It's time for some audience participation, so don't be shy.
There are naked people on the walls in some homes.
I'm not referring to pages of skin mags plastered on the walls, although I've seen that in a couple of bedrooms, but to framed and unframed paintings or drawings...perhaps realistic but more often modern, impressionistic or abstract.
Nudity on the walls - can it stay or should it go?
I am an art enthusiast, and my wife and I have collected a fair number of works of art, a number of which are etchings or paintings of nudes. I've seen more paintings, drawings and sculpture in my travels than I can count, and have great appreciation for the artist's expression of the human body. It hangs on the walls in my house as it does in other people's homes. I don't think much about it.
That may not be true for everyone.
Sometimes it can be a bit overdone, as in the case of this LA house with replicas of The David all over the yard. In this situation it is meant, I suspect, to grab attention or to shock. And perhaps annoy the neighbors. And a not-so-sublte thumbing them.
So now it's time for you to share your thoughts:
- Do you, as an agent, recommend to your seller clients that they remove such artwork because it might offend or distract buyers, even if it is tasteful, subtle and adds to the décor of the room?
- And from a staging perspective, is this sort of art work part of what is removed in order to create a more neutral presentation for buyers?
- Have you found some artwork to offend or distract you or your buyers when touring homes.
- And as a consumer are you troubled by nudity on the walls? Or other forms of artistic expression? And does it create an issue for you when looking at homes?
Does it matter or not? Go ahead, raise your hand. Any stories to share? Lessons learned?
