The most common rooms gallery visitors are looking to buy art for, is their living and dining rooms. Most people will feel daunted by the thought of choosing a piece of artwork to display here as this is a place in your house most of your guests will see and spend time in. Choosing the right piece is elemental in provoking conversation and setting the feel or vibe of the space. You can opt for one large-scale piece or a large gallery wall. Sometimes you need to think outside the frame.
You live in your home, so enjoy the pieces you have adorning your walls. Of all of the ways to choose wall art, decorating your home based on style might be the most natural. More than anything, selecting wall art by style is personal. A few examples of styles to use include: a focus on impressionist paintings or a bright, bold, modern piece.
Much like designing around a theme, an inspiration piece drives all of your other purchasing decisions. An inspiration piece for a room could be a piece of art, a sofa you love, or even just a trinket with a meaning you like. One woman’s antique paperweight is another woman’s grand piano – both potentially inspire the design of an entire room or even a whole house.
