Panama City Beach Condo Art

Purchasing art for your condo             

By M. Jackson Brister

Art is everywhere. The character of your condo is defined by the choice of paintings, furniture, to the flowers in the foyer and your flatware. Art has many applications in decorating your condo. Paintings, framed prints, sculpture, functional and decorative objects like wallpapers, towels, kitchen textiles, tiles, woven throws should be considered. Condo décor varies from trendy designers showcase homes to eclectic and highly personalized styles. From casual to chic, the look and feel of your condo becomes a personal signature reflective of you.

Think of your new condo as a blank canvas; the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Create a breezy sanctuary with minimalist furniture and dramatic paintings that enhance the architecture of the rooms or a cozy and warm getaway with antiques and framed floral prints grouped on the walls. Rather than buying art to accent a completed room, try a bold and different approach. Plan an entire room (an entire condo) around a favorite piece of art. Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Paul Brent’s seascapes or Jane Segrest’s dynamic abstracts will each yield very different motifs. Let the art dictate the theme of the room. Jane Segrest’s latest works, large abstracts in brilliant colors, create a perfect focal point for the modern architecture of many condos. Direct inquiries to information @janesegrest.com.

Local Panama City artist Paul Brent whose watercolors of coastal life and nature have gained widespread recognition both nationally and internationally believes people should live with art:
“Art is not only for walls. Wear it, cover up with it, and entertain with it.” You do not have to be an expert in fine art to enjoy and buy art for your new condo. You can design and develop a space that combines function and beauty. Visualize how you want your condo to look and feel. When selecting art, consider the furniture, flooring, walls (color), lighting and the room’s architecture. Each component combines to have a sum greater than the individual elements by creating that illusive and cherished feeling we call home.
