Artfully Yours: How to Match Art to Your Decor Like a Pro

So you want to spruce up your space with some amazing art pieces, but you're not sure how to match them to your existing decor. Fear not, we've got some practical tips and tricks to help you select the perfect piece for your space. 

Decor Style

Take a moment to understand your personal style and the vibe of your space. Are you more into clean modern decor, or do you lean towards a collected maximalist look? Coastal or farmhouse? Boho or traditional? Knowing your style will help you narrow down your art choices and ensure they complement, rather than clash, with your decor.

Personality

In additional to considering your decor style, think about the personality of your ideal piece. What vibe does it give off? How does it make you feel: calm, energized, inspired, happy? Look around for inspiration and start a file of art you like. This will come in handy when you’re shopping our shows or working with us to find a similar artwork. 

Color

When it comes to matching art to your decor, color is key. Take a look at the color palette of your space and choose art pieces that complement those colors. You can opt for art that incorporates your existing color scheme or go for a pop of contrasting color to add visual interest. 

Scale and Proportion

Pay attention to the size and scale of your space when choosing art pieces. A small piece of art might get lost on a large empty wall, while an oversized piece could overwhelm a small room. Aim for a balance in scale and proportion to create a harmonious look.

Mix and Match

Don't be afraid to mix and match different art styles and mediums to add depth and personality to your space. Pair a modern abstract painting with a traditional landscape or a whimsical floral painting with figurative study for a dynamic and eclectic look.

Personal Connection

Choosing a piece of art that you connect with brings a sense of joy and fulfillment to your living space. It can be a source of inspiration and reflection, reminding you of your personal experience and the things you value most. We believe that connection with a piece of art is the most important factor in selecting artwork for your home. If you feel an emotional or aesthetic connection to a painting, you're going to love and enjoy it for years to come. 

Gallery Wall

Can’t narrow it down? We get it! If you have multiple art pieces you love, consider creating a gallery wall to showcase them in a cohesive and stylish way. You can mix and match frames, sizes, and styles to create a visually appealing display that reflects your unique taste.

Remember, art is a reflection of your personality and taste, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with it. By following these tips and trusting your instincts, you'll be able to match art to your decor like a pro and create a space that's truly artfully yours. Happy collecting!
