Tips for Choosing Art for Your Home
August 13, 2019
Wall art draws attention, pulls together space in your house, and makes it look inviting to your guests. One of the most challenging tasks in decorating walls is to choose the right piece of art. If you usually struggle in choosing art pieces for your house, then consider these tips:
Size Selection
When you go out to find perfect artwork, be particular about its size. The general rule of the thumb is that the bigger it is, the better it will look! If you need an artwork near a sofa, then keep the size of your artwork around two-third longer than the sofa. If you are into small pieces of artwork, then group them together to fill a big space.
Color Selection
It is important that your artwork perfectly complements the wall colors of your house. You need to follow two things here:
1.) Choose art that incorporates color already present in the room.
2.) Choose art that introduces dark and bold colors in the same scheme.
A Mixture of Old and New Art
Contrasts are great to create a perfect balance in your home. If you place art from different eras together in the same room then it complements each other perfectly. For people who want to create a compelling effect in a room, a mix of modern and classical artwork is the answer.
Choose What You Like
Art is all about following your heart. It is a way to express emotions through colors and textures. It does not matter if it is cheap or expensive, as long as it makes you happy. So while making a purchase, make sure that you buy what you love.
You deserve a house that perfectly suits your sense of style. Have fun choosing artwork for your home!
