ICYMI: Art in Interiors: Why Integrate Local Culture Into Commercial Spaces?
Description
In this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) article-read, we explore how thoughtfully curated artwork can do far more than simply “decorate” a space. It can help anchor brand identity, support wayfinding, and even deepen a sense of place and belonging for occupants. Adapted from the article, "Art in Interiors: Why Integrate Local Culture Into Commercial Spaces?" written by Rose Morrison and published on the interiors+sources website on June 18, 2025, this episode highlights strategies designers can use now, including:
- How to engage local communities and makers
- Integrating art with architecture rather than adding it last
- Source regionally to support sustainability goals
- Consider sensory-friendly choices that make spaces more inclusive
Along the way, we visit examples from retail, hospitality, healthcare, government, and education—from joyful neighborhood murals to mission-driven installations—that show art’s power to connect people, culture, and purpose inside the built environment.
