by Katie Staples January 10, 2024

Art isn't just a visual treat; it's a reflection of your personality and a critical element in transforming a house into a home. Selecting the right pieces can be a delightful journey of self-expression and interior beautification. Here are some top tips to help you choose the perfect art for your home.

1. Let Your Personal Style Show:
Your home should be a reflection of who you are. Whether you're drawn to vintage landscapes, abstracts, or anything in-between, choose pieces that resonate with your personal taste. Your art should tell a story about you and create an atmosphere that you enjoy.

2. Consider the Room's Purpose:
Different rooms inspire different moods. A calming seascape might be perfect for a bedroom, encouraging relaxation. Or, set the tone of the space with a bold abstract piece. Think about the ambiance you want to create in each space.

3. Play with Colors:
Art can either complement or boldly contrast the existing color scheme of a room. A piece with colors that coordinate with your pillows or curtains can unify a room, while art with contrasting colors can become a stunning focal point.

4. Size and Scale Matter:
Proportion is key. A large, bold piece can be a statement in a spacious room, while smaller works are perfect for more intimate spaces. Consider the wall size and room scale when selecting art. Our Oversized category features art up to 40" x 60" - click here to see all art available in our Oversized category.

5. Mix and Match Different Mediums:
When choosing art for your space, be sure to consider and mix in other mediums throughout your space for a dynamic and textured look. Examples of other mediums include: foliage, wood accent pieces, pottery, etc.

Choosing art for your home is a personal journey that should be enjoyed. Remember, there are no hard and fast rules – it's all about what appeals to your eye and makes your space feel like your own.
