1. Art makes you happy
If you are lucky enough to own a piece of original art, there is no doubt that one of the greatest benefits is the positive feelings that it gives you. Happiness is one of the most obvious sentiments that your original art will provide and gives people the most pleasure as well as lift the moods of everyone else in the room! We all like to feel good and the good feelings start with the anticipation of searching for the perfect artwork
2. Art makes an impression
Art enhances the room in which they are displayed. Just knowing that they complete your interior design can lift the mood of the room and everyone in it. Many people will appreciate the quality and value of an original art piece and adds an element of luxury to your home. You are showing that you can afford exactly what you want – original art. However, more affordable fine art prints make an impression when they are unique and framed beautifully. Art is how you express your individuality.

3. Art reduces stress
Art reduces stress by increasing relaxation, enjoyment and inner calm. After you buy that painting it will hang in your home and you will get enjoyment from it every time you look at it. Perhaps the art is a landscape that reminds you of a vacation or a calm scene of swimming fish. Art expresses thoughts, feeling and emotions that may be difficult or impossible to communicate. You may not be an artist yourself, but perhaps did a great job of communicating feelings for you.

5. Arts improves the quality of life
What’s the best reason for collecting art? Let me know!
I liked it when you mentioned that art can give a great impression to your guests when they come over to your place. During my visit to Japan last year, I am very much interested in this Noh Mask that is one of a kind and very unique. I think it would be great if I could find a piece of art about it so I can place it on my wall and create a good impression on my guests.
I agree that art will improve your quality of life as it relaxes and makes you happy when looking at it. My boyfriend’s apartment looks dull. I believe we should buy some paintings for the apartment. He likes the outdoors and animals. So I want to get him something that will make him happy when he looks at it.
My husband wants to hire an artist to our daughter’s first birthday and I don’t know how I feel about it. I didn’t know how much original art can change a room and lift the mood of the room and everyone in it. Now that I read this article, I think I’ll let my husband hire an artist for the party so whenever we look at the painting in our house, we’ll always be reminded of the hard work and effort that went into that day.
Art helps express your feelings and make you happy. Thank you for featuring my felt embroidered bracelet!
The best thing about collecting art is the art itself, the translation of feelings through the senses…
Art creates an environment of our own making/choosing which will influence us for better or worse 24/7!
Beautifully put @Ruth!
and the affects last longer without side affects– and art doesn't make you gain weight
yes! so true– that art is appreciated in multiple cultures– except some speak in different aesthetics…
Art enhances our connection to each other by helping us see through the artists' eyes. It makes the world a better place by bringing us closer to each other!
