Here are some tips to choose the right piece of art for your space.
Color
Find art with colors that match your room’s wall colors, accent pieces, or furniture. If the palette in your space revolves around a theme, like the ocean, stick with that as you pick your artwork, and choose something with light greens or blues. Don’t worry about perfectly matching the color in the art to your room, though. Instead, make sure the colors complement one another.
Size and Scale
You must also consider the size and scale of the piece. A common mistake is picking artwork that is too small. Instead, go with something bigger or have a smaller painting framed with a large matte. As a general rule-of-thumb, you want art that is roughly two-thirds the width of your sofa for living rooms. This increases the visual impact of the art and makes your room feel balanced.
Style
Think about the style of the room. For instance, in modern rooms, avoid getting farmhouse artwork, and go with something that suits the modern theme. Sticking to the style of your room when choosing wall art creates a more cohesive feel to your design and reflects the mood and vibe you have already focused your design on.
