We can liken art to the missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle that makes it look whole. Artwork can also inject a touch of personality into your space and make it unique. However, the wrong choice of art could make your house look chaotic, poorly thought-out and imbalanced. Fortunately, you don’t need an interior designer to help you choose appropriate art. Here you will learn a few practical tips to help pick the right artwork pieces for your home.
Select a piece that speaks to you
Choosing art shouldn’t be complicated. All you need to do is fall in love with the piece. No matter how many other pieces you explore, you will always return to that one piece that caught your eye. Since art is rarely a bad investment, we highly suggest you choose a piece that you love and one that inspires you.
Keep the color scheme in mind
Your choice of art should reflect the overall atmosphere you want to create in your home. Ask yourself whether you want a neutral, dramatic or harmonious space. The next step would be to consider the color scheme in your home when browsing for art. The piece could either contrast the existing theme or match it almost perfectly.
Avoid compromising
It is not uncommon for people living together to have different tastes in art. However, settling on a piece that you don’t love leads to disappointment and resentment along the road. Therefore, we highly suggest you have a sit down with your partner or roommate and agree that everyone picks their favorite piece. Even though you will hang the art in separate rooms, at least everyone will be happy.
Consider shopping for your art in person
Online shopping has made it easier to source the items we love. However, shopping from the comfort of your couch could never replace the exhilarating experience of in-person shopping. For instance, if you are browsing sally mann photos online and see one you like, we suggest you reach out to the artist and schedule a one-on-one meeting. Seeing the art in person can help you thoroughly inspect the piece and determine whether you would love to have it in your home.
Place the piece of art away from natural light
If you intend to place a photograph or painting in a room with lots of natural light, we recommend glazing the surface with glass or Perspex to protect it from UV rays. We would also advise you to keep art away from direct sunlight to prevent it from fading or getting damaged. For rooms that inevitably get lots of sunshine, it would be wise to hang less expensive art.
Final thoughts
As we conclude this quick guide we urge you not to make art an afterthought. Think about what art you would love to have in your house from the onset and make everything else revolve around the pieces you choose. Once you have gathered a collection of pieces you love, all that’s left would be to put them up and gush over your visually appealing home.
