A good piece of art can bring a lot of drama into your space. It can act as the starting point of you concept and at the same time it can also be the perfect finishing touch to your design. Here are a few pointers to note before you invest in them for your home.
1) COLOR SCHEME
While selecting an artwork, keep in mind the color scheme you have chosen for the room in which you are planning to place it. The colors in the artwork should compliment your space. It can never go wrong if you select two prominent colors in your interiors and buy a piece that matches with these.
2) ORIENTATION OF YOU ART
Select a piece that is done in portrait orientation for a tall wall/room and use a piece that is done in landscape orientation for a wide wall/room.
3) GALLERY WALL
One of the very popular interior design trends is to have a gallery wall in your space. A gallery wall is a wall where you hang a mix of prints, photographs as well as artwork by using a creative layout that goes with your room.
4) FRAMING
Use high quality frames to highlight your artwork. The framing can also add drama to an otherwise subtle painting. The material of the frame should match the materials you have chosen for your interiors. For eg: A metal frame can be used for an artwork in a room where the prominent materials are glass and metal, whereas a wooden framework for a space that has wood, fabric etc as the main materials.
