Commissioning an abstract artwork is one of the best ways to ensure that a piece fits perfectly into your space, both visually and emotionally. Unlike choosing from existing artworks, a commissioned piece is created specifically for your interior, your dimensions and your atmosphere.
Whether you are a private collector, an interior designer, a hotel or a business, custom abstract art allows you to achieve a result that feels intentional, coherent and truly integrated into the space. In this guide, we explain how commissioned abstract art works, what to expect from the process, and how we create custom artworks at KOOK Abstract.
Why Choose Commissioned Abstract Art?
A Perfect Fit for Your Space
Every space is different. Wall dimensions, ceiling height, furniture layout and lighting all influence how an artwork should look. With a commissioned piece, size and proportions are defined specifically for your wall, not adapted afterward.
A Cohesive Interior Design
Custom art allows you to match or intentionally contrast the color palette, mood and visual language of the space. This is especially important in projects such as hotels, offices or large homes, where coherence and visual identity matter.
A Unique and Personal Artwork
A commissioned artwork is not a variation of an existing piece. It is created from scratch for you. The result is a unique work that exists only in your space and reflects your project rather than a generic trend.
What Kind of Projects Can Be Commissioned?
Private Homes and Living Spaces
From a single statement piece for a living room to multiple artworks for different rooms, commissioned art ensures consistency and perfect integration into your home.
Hotels, Offices and Commercial Spaces
For professional spaces, custom art can become part of the brand identity. Lobbies, reception areas, meeting rooms and corridors benefit from a coherent visual language and well-planned series.
Large-Scale and Multi-Piece Projects
In some cases, a project requires not one artwork but a set of 5, 10 or even 20 pieces. These series are designed together to form a coherent visual system while keeping each artwork original.
The Commission Process Step by Step
1. Initial Contact and Project Discussion
The process starts with a simple conversation. You tell us about:
- The space (dimensions, wall photos if possible)
- The atmosphere you want to create
- Your preferences in terms of colors and intensity
- Whether the project is a single piece or a series
2. Defining Size, Format and Direction
Based on your space and goals, we define:
- Exact dimensions
- Orientation (horizontal, vertical, square, multi-panel)
- General mood and visual direction
This ensures the artwork will be perfectly scaled and balanced in your interior.
3. Creation of the Artwork
Once the direction is clear, the artwork is created specifically for your project. The process is organic and painterly, but always guided by the previously defined ambit.
4. Finalization and Delivery
After completion, the artwork is carefully prepared, protected and shipped. You receive a piece (or several, depending on the project), either prepared for stretching on a frame or ready to hang.
How Much Freedom Does the Client Have?
Guidance Without Losing Artistic Identity
Commissioned does not mean mechanically executed. You don’t need to design the painting. You define the space, the mood and the general direction. The artistic interpretation remains authentic and consistent with the KooK Abstract style.
Finding the Right Balance
The goal is not to “decorate to order”, but to create a strong artwork that works perfectly in your space while keeping its artistic integrity and expressive power.
Timelines and Planning
How Long Does a Commission Take?
Depending on size and complexity:
- Single large pieces: usually 7 to 15 days
- Series or large projects: several weeks
We always agree on a realistic timeframe before starting.
Planning for Interior Projects
If the artwork is part of a renovation or interior design project, it’s best to plan it early so dimensions, palette and timing are aligned with the rest of the work.
Is Commissioned Art Right for You?
If you:
- Have a specific space to fill
- Want perfect proportions
- Need a coherent visual result
- Or are working on a professional or large-scale project
Then a commissioned artwork is often the best solution.
