Art is an essential component of interior décor. It can be used to accessorize a space, make a bold statement, or simply direct people’s attention towards a particular spot. Homeowners can use art to express their personal style and tastes.
As an online art gallery and art store in Canada, we’ve put together some advice to help you select wall art for each room in your home:
In the Kitchen
Sure, glitzy backsplashes and immaculate floors are great for making a kitchen beautiful. But putting up some art can also make it more stylish. Smaller pieces look better in the kitchen, as it’s already filled with multiple rows of cabinets and large appliances. Choose food-, cooking-, or dining-themed art for a natural fit.
In the Bedroom
All aspects of a bedroom should create a calm, tranquil environment—and bedroom art is no different. Larger pieces with low-key frames work well in the bedroom. You can easily find art for sale online with gentle hues and mild colours for a relaxing effect. Hang the art on the wall facing the bed or directly above the bed for maximum visual impact.
In the Bathroom
Bathrooms aren’t the first place people think of when it comes to buying art for their homes. But the fact is, a bathroom is an ideal space for putting up more experimental pieces since you spend less time there than in other spaces.
Just remember to keep the overall design in mind. For greater visibility, consider hanging artwork over the toilet, over the bathtub, or on the wall opposite the vanity.
In the Living Room
The living room is considered a tricky space for artwork because it’s an area for guests, socializing, and entertaining. But the right art piece can be a conversation starter and set the mood for the space. Choose a single large work of art for a visually striking effect— or build a gallery wall with multiple smaller pieces that you’re fond of.
Conclusion
Think of the wall art in your home as a creative outlet and an opportunity to show off your aesthetic sensibilities. Just like your interior design, flooring, and furniture choices, artwork can make your space more aligned with who you are.
