Commissioning Large Blue-Green Abstract Paintings for London Interiors

CommissionIt, a UK-based art commissioning service, has published a comprehensive guide on selecting and commissioning large blue, teal, and green abstract paintings for London homes. The guide emphasizes that successful artwork must consider scale, undertones, surface, and lighting conditions rather than merely matching colors. It advises measuring usable wall space and suggests a canvas width of two-thirds to three-quarters of the furniture beneath it, with typical sizes ranging from 120–200 cm. The guide highlights the importance of understanding the room's natural light, noting that north-facing rooms cool blue and green tones, while south-facing rooms warm them. It also discusses material choices—oil, acrylic, or mixed media—and their effects on durability and finish. Commissioning prices are indicated at £900–£4,000, subject to artist, dimensions, and complexity. The guide stresses planning for access, hanging, and care, including measuring doorways and stairwells, and using appropriate wall fixings. It provides a list of questions for buyers to ask before approving a commission, covering dimensions, palette, materials, costs, and lead times. CommissionIt offers to match buyers with artists based on practical briefs, including wall dimensions, photographs, palette preferences, budget, and deadlines.
