Choosing the right wall art is one of the best and most affordable ways to bring character and charm to your home. The top things to consider when choosing wall art are size and space, the purpose of the room, and how the art reflects your personality and compliments the rest of your style choices.
Know your space
You don’t want your art to feel too small or too big for the wall. As a general rule of thumb, art should cover about 60-75% of the wall's width if it’s the primary piece. Hang your artwork or wall decor 63-65 inches from the floor to the middle of the piece. Shouldn't be too high or too low. This will give you that comfortable middle ground that is appropriate for all heights.
2. Purposeful Art
Finding art that fits the purpose of the room it is in can greatly affect the overall mood and vibes of each space. For instance, the living room is the main gathering space, so a large statement piece like a colorful abstract, serene landscape would create the perfect focal point. Mirrors or a gallery of modern photographs fit nicely in an entry way or dining room. Offices, man caves, and specialty rooms are a fun place to bring out your personality with a moody geometric prints or even animal framed canvas art.
3. Mix things up
You do not have to stick with one style for the entire home. Don’t be afraid to mix difference sizes, mediums and textures. This will help to draw out the unique personality and purpose in each room. Your walls should reflect your taste, interests, and personality.
Choosing the right wall art is all about balancing style, size, and mood to enhance your space. By thoughtfully selecting pieces that complement your space, you'll create an environment that feels not only appealing but also uniquely yours.
