Define Your Style
The first step in finding the right wall art worth a space is to define your style. Are statement abstracts your jam? Or do you gravitate towards more minimalist, nature prints that perfectly create a peaceful space? Look through some design magazines, Pinterest, or even your favourite online retailers to see the style you are naturally drawn to.
Think About the Room Vibe
Now that you know your style, think about what the vibe of the room you’re decorating needs to be. Is it a cozy living room where you want to create a warm and inviting vibe? Or a home office where you want to get your creative juices flowing? Selecting a wall art that goes with the vibe of the space, will help build a uniform and visually attractive setup.
Measure Before You Buy
Before you buy, measure the area of wall space you have available. This will help with choosing the size and orientation of wall art that is right for you. Keep in mind that the piece should be relative to both the size of the wall and the other furniture in the room.
Mix and Match
Don’t be afraid to play around with different styles and mediums. Combining different styles of wall art can add interest and depth to your space. For example, you can pair a large, bold abstract painting with several simple line drawings, or vintage-inspired posters.
Make it Personal
Wall art is your personality and your favourites in a frame. Think about adding in pieces that represent your interests, travels, or favourite quotes. This will make your surroundings distinctive and custom, and we love unique around here!
