When people plan to buy art online, it is not just wall painting or sculpture and other handicrafts that they are referring to. Most of the time, people buy art for decorative purposes and for collections. And this so- called art covers a wide range of items nowadays. This can be furniture to home display, to wardrobe accessories and even appliances nowadays are made to be home displays already.
Home displays years ago are what we see inside our grandma’s display cabinet. This can be figurines brought from shops displaying artworks for sale. Or these can also be gifts given by friends during occasion or celebrations at home. And these can also include a set of collections secured from different places during travel because as we know most of the keepsake or souvenirs are artworks. But nowadays, those little items like figurines are not anymore necessary to beautify our home because the cabinet that was usually used as storage for displays is now made to be a work of art. Just put it somewhere in the living room and rest assured that it will exude class making the view very pleasing to the eye. Add some well-crafted wooden or remarkably upholstered sofa sets and you have a space of luxury already, not to mention that the wall painting you have been keeping for years will make the homeowner look high- maintenance.
What about appliances, nowadays? Are they not called work of art or simply art? Appliance manufacturers do not just care for practical function or energy-saving features but they care so much for aesthetics as well as much as they care for the latest innovation in technology. No matter how efficient these appliances are when the target market are women, they will be be trashed if aesthetics will not be taken into consideration in every technological innovation. Appliances are placed inside the house which means they largely make the interior design of our homes. Therefore, they must serve the purpose of “for display”, too. Check out some latest designs of washing machine. You may want to try Samsung, LG and others for their floral and other print design. Some however are just plain but are colored grayish black. These kinds are hardly placed in the laundry area. Others put an appliance like this in the kitchen or somewhere outdoors which as how it appears is part of the landscape of the front lawn or backyard.
Ladies cannot just take anymore to keep the beauty of modern designed appliances like that of washing machines. This applies to TV sets, too. While before we tend to keep them in cabinet, nowadays, we just place it atop a low TV rack that is Asian art inspired. Who would want to hide a super sleek borderless LCD TV? It comes with different sizes to suit your room. You can even create a mini theatre in the comforts of your home because of the latest super slim design and latest innovation on audio and video.
These only tell us that nowadays, it is not just wall painting, sculpture, handicrafts that can be considered as art!
