Is a blank wall in your home or office leaving you stumped? We’ve all been there! In this post, we’ve laid out Lindsey’s 4 best artwork styling tips to ensure your space is absolutely perfect. Remember, these tips are simply a guide to refer to whenever you need them. There is no right or wrong way to display art in your home. What looks and feels good to you is most important. When you want to change up your space and add some character, here are some tips to help you choose and style your favorite artwork.
Group pieces with a common theme.
Play with repetition by finding pieces that have one or two colors in common. Hanging coordinated artwork with coordinating colors is a great way to create a subtle vignette. Grouping similar pieces can be an effective way to fill a large wall on a smaller budget. You can opt for a “gallery wall” or “collage” style. To achieve the “gallery wall” effect, choose different sizes, dimensions, matting, and frames. For a “collage” effect, choose the same sized pieces or prints with the same matting and frames.
Hang artwork alone to fill a space.
Take height into consideration. You want your artwork to hang at about eye level for the average person. Take time to measure your piece and the wall to make sure to leave around 57 inches from the floor to the artwork’s center. Come equipped with your home’s measurements when you’re shopping for art so you can be certain your favorite piece will work in your space.
Be bold.
Choose a large piece of artwork to be a focal point and influence other decor choices. Go big or go home! Sometimes all you need is one statement piece of art. Whether you opt for a commissioned piece, available work, large print, or even a framed poster, a large piece of artwork will turn heads in your home.
Integrate art into your shelf styling.
Adding art to your shelves is a great way to integrate many colors into your space. Still-life artwork can add warmth to a kitchen or bookcase. Colorful abstract pieces add brightness and vibrance. The Goldies, our latest drop, are the perfect accent for your shelf styling. Pair these pieces with books, house plants, meaningful family heirlooms, and don’t forget to vary heights.
