How to chose Contemporary Art for the Home
When selecting the contemporary artwork including a traditional piece or something modern art for the home, first consider two things;
1.) Your personal taste including design, themes, colors, styles, along with the size and texture of the artwork as well. Remember to trust your instincts.
2.)Assess your space and keep the size of the artwork and the placement of the artwork in mind.
Understanding Your Personal Taste
At BrushstrokesbyAnne we always strive to make the experience of selecting artwork easy and enjoyable, and first would like to remind you to always select a piece you want and adore. When it comes to shopping for artwork, it really is mostly about personal taste. Developing your own personal taste may require a little bit of guidance. Start with simple questions like what are your favorite colors, what colors make you feel relaxed or inspire you? Take into account the colour scheme of each room. Artworks that incorporate colours in your furnishings or accent pieces can tie the room together beautifully.
Overtime you can refine your personal style and taste in artwork.
Assess the Space of the Room and the Size of the Artwork
Produce aesthetic harmony in the living room by opting for larger pieces or a gallery wall to make a statement. A safe bet is to place the art at eye level to ensure it captures attention without overwhelming the space.
