The art you choose to decorate with can transform your home and make it yours. However, there are some important tips to keep in mind when it comes to style selection, picture hanging, and color schemes that can make or break your space. These tips for selecting and decorating your home with art will help you get started. 

3 Tips for Choosing & Hanging Artwork

1. Pick What You Like

Don’t worry too much about current trends or what’s in style when selecting art for your home. If a piece doesn’t make you feel happy or relaxed, don’t put it on your wall. While it is fine to try and match color schemes and designs in the room, don’t limit yourself too much, or you might end up passing on some fabulous pieces of art. 

2. Size Carefully

When choosing art, keep both the size of the room and the size of the photos or paintings in mind. Several large pieces in a tiny bathroom can feel too crowded, while those same pieces in a large living room may not be enough to fill the space. Before purchasing anything, determine exactly where you want the art to go and measure the area. 

Some phone apps allow you to visualize pieces on the wall, or you can create a frame with painter’s tape to see the ideal size of the wall art you want, keeping in mind the size of the frame you’ll need as well. View your rendition from all angles of the room to make sure the size feels right no matter where you’re standing. 

3. Have Your Pieces Professionally Hung

Professional picture hanging services can be beneficial when hanging art in your home, especially when you have multiple pieces or large paintings. A professional installation technician will ensure your artwork is perfectly symmetrical and level, help you find the ideal placement in the room, and make sure your art is safely and securely attached to the wall.
