CHOOSING THE RIGHT ARTWORK
Wall art is more than just a decorative piece; it’s a reflection of your personality and style. Selecting the right wall art can transform your space, making it feel complete and cohesive
Consider the Room’s Purpose
Different rooms serve different functions. Whether that's a statement piece for the living room, a calming art that promotes relaxation in your bedroom or a fun, vibrant piece for your kitchen, your wall art should reflect this.
Choose the Right Size
The size of the wall art should be proportional to the wall and the furniture around it.
- Above Furniture: The artwork should be about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it.
- Standalone Pieces: Large walls can handle big, bold pieces, while smaller walls are better suited for medium to small-sized art.
Match Your Style and Colour Scheme
Contemporary Style: Look for modern abstract art or minimalist pieces • Traditional Style: Classic paintings or detailed landscapes work well • Eclectic Style: Mix and match different styles and colours for a unique look.
Style inspirationCreate a Gallery Wall
A gallery wall can be a great way to display multiple pieces of art.
- Plan Your Layout: Lay the pieces on the floor first to decide on the arrangement.
- Mix and Match: Combine different sizes, styles, and frames for an eclectic look.
- Maintain Balance: Ensure the overall composition is balanced and not too cluttered.
Think about the frame
The frame is just as important as the art itself.
Rotate your artwork
Keep your space feeling fresh by rotating your wall art periodically, both to reflect the changing seasons and to give new pieces a chance to shine by rotating your collection.
That's all for now...
Choosing the perfect wall art for your home is a fun and rewarding process. By considering the room’s purpose, the size of the art, your style, and how it will be framed and arranged, you can create a stunning display that enhances your space and reflects your personality. Remember, the most important thing is to choose art that you love and that makes you feel at home.
