Wall hangings, art pieces and photographs put the finishing touches on your home's aesthetic. Wall art catches the eye, unifies the room, and improves the ambience of your house.

Finding, buying, and installing art that you adore is completely worthwhile even though it may seem like a difficult task. Artwork upgrades any room instantly and streamlines the entire space in addition to adding personality.

Although there are no rules for adorning a home, following these basic guidelines will enable you to choose the ideal wall art pieces for your space, in all of its individuality. The options are endless, whether you choose a piece based on size, style, colour, theme, inspiration, or floor plan.

Selecting wall art by size: 

When choosing wall art for size, it's important to keep in mind both the size of the wall and the size of the artwork itself. The space could quite simply just need a beautiful photograph, print, or painting, but it is crucial to not completely upset the harmony of the space by choosing artwork of the wrong size or fitting. 

Begin your search with a size in mind; this will make it simple for you to sort through the alternatives. Before making a purchase, it's crucial to think about positioning because it will affect the size you require. Do you plan for your item to sit on top of something like a desk or buffet, or will it be hanging directly on the wall?

Fill in any gaps that occur as the space takes shape, starting with the larger pieces before moving on to the smaller ones. Consider starting with a large statement piece of art over your sofa because it will be the first thing guests will notice. The smaller supporting pieces you choose will add up quickly as you start putting your space together, and before you know it, your home will be styled in a way that you love.

Selecting wall art by style: 

While choosing wall art, keep in mind that your home probably already has a certain aesthetic and point of view. Consider this when making your decision and think about how your new purchase will appear in your room.

Whether it’s modern, traditional, coastal chic or simplistic, the wall art you choose can accentuate and perfect the design of your house, so choose wisely! There is something for everyone if you know where (and how to look), whether it be abstract prints, serene nature photographs, or minimalist, neutral paintings.

Find art that represents the mood your home conveys (or, maybe, the mood you want it to convey). If you're in the centre of a busy, stressful city, do you want it to feel like you're near the beach? Therefore,  rather than making you feel energised, choose pieces that allow you to feel relaxed and comfortable. 

Selecting wall art by theme: 

Interior design trends are familiar to all of us, and we have undoubtedly chosen the one that best suits our homes. However, because they establish a certain theme, these also factor into almost every interior decision you make, including choosing your wall art. The theme of your home decides which pieces blend in and which ones stick out, making it arguably the most crucial factor to take into account while looking for a new artwork.

You can't go wrong if you choose and source your new art pieces based on the concept of your home or room. You can definitely think of a few pieces of art that reflect the style of your home when you think about the influences and manifestations of each style in various items of furniture and home décor. A coastal, beachy home, for example, would favour light, neutral or whitewashed pieces with hints of cool hues like blue and green rather than vibrant, contemporary artwork. Your wall art should reflect the style and feel you've established as part of the coastal theme, though you don't have to go as far as driftwood and images of seashells. You might choose beachy photographs, sanded-back white frames, and whites, creams, and beige with lots of texture.
