Why Every Room Needs a Statement Piece (And How Art Can Be Yours)
We’ve all seen rooms that feel... unfinished. Maybe the furniture is practical and the colors are nice, but something’s missing. The space doesn’t tell a story. It doesn’t reflect a personality. That’s where the statement piece comes in.
Whether it’s a bold painting, a sculptural lamp, or a textured wall hanging, a statement piece is more than just decor; it’s the heartbeat of a room.
At Bl{art}, I believe that art can (and should) be that heartbeat.
What Is a Statement Piece?
A statement piece is a focal point, something that catches your eye the moment you enter a room. It’s the visual anchor that sets the tone for everything else. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive. It just has to say something. It has to feel like you.
In my own home, even with limited vision, I’ve always been drawn to bold, expressive objects. That’s because statement pieces don’t need to be detailed—they need to be impactful. That’s what I try to create through my art.
Why Statement Pieces Matter
Here’s why every space—from cozy apartments to full homes—needs one:
1. They Add Personality
A room filled with neutral tones can feel elegant—but also bland. A statement piece adds contrast, color, and energy. It's where you enter the room. Whether it's abstract art or vibrant textures, a bold visual element adds soul to your space.
2. They Start Conversations
Art sparks curiosity. Guests often ask me, “What does this piece mean?” or “Where did you get that?” A statement piece opens the door to stories—whether it’s the story of the artist (hi 👋), your personal style, or a cause like CNIB that matters to you.
3. They Define the Room
Interior designers often start with a statement piece and build the rest of the room around it. Why? Because it gives direction. If you feel lost about styling a space, let one powerful artwork lead the way.
4. They Reflect Your Values
When you choose art that supports a cause, like the 10% I donate to CNIB, you're not just decorating. You're saying, “I believe in something.” Art has meaning, and when you buy from Bl{art}, you bring that meaning into your home.
Why Art Makes the Best Statement Piece
Of all the options—rugs, lights, furniture, and artwork—artwork is the most personal. Here’s why:
-
It’s portable, so you can take it with you when you move.
-
It’s unique, especially my one-of-a-kind monotype prints.
-
It speaks to both sighted and non-sighted people. My art is created with bold color contrast and tactile flow to engage everyone.
-
It’s supporting something bigger. When you buy art from a disabled or low-vision artist, you’re helping shift what creativity looks like.
Choosing the Right Statement Piece
Looking to bring one into your home? Here are my top tips:
1. Go With Your Gut
You don’t need to be an art expert to choose what you love. If something draws you in or makes you feel something—go with it.
2. Think About Scale
Big walls? Go bold. Smaller space? A strong piece in a clean frame does the trick. You want your statement piece to stand out, not get lost.
3. Consider Contrast
My art often uses high contrast and vivid shapes because that’s how I see the world. That also happens to make a great statement. Look for pieces that pop against your wall color or furniture.
4. Choose Meaning
Many of my collectors tell me they’re drawn to the emotion in my work. A statement piece doesn’t just hang—it speaks. Choose something that reflects your journey, your taste, or your causes.
Let Your Walls Speak
I created Bl{art} because I wanted to prove that art can be powerful even when vision is limited. You don’t need perfect eyes to create or experience beauty. Every mark I make is a step toward breaking limits—and helping others feel seen.
When you bring one of my pieces home, you’re not just filling a space. You’re claiming it. You’re saying, “This is my space, and this is my story.”
So, if your room feels like it’s missing something, maybe it’s not more stuff—it’s a statement.
And maybe that statement... is a Bl{art}.
