Feeling the Blues? Use A Little Art Therapy
Posted by Johnson Baker on 15th Aug 2020
Everybody feels caught up in his or her feelings from time to time. That’s a normal part of life. Studies have shown that art can help give expression to our feelings. Besides positive touch, smell, and sound, uplifting visuals can transform us. When we surround ourselves with art that is powerful and meaningful in our homes and workplaces, it begins to draw us out of nothingness. Poignant art pieces have the power to challenge, educate, inspire, and ultimately lift our spirits.
Not only this, but it also makes our workplace and home a happy, cheerful, and creative place where we can relax, be creative, and grow. In a nutshell- its cool art therapy that we are suggesting here!
It is not always possible to buy original art to surround us with it and that’s completely fine! You can invest in framed or stretched canvas wall art prints that are equally imaginative and inspirational. They look equally classy without the expensive price tag and what’s even better you can invest in multiple prints that can be shuffled as per your mood.
Here are some uplifting wall art ideas to wash away your blues:
Use Soothing Colours
Soothing pastel shades can bring a sense of semblance to an otherwise chaotic and hectic day. Calming colours like green, pink, and even browns give a calming ambience to the room. They are full of passion and energy. Plain canvasses in shades of blue that seem to have the compassionate tranquillity quintessential to the ocean have a powerful impact on our mind and mood. Or add a burst of tropical sunshine to your home by hanging canvasses in orange and yellow hues and see your home interiors brighten up.
Surround yourself with
your Passion
Your passions keep you alive and when you are surrounded with powerful visuals that remind you of your calling in life, it uplifts the mood like nothing else! It may be music, exploring the world, nature, and even food. Discover canvas art pieces that resonate with your inner being and drive you towards your goal, and trust us, you will never feel the blues!
Get Playful
Feeling too serious lately! Choose a canvas art print that says ‘stop thinking and start living’ loud and clear. There are several great art stores that have kitschy and playful abstract canvas prints, at times bordering on absurd, prints are bound to give you a chuckle anytime you walk into your home. This fun art-on-the-wall also makes your home ambience light and relaxed.
Uplift with Quotes
It is one thing to hear motivational things from your friends and completely another to have a stunning painting give you that little nudge every time you walk into your den. A powerful quote when seen again and again fills us with confidence and energy whenever we see it. You’ll love canvas art prints like these:
Go ‘Natural’
There is a reason why we escape to the mountains and in nature when things get too much to handle. Canvas art that depicts many shades of nature- its brilliant blooms, swathes of soothing greens, impossibly high peaks, etc. never fails to fill you with a sense of wonder and gratitude. Bring one of such artworks and see yourself feeling grounded and peaceful.
