If you have bought a new house or going for a makeover of your old one and are done with everything, you are still left with the icing on the cake. Wall art is that icing that you cannot miss to draw everyone’s attention. Art defines your personality and taste in home décor and how beautiful you want your home to look.
I love to place beautiful artworks in my home as they are the soul of your house with a unique serenity. The best part of selecting artworks for your house is that there are no set rules. You can buy anything you wish to, anything that suits your taste and will go easily with the flow.
So here are some tips that will help you fetch some of the best art pieces.
• Size of the artwork
While looking for the perfect wall art, the first and foremost thing is to find the size that will perfectly fit your wall. As far as the general guidelines are concerned, you can cover half to three-fourth of the wall space. Let’s say you can go for a larger piece of your art for your living room and smaller ones for bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen.
You can look upon the following guidelines for finding the right size:
Oversized- these art pieces are as long and wide as 100 centimeters. They are generally good for original artwork or some contemporary wall art.
Large- this size ranges from 80 to 100 centimeters in length. You can combine the large ones will mini ones or go solo if you have a medium-sized wall.
Medium- medium-sized artworks look great when combined symmetrically with other medium pieces. They are generally 60 to 70 centimeters in length and often go with some combinations.
Small- small ones are typically framed from 45 to 59 centimeters and are best placed in the bedrooms or kitchen area. You can either for pairs or a group of three for an impressive focal area.
Mini- the cute tiny ones range from 25 to 44 centimeters and are mostly available in collections. They are perfect for bathrooms or lobby area.
• Style of the artwork
Selecting the perfect artwork for your house is very personal. Style of the wall art reflects your identity. If your room's ambiance is vibrant and bright, go for some art pieces with a pop of rainbow colors. Similarly, if you are someone who loves having contemporary furniture, Contempo artwork will look great.
If you are a vintage fan, some retro style artworks will look great.
You need to be a little patient when deciding the style of your artwork. Picking up anything random will only make your room look absurd and will not be appealing to the eyes.
• The tender care of the art
Once you are done with the styling, size, color, theme, and frame of the artwork, you are now left with the most important part, the aftercare. You cannot just hang your art and leave it on. This beauty of your house needs utmost care and respect.
Ensure that the canvas is not directly exposed to the sunlight as it will lose its vibrancy with time. Either place it on a wall that is not now exposed to sunlight or get it framed with specialized UV acrylic Plexiglas. Similarly, avoid placing it on a damped wall or anywhere where there is excessive moisture. Cleaning any painting is quite an easy process, so do not go for strong or mild chemicals. A soft cotton cloth or a feather duster is good to go.
• Choose what you love.
It is your home, and your happiness is what matters. Keeping in mind the size and style, choose something which is appealing to your eyes. As mentioned before, selecting art is an individual preference because it reflects various emotions combined in a frame.
Ultimately, what is important is how you feel while looking at the wall art and how you want others to see it. If you are a chirpy one, you can choose modern art that is vibrant and energy driven. For a calm and composed person, a beautiful landscape is a perfect choice.
Conclusion
Art pieces should be appreciated forever. They truly reflect what you are and how you admire innovative beauties. Following the above tips will help you find impeccable work that you will not regret buying.
