Art Shipping And Insurance Explained

Few decisions shape a room as much as the art on its walls. For interior designers asking about art shipping and insurance explained, here is a clear, practical view from the studio.

Getting the scale right

The underlying principle is restraint and intention: choose fewer, better works, give them room to breathe, and let palette and light do the work. A considered original will outlast trends and reward years of looking.

Key takeaways

• Account for furniture height: leave 15–25cm between a sofa top and the base of the work.
• Originals carry provenance, texture and resale value that prints cannot replicate.
• Let the dominant colour in the painting echo, not match, an existing accent in the room.
• Frame floating or leave deep-edge canvases unframed for a clean, contemporary finish.
