So you took my advice and gifted your Valentine a lovely piece of art this year, or you're just looking for a guide on how to proudly hang your new art piece in your home. Don't worry, I got you! Here are some tips for selecting artwork that fits your space and style.
Consider Scale: Measure the walls where you plan to hang the piece. You'll want the art to be in proportion without overwhelming the space. Generally, art should be 1.5-2 times the size of surrounding furniture.
Match the Vibe: What feeling do you want the room to have? Calm? Bright? Eclectic? Choose artwork that enhances the mood. Abstracts work well in modern areas while landscapes suit farmhouse styles.
Frame It: Even the coolest piece needs the right frame to make it gallery-ready. Consider color, width, finish. A simple frame lets the art shine while an ornate one makes a statement. Test different styles before committing.
Groupings Look Great: You don't have to stop at one! Hang 2-3 curated pieces together for a more polished look. Mix mediums, sizes and styles for visual interest. Just be consistent with frames/colors.
Lighting Is Key: No use having art no one can see! Ensure you have sufficient illumination to properly display your pieces. Spotlights or picture lights above artwork are an easy solution.
With these display tips in mind, you'll be well on your way to styling beautiful artwork throughout your home that you and your Valentine will enjoy for years to come. Let me know if you need any other decorating advice!
