How to pick the right artwork for your home

When you’re choosing artwork for your home, it’s important to think about the style of your space and the vibe you want to create. You don’t want your walls to be cluttered with random paintings and prints, so it’s important to carefully select pieces that will work well together.

Here are a few tips for picking the right artwork for your home:

1. Think about your style

What kind of look do you want your home to have? If you want it to be modern and minimalist, then you’ll want to choose sleek, simple pieces of art. If you prefer a more traditional or eclectic look, then you can mix and match different styles of art.

2. Consider your space

Not all art is created equal - some pieces will be too large or too small for your wall space. Be sure to measure the dimensions of your wall before purchasing any art, and make sure there’s enough space between each piece so that it doesn’t feel cluttered.

3. Choose pieces you love

This is the most important rule of all - you should only buy art that you love! Art is a personal expression, so you should choose pieces that resonate with you on a personal level. If you surround yourself with art that you love, it will make your home feel more like a sanctuary.

4. Proportions

Another thing to consider is the size of the artwork. Make sure that the artwork is proportionate to the size of the space it will be displayed in. You don't want a large piece of art to take up too much space or be overshadowed by other objects in the room.

5. Think about how much natural light the space gets.

Artwork that features bright colours or bold patterns can be overwhelming in spaces with lots of natural light. Conversely, artwork that is predominantly black and white may not stand out as much in a bright room. If you're struggling to choose art that will work in your specific space, take into account how much natural light the room gets and choose accordingly.

6. Mix and match

"Art doesn’t have to match your room, you can be eclectic," says Bernerd. "Traditional rooms can take modern art, and modern rooms can take older-style paintings. Often it is better to mix it up."

“Art isn’t as intimidating as it might seem. You don’t have to know art history to know what you like. You can fill your home with pieces that feel personal to you and fit your aesthetic,” says Bridget Mallon, editorial director of MyDomaine and the Spruce. “Art should make you happy when you look at it.”
