Beautiful interiors need beautiful art, yet this is an aspect of design that is often treated as a separate, and less important, issue.

But consider this: your superb boutique hotel or top class restaurant can have art that complements the décor, enhances the architecture, highlights different areas, and creates atmosphere. By using colour, shape, size, and choice of image, art can add another dimension to your interior space.

So where do you go to source such highly specified artwork? Image Shed is a thriving company that produces extremely high specification, digitally printed artworks. Launching their new website, Image Shed are presenting a gallery of over 1000 exclusive images, a total art service, special Express service, and an exciting range of substrates including canvas, acrylic and glass.

Indeed, Image Shed is one of the few companies in the UK to offer printed laminated glass: a stunning material that can be used structurally to create soaringly beautiful installations. When expertly lit, glass artwork can almost seem holographic, suspending images in mid-air to hang shimmering in space.

For smart canvas artwork, this more traditional technique has been brought bang up to date with the use of 21st Century technology: lightfast inks and cutting edge digital print techniques. Acrylic is a versatile substrate that can be wall hung – creating 3-D silhouetting effects when correctly lit – or used for non opaque screening, maintaining that feeling of space while also creating room divisions.

Image Shed has done work for a wide range of companies, from exquisite boutique hotels, to the national restaurant chain Pizza Hut. Director Lucy Grafham says: “because we approach each project as a unique case, we can offer personal attention, perfectly tailored artwork and professional service to every client, big or small.”

Corporate art is about to get a whole lot more exciting, and Image Shed is leading the way.
