While interior designers are masters of overall space, functionality, and aesthetics, art advisors specialize solely in art. They have deep knowledge of art history, market trends, artist databases, authenticity, provenance, and investment potential – aspects that most interior designers don't have the time or specialized training to master.

Sourcing the right art can be incredibly time-consuming, involving gallery visits, artist research, negotiations, framing, shipping, and installation logistics. Interior designers are already managing countless other elements (furniture, textiles, lighting, construction), so delegating art procurement to a specialist saves them significant time and allows them to focus on their core design responsibilities.

An art advisor can ensure the art not only complements the design aesthetic but also meets the client's goals, whether that's building a significant collection or finding a unique, custom piece. This adds immense value to the interior designer's overall service offering.

Art advisors, like BAO Art Group, have established relationships with galleries, artists, and private dealers worldwide. This grants them access to a wider and often more exclusive inventory of artworks, including pieces not publicly listed or reserved for loyal clients, which designers might struggle to find on their own.

Art advisors are skilled at working within budgets, negotiating prices, and often securing trade discounts, which can make their services cost-effective for the client in the long run. They can also advise on the long-term investment potential, aligning art purchases with a client's financial goals.

Art advisors handle all the complexities: artwork authenticity, insurance, shipping across borders, custom framing, and professional installation. They mitigate risks and ensure a smooth process.
