Wall space is an important element in interior decoration.
Wall space is an important element in interior decoration. As such, it's important to consider the layout of your room and how you use the space before making any wall art decisions. Some questions to ask yourself include:
-
How much natural light comes into my room?
-
Do I move around much while working at my desk?
-
Where do I spend most of my time when working at this desk?
-
How do I move around in this space? (Am I walking on smooth floors or carpeting?) Do I turn left or right when coming into this area from another part of the house?"
Scale down the size of the artwork if your wall art is too large.
If you have a small piece of art and it is the only thing hanging on your wall, make sure to place it in an area with a good view. If the art is too big, it will overpower the room and make it look smaller. On the other hand, if your piece of art is too small for its space, it will get lost in the room.
Never put up a huge poster behind your sofa leaving no empty space around it.
Don’t use too much wall art
To avoid overcrowding, it is a good idea to keep your walls relatively bare. You can add some small pieces of artwork or frames if you want but make sure that these are not too large and make sure there is space between them. Make sure that you have plenty of empty space around each piece so that the eye can rest on it after looking at other pieces of art or furniture in a room.
This rule applies to both small and large rooms; however, there is one exception: if you have a larger room with high ceilings (or walls), then you should be able to fill it up more easily without making the room appear crowded because it will take up much more space than an average sized room would take up.
Grouping two or three small canvases together will create a focal point in the room.
Grouping two or three small canvases together will create a focal point in the room. For example, if you have a large wall space that needs covering, but don't want to go with one large painting, breaking it up and using smaller pieces will be better. This is also great for decorating an office space. Instead of having just one piece on the wall, use several different ones in different sizes and colours to create an interesting look.
When choosing your art for your home or office, keep in mind how you want people who enter your space to feel about it as well as how it will look when they're there.
Mix the textures and shapes of the frames to give your gallery wall an eclectic feel.
When you’re putting together a gallery wall, it’s tempting to go for the same frame shape and style. After all, they are frames! But don’t be afraid to mix things up a bit by choosing frames of different sizes, shapes and textures.
You can create an eclectic look by choosing frames with unique elements like carved designs or metal finishes. Or if you prefer a more modern feel, try displaying your artwork inside rectangular or square frames. By mixing up your frame choices and styles you can create an eye-catching gallery wall that also has a cohesive feel to it
If you want symmetry in multiple pieces of art, go for similar sizes and frames for each piece.

If they don’t match exactly, try to choose items that are similar in size and shape. This can be tricky if you have a collection of different types of artwork, but it will create a sense of unity that brings everything together.
To achieve symmetry:
-
Measure the space where the artwork will hang (or use a tape measure). If you have more than one item to hang, take measurements from various spots so all items are evenly spaced from each other on both sides of the wall—but avoid placing them at exactly even intervals (a grouping should look random).
To make a grouping of artwork look cohesive, all the pieces should connect with one another in terms of subject matter and colour palette.
To make a grouping of artwork look cohesive, all the pieces should connect with one another in terms of subject matter and colour palette. You can choose a theme that ties your wall art pieces together. For example, if you have a collection of framed photos on your wall and want to add some canvas art above your sofa, you could pick out one or two paintings that are similar to the photos in style and color scheme.
When choosing what type of artwork is right for your home, it's important to consider things like size, material and style while keeping in mind how much space is available on your walls. If you have limited funds but still want something high quality then consider seeking out pieces from local artists/craftspeople rather than buying expensive imported items from galleries which may not fit with existing décor anyway because they weren't designed specifically for residential spaces like houses!
Having proper wall art can transform a room from good to great!
Having proper wall art can transform a room from good to great! The right wall art can highlight furniture and objects in the room, set a mood for the space, add a splash of colour to an otherwise neutral space or all three.
The best way to figure out what kind of wall art you need is by looking at your existing decor, then seeing how it can be enhanced with new pieces.
