How to Choose the Perfect Piece of Art for Your Space
How do you want to decorate your life, your home, or even your office? Are you looking for spaces that inspire or rooms that encourage relaxation and joy?
Finding the right piece of art for your home or office can be a bit like finding the perfect pair of shoes—you want it to fit just right, feel great, and look amazing! But with so many options, it can be tricky to know where to start. So, if you’re wondering, “How do I choose the perfect artwork for my space?” you’re in the right place.
Here are a few tips to guide you through the process and help you pick something you’ll love for years to come.
1. Think About Where It’s Going
The first step is to picture where the art will live. Are you looking to make a statement above your couch, create a calming vibe in your bedroom, or add some energy to your home office? The location matters! For a larger wall, consider a bigger piece or a collection of smaller works arranged together. Smaller pieces can brighten up a shelf or desk. Maybe a dreamy gallery wall filled with unique photographs, drawings, paintings, and textures is more your speed?
2. Let Color Guide You
Color can make a big difference in how a piece of art feels in your space. Do you want your artwork to blend in or stand out? If your room has a lot of neutral tones, a vibrant painting can add a pop of color. On the flip side, if the room already has a lot of bright colors, a piece with softer, muted tones can bring some balance. You don’t need to match everything perfectly, but choosing complementary colors can make the space feel cohesive and welcoming.
3. Choose Art that resonates with you
The best part about buying art is finding something that really resonates with you. Maybe it reminds you of a favorite place, a special memory, or simply makes you smile. Art should bring joy, so trust your gut and choose something that feels right to you. When a piece catches your eye, take a moment to let it sink in—do you still love it after a few minutes? That’s usually a good sign!
4. Get to Know the Story Behind the Art
Art is more than just decoration; it’s a piece of the artist’s heart and imagination. When you understand the story or inspiration behind a work, it can create a deeper connection. I always enjoy sharing the stories behind my pieces, so if you’re ever curious, just ask! Whether it’s a painting inspired by a beautiful sunset or a drawing that reflects a moment of calm, there’s often more than meets the eye.
5. Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Things Up
Not sure where to start? That’s okay! Art is about self-expression - so is interior design! Don’t feel like you have to follow strict rules. Mix different styles, colors, and sizes. Sometimes, the most interesting displays are the ones that combine unexpected pieces. Acquire pieces from different places like galleries, antique stores, flea markets, and your favorite stores. You can find a great mix of decor on a budget, and it will help you cultivate a space that is totally unique! Play around, rearrange, and find what feels good to you.
Finding Your Perfect Piece Can Be Fun!
Choosing art should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re just starting your collection or adding to your existing pieces, take your time and explore. Remember, a consciously curated space takes time- but it is so worth it! If you’re interested in learning more about my art or want some advice on what might suit your space, feel free to reach out.
