“Art should be created for life, not for the museum.” Jean Nouvel French Architect

Art should be created for life and interior design is everyday art

Interior design as everyday art

I'm always trying to create rooms that are everyday art. That's why I love this quote by French architect, Jean Nouvel.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good museum. I even wrote a blog about it: Find Inspiration at your local art museum.

But, why should only enjoy elevated design when you visit a museum or a luxury hotel? Let's enjoy beautiful, artful spaces every day - when we wake up, when we cook our dinner, and when we sit down to read a book. If you're looking for a designer to create everyday art in your home, book a free design consultation. “Art should be created for life, not for the museum.” Jean Nouvel French Architect
