Karol's Dream Cream Artwork

To preserve the integrity of the oil pigments and the cream frame, our care guidelines suggest using only a soft, dry microfiber cloth for light dusting. You should avoid using water, damp wipes, or chemical cleaners, as these can react with the oil-based medium and cause clouding or damage to the finish. Regular, gentle dusting is all that is required to keep the modern abstract design looking sharp.

While abstract art is a popular choice for all areas of the home, we recommend keeping oil paintings out of high-humidity zones like bathrooms. Based on our material expertise, moisture can affect the tension of the canvas and the finish of the cream frame over time. This piece is best suited for climate-controlled environments such as a living room, bedroom, or dining area to ensure long-term durability.

This piece is an authentic oil painting, a medium highly valued for its rich texture and superior color depth. Unlike flat digital reproductions, oil paint allows for a high degree of color accuracy and vividness, capturing the subtle tonal shifts between the beige and cream hues. This results in a sophisticated, gallery-quality appearance that adds a tangible sense of luxury to your home.

To create a professional gallery feel, we recommend the "57-inch rule," where the center of the artwork sits 57 to 60 inches from the floor (the average human eye level). Since this painting is 30 inches tall, your hanging hardware should be positioned so that the midpoint of the frame aligns with that height. When hanging over furniture, ensure there is a gap of 6 to 10 inches between the bottom of the frame and the top of the furniture piece.

Square artwork is a staple of modern design because it provides a sense of symmetry and architectural balance. With a depth of 1.5 inches, this piece offers a clean, low-profile look that is perfect for urban apartments or smaller spaces where a heavy, ornate frame might feel overwhelming. The square 30" x 30" footprint acts as a versatile anchor for neutral-toned rooms, providing a sophisticated focal point without cluttering the visual field.

To achieve a balanced look, interior designers generally recommend that artwork spans 60% to 75% of the width of the furniture below it. Measuring 30 inches wide, this square piece is an ideal fit for smaller loveseats, accent chairs, or standard entry consoles. If you are hanging it above a larger 80-inch sofa, we suggest flanking it with wall sconces or smaller vertical prints to maintain proper visual proportionality.
