Choosing art for your home can be daunting. Here are 14 tips to make it easier.
A gallery wall can feature artwork of varied sizes, but they should have something in common, such as subject matter, or similar frames.
I’m optimistic enough to believe you can have art that cuts both ways — if you’re careful. So, when I heard that interior designer Angela Neel, of Winter Park, Fla., was giving a “How to Marry Art and Interior Design” talk at a local art gallery, I signed up. 1. Yes, color matters. Although the main reason to acquire art is because it speaks to you, it should also work with your home. “You picked the decor and colors in your home because you liked them, so work with them,” Neel said. “Don’t put a piece of art in warm tones in a room designed with cool colors. Muddy yellow in a gray room never works.”
5. Reframe it. If a piece looks tired, or you’re tired of it, consider reframing. A new frame can revive a stodgy piece and make a traditional piece feel contemporary. 9. Mix it up. Serene landscapes, bold abstracts, soft watercolors, sculptures, photography and pencil drawings can and should live successfully in the same home.
