Ask yourself what you want to showcase — framed family photos, art that inspires you or other types of wall decor.
The best way to understand how you want your home to look is by asking yourself what it means to you. Ask yourself what you want to showcase — framed family photos, art that inspires you or other types of wall decor.
Next, think about the overall style of your space and whether that matches up with the furniture or art in there now. It's easy for our homes' interiors to become outdated and out of character because we make so many purchases over time that don't necessarily fit together well. If this sounds like something that might be happening in your house, take a look at these tips on how to establish a cohesive aesthetic in any room.

Consider the style of your frame, matting and hardware (the metal or plastic parts that hold everything together).
Choose frames in neutral colors for art or pictures because they can be mixed and matched with most any style of decor.
If you're looking to decorate your home or office, you may be considering whether or not to buy a frame for a picture.
Frames are great because they help draw attention to the art on display, and make it look more professional and attractive. Also, choosing frames in neutral colors like black and white can make any piece of art look good no matter what style of decor you have.
When choosing a frame for your wall art or pictures, think about how much space around the picture will be visible (the mat). The size of the mat will depend on what kind of artwork is inside—for example: if it's a large painting then there will not be much room around it but if its just small prints then there can be some extra space between these two items when displayed together side by side against one another."
If you have several different styles of decor throughout your home, choose frames and art that will work well in all rooms.
If you have several different styles of decor throughout your home, choose frames and art that will work well in all rooms.
One way to do this is by being neutral with colors. For example, if you have a lot of reds and oranges throughout your house and want to add a black-and-white photograph, choose one with warmer tones like tans or browns instead of blacks or whites. This will complement the overall look of your house and make it feel cohesive.
Another option is choosing classic frames over more decorative ones—this can help tie together any style you prefer without overpowering it with too much decoration or color.
Use wall art to reflect your personal taste rather than trying to match existing decor.
When it comes to choosing art for your home, it’s important to remember that the piece reflects you. Your home should be a reflection of you and your tastes, so if you want something that matches what you already have in place, go for it! However, if you're looking for a statement piece or something that will help create a new look altogether—and make people think twice about how they view their own home decor—then art is an excellent choice.
It's also important to note that not all pieces are created equal; some are just better than others at standing out among their peers. For example: If I were going out on an expensive date with someone who loved cars as much as I do (which would probably never happen), I'd buy them one of these beautiful car prints from Rosemary Blackwood instead of wasting money on flowers or jewelry because flowers die and jewelry gets lost/stolen/replaced every few years anyway!
It's okay to mix styles and periods if the end result is pleasing to you.
It's okay to mix styles and periods if the end result is pleasing to you. Consider something like a Spanish galleon mixed with an abstract painting. This is especially true when it comes to frames and mats; pick something that speaks to your personal style, whether it be modern or classical.
If you're leaning towards not mixing styles but rather reinforcing one particular style in your room, use accessories to bring in elements of other styles or eras. For example, if you have a Victorian-style dining room set with lots of floral prints on the plates and tablecloths, then try picking up some gold-framed posters from an antique store for a burst of color as part of your art display.
Consider scale when choosing frames for large pictures or for a gallery of pictures — it's a great way to create visual impact in any room.
When you have several pieces of art or photos that you want to hang together, consider scale. This is a great way to create visual impact in any room. Large, bold pieces should be paired with frames that are similar in color and style. For example, if you have a large painting of an outdoor scene, consider hanging it next to a similarly sized landscape photo (or even another painting). If your artwork is small and delicate-looking but has a lot of detail and color—for instance, if it's an abstract watercolor on paper that looks like a painting from the 1970s—you might want to choose one large print and two smaller ones for comparison. You could also try grouping paintings from different periods or styles by artist or medium: for example, groupings could include landscapes by Monet; portraits by Rembrandt; still lifes by Cezanne; cubist paintings by Picasso; Pop Art works such as Andy Warhol's soup cans; abstract artworks by Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko."
A few simple rules make it easy to frame and hang artwork perfectly every time.
Making sure that your wall art is framed and hung correctly every time is easier than it sounds, as long as you follow a few simple rules.
-
Be consistent
It's important to be consistent in the way that you frame your artwork, so everyone who sees it can get the best out of it. Whether that means having all wooden frames or all metal ones; or hanging pictures on either side of mirrors or above them; or keeping one side bare while filling up the other three with art—whatever works for you will work for whoever looks at your work too!
-
Measure twice, cut once
The old saying "measure twice, cut once" applies equally well here: measure twice before framing anything so that when you cut it to size then there are no mistakes left on there by mistake (and don't forget about any little bits sticking out from around the edges). If cutting corners isn't really what we're going for here then using a ruler will make sure everything measures up correctly first time around - no messing around trying again after making mistakes before getting things right!
