What are Decorative Arts?

 , updated on
Decorative arts is the commercial use of art for products and interior design.

Decorative Art vs Fine Art

Decorative art is produced from requirements. For example, a product package might need to highlight brand colors and effectively sell the product.
Fine art is art for art's sake. That is to say that fine art stems from the inspiration of the artist as opposed to commercial requirements.

Decorative Art vs Ornamental Art

Decorative art is used to describe art in interiors and ornamental art is used to describe art in architecture.
Architecture is often considered a fine art. As such, architects typically avoid the term decorative art to describe their work.
