Navigating the crossroads of the built environment, our behaviours, mindsets, overall well-being, and daily social interactions are intimately entwined with our natural and constructed surroundings. Art creates a profound role as a perennial source of comfort and aesthetic delight, offering a touch of elegance and beauty to our lived experiences.
How do auction houses contribute to the creation of sustainable interior spaces?
Creating something new does not mean manufacturing more; the art world’s answer to sustainability is to retrograde. Auction houses can be the key contributor to the growing interest in acquiring designs and decorations for one's home. Not only acting as the fundamental player in the secondary art market but also the diversity of specifically curated departments can tailor one’s needs and vision for their dream home. Therefore, purchasing items through a secondary market, such as auction houses, allows artworks to breathe new life and cast their enchantment within a thoughtfully curated living space.
How can auction houses assist in bringing interior design to life across different styles successfully?
Embarking on transforming living spaces into captivating art pieces is an exciting endeavour, and auction houses are pivotal in turning aspiration into reality. Distinct interior design styles involve acquiring specific objects to achieve their unique aesthetic.
The 'Grandmillennial' style serves as the gateway to unlocking a comprehensive approach to sustainable interior design. The style, aptly dubbed after the Millennial generation, distinctly illuminates the primary adherents of this aesthetic movement as it is a repoussoir of traditional interior design with a modern twist. This allows the rebirth of vintage furniture; it provides an upheaving market for vintage furniture and decorative arts to complement and complete the vision.
Other interior design visions, such as Chinoiserie, Georgian, Victorian and Art Deco, can all be easily achieved through different specialists' sales throughout the year, each offering a curated selection that breathes life into your desired aesthetic. As for the role of auction houses, they play a crucial part in supporting sustainability and promoting individual dealerships within different categories.
How does strategic estate planning contribute to preserving and sustaining interior spaces acquired through auctions?
Coming from the Valuation Department at Roseberys, we aim to excel in meeting our clients' needs in estate planning. A regency-painted faux bamboo four-poster bed, a fitting addition to this design aesthetic, surpassed expectations in our December Fine & Decorative Sale. Initially valued at £400-600, it remarkably fetched £6,560—nearly 30 times its highest estimated value. This outstanding result underscores the thriving popularity of the Grandmillennial design, showcasing the tangible impact of thoughtful estate planning on the market’s reception of interior assets. By carefully navigating this planning process, individuals can safeguard the integrity of their acquired interiors for current enjoyment and future generations' appreciation.
By breathing new life into vintage furniture and embracing traditional design, it revitalises individual pieces and the entire market. Beyond the hype in retro interior design, the role of auction houses supports the growth and active tailoring of diverse visions for dream homes. In essence, the synergy of auction dynamics, sustainable interior design, and strategic estate planning forms a powerful trifecta. It shapes the spaces we inhabit today and lays the foundation for a legacy of thoughtfully crafted and preserved interiors that stand the test of time.
