5 Art Prints Tips For Small Spaces

Introduction

While the perfect piece of art can be an eye-catching addition to any space, it's not always easy to find a work that fits in with your existing decor. If you're looking for something that isn't going to cost a fortune and will make a big impact in your space, then you'll love these tips for making affordable art prints fit into small spaces.

Make a statement with an over sized print in a small space.

If you have a small space, make a statement with an over sized print. This will draw attention to the focal point of your room: the art. An over sized frame can also help open up a room and make it appear bigger than it actually is. The size of the print should be proportionate to the space you are hanging it in—not larger than that area. For example, if your wall measures 24 inches wide by 36 inches high (and includes crown molding), try getting a frame that measures at least 36 inches wide by 48 inches high (or even 48" x 72"). The color of both the wall space and furniture should be considered when selecting a large-sized print for this kind of situation; for example, if everything else in your living room is white or gray but there's one bright red chair against a light gray wall, then go with something colorful like orange or blue instead of another neutral tone like green or black because these colors would clash with each other visually!

Keep the print's color palette in line with the room's hues.

The right color palette can make or break a small space. Pick colors that are in line with the room's hues, and you'll have a cohesive look that will make your decor feel bigger.

To start, choose an overall neutral color palette: cream and beige are good options for rooms of any shape or size—they're never too loud, but they still add dimension to a space.

Then use a color wheel to find complementary pairs of adjoining hues; these should be used throughout the print, as well as in any other decor items you bring into the room.

Avoid bold patterns to avoid making your art print seem busy and stressful.

When shopping for art prints for small spaces, you'll quickly realize that bold patterns are a common theme. This makes sense; these prints can look great in large rooms and make your art stand out. However, if you're working with a smaller room or space, they may not be the best option.

When shopping for art prints that will fit your space perfectly, avoid anything with too many different textures or colors. If you must have a busy print on your wall, consider investing in a small print instead of going big on size—it'll help keep things from looking overwhelming. Alternatively, choose one bold pattern rather than multiple small patterns together (which could be just as distracting). The same goes for color: if there are multiple shades being used throughout the piece of art itself (like gradients), try sticking to one primary hue instead of several different ones that all clash together into an eyesore of visual chaos!

Add in an occasional pop of bold color to make your art print stand out.

In a small room, you only have so much space to work with and the focal point of your art print needs to stand out. This is where adding in an occasional pop of bold color can help immensely.

You can use this technique to draw attention to a particular part of the room (such as a fireplace or unique architectural detail), add a pop of color that brightens up the room, or make it feel more intimate by surrounding yourself with warm colors (reds, oranges and yellows) rather than cool ones (blues).

Consider pairing one print with a single piece of furniture or wall space for an uncluttered look.

You can also combine one piece of artwork with other small decorative items to help create a richer look. Consider pairing one print with a single piece of furniture or wall space for an uncluttered look. If you want more visual interest, consider hanging two pieces together on the same wall:

• A large framed print and a smaller painting or photograph will complement each other without competing for attention.

• Matching prints in different sizes can work well when hung in pairs as well.

• A piece of furniture (such as a cabinet) and its mirror are often used in tandem to create an illusion of space when placed side by side; this same effect can be achieved within the same room by pairing a print with its reflection (see below).

Small spaces can be decorated effectively.

Decorating a small space can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. With the right art prints, you can create an elegant and efficient decor that complements your living situation. Here are some tips:

• Keep it simple. It's easy for a small space to look cluttered, but this doesn't have to happen! You don't want your walls covered in art prints; instead, select one or two pieces that match each other but don't compete with each other. That way they'll feel harmonious and balanced instead of busy and overwhelming on the walls of your home.

• Avoid bold colors or busy patterns if possible—these are both common mistakes made by people who decorate their homes with too many different wall hangings at once (especially if they're close together). If you want something bolder than black-and-white photos without going completely out there with neon orange stripes across every wall surface in sight then try using color sparingly on smaller items such as throw pillows instead—they'll still give off enough vibrancy without making everything else seem washed out by comparison!

Conclusion

With these five tips, you can find the perfect art print for small spaces that will make your home feel warm and welcoming.
