Editorial Review
Exclusive Home Decoration Tips from author Sabrina Soto
Choosing artwork for your home can be tricky and tiresome! But here are some simple suggestions to help relieve the pressure.
- Keep the style of your décor in mind when making your selection. You don't want your artwork to clash with existing items in your room; so, if your room is traditional, stick with traditional artwork. The same applies for modern, rustic or contemporary rooms.
- Buy artwork that is proportional to other pieces in your room. You want to create a sense of visual balance. Be careful not to choose pieces that are too large or too small for your space. A good rule of thumb is that your art work should be 60% to 75% the width of what you are hanging it over. So if your sofa is 80″ wide then your art work should be no more than 60″ wide.
- If you cannot afford large pieces of art, choose a series of smaller pieces that you can hang together in rows or collages.
- Avoid problems with glare by skipping the fancy frames and glass; unframed art is really popular right now and will add more depth to your space. Look for canvases stretched on frames, or prints on wood or metal backings. This will making shopping a little easier and often reduces the price of the piece.
- Always hang your art at eye level, no matter how tall your walls are. This will ensure the artwork will draw just the right amount of attention.
- Most importantly, buy what makes you happy; buy what you love!
