1. Why do you need art?
Artwork adds warmth, color, texture and life to your design. It also helps reduce sound and serves as a form of “way-finding” for your clients.
Have you ever gotten off the elevator and because every elevator lobby looks the same, you have no idea what floor you are on?
Artwork sets the tone for your facility and can establish your company’s brand and image. Additionally, adding art is the most affordable way to increase satisfaction for your client as well as patients & residents.

2. “It doesn’t have to match, it just has to ‘go’.”
Artwork does not need to match your décor exactly; in fact, it’s usually more visually appealing if it doesn’t. Artwork adds textural interest, excitement and beneficial contrast.

3. How big should the art be?
If you are selecting artwork for corridors, we suggest artwork you can easily view standing only a few feet away. Sizes between 40”x 30” and 60”x 40” maximum are typical. If the artwork is too large it can be overwhelming and difficult to view from such a close range.
When placing artwork in a senior living facility, remember to avoid selecting artwork that is blurry or disorienting, even if it’s an abstract design. Artwork needs to go at least 6” above any handrail so consider smaller groupings or a series for these areas. The artwork will also direct the viewer down the corridor.
