Art really ties the room together.

Like a great rug, a piece of art can really tie a room together. Searching for just the right piece can be a long and arduous process. The solution? Custom commissioned pieces.

Real estate agents, companies, and homeowners alike have caught the custom-art bug, according to the Wall Street Journal, and many others. "Sellers are commissioning specially designed works to set the right tone in high-end listings, and owners and interior designers are hiring artists to create pieces to work with the existing décor.⁠"⠀

If you like supporting local artists in LA personally, we have a few favorites. Check out these wonderful artists: Maud Simmons, Adolfo Girala, Jeffrey Sklan, Joey Feldman. Maud paints everything and anything, really: animal, mineral or vegetable. Her abstract work is very fun. Jeffrey Sklan is a master photographer who concentrates and captures flora like no other. Adolfo Girala (Art Adolfo) creates three-dimensional works that are based on nature in an abstract way, and very rich in color and texture. Joey Feldman has a way with emotion, portraits, and symbolism that is unrivaled in his generation. Click on the images to visit their websites.

But what if your tastes outgrow your art? We've noticed a great work-around. Art subscription. Yes. We said it. And someone has done it.

Creative Art Partners is an art curation firm here in Los Angeles that is doing art differently. It is a fine art subscription service. Yes, you read that right. You create your collection by choosing from over 1,500 works from gallery artists with the help of their curators. They install the collection, and you can change it out as you like. This works not only for companies and homeowners, but for real estate staging as well. CAP's collection includes artists from all around the world - the artwork has been acquired from leading galleries, auction houses, art fairs and directly from artist studios. CAP Home brings you a low cost and convenient way of living with art and the unique flexibility to change pieces out so your collection can evolve as your lifestyle does.

Whichever way you decide to go, live life fully with art. Chances are, you will love what you love throughout your life, but as circumstances change, and so can tastes. If you are a business owner, a subscription is an excellent idea.
