of office with different desks you will notice that once the furniture and furnishings are assembled, something will still be missing. The empty walls have never been very attractive and indeed, not leaving reference points to those who look at and who enter that space, will produce more a sense of alienation and disorientation rather than welcome. So the big question that anyone is decorating an administrative room is what pictures to put in the office? We at Gruppo SMAU, with our experience in furnishing offices and shops, could help you make this choice, which although it seems trivial, has a communicative response towards your customers that is not to be underestimated.

Which wall paintings to choose?

The first rule for choosing the right type of picture to be placed on the walls is not to consider this part of the furniture as a single filler. Anything in your office from the desk to the complements, whether it’s an operating, executive, presidential or fully dedicated design office, will communicate something to your client. The executives, which at first will seem secondary, are instead that element that could affect positively or negatively your customer and therefore condition their relationship with your company. There are different types of motivational ones, more suitable for operational offices, to those in which mountain or marine landscapes are portrayed that convey relaxation and peace. Finally there are the reproductions of the most famous works of art or contemporary artists, which are better suited to presidential offices or design. These reproductions should never be excessive in their message, but always convey calm, reasonableness and confidence. For this you can opt for the geometries of Mondrian or for the nocturnal landscapes of Van Gogh.

How to place them in your office?

Let’s now move on to how best to position the paintings in your office. The first step is to understand the dimensions of the walls on which we place our furnishing accessories: If we have at our disposal a large space to use then the best solution is to decorate it with a large picture or a large print that fills the whole wall. Placing many small works on a large wall could be inconvenient as it might give the idea of a museum or an overabundance to the limits of suffocation. We are therefore always very careful to leave some white space on the wall and not to occupy every corner. On a small space, conversely, it will be good to place small pictures that aim to beautify and transmit positive messages to those who watch them. Another tip we want to give you is to consider the height at which to attach your complements. These must not be toppo high, otherwise even those who for a few seconds will be captured by the originality and taste for the picture you have chosen, will have to take uncomfortable positions with their head and will not enjoy the beauty of the work.
