Are you looking to redecorate your home this summer?
One of the things you might want to think of doing is adding some art into the space. We all start off our home lives with blank walls, and over the years we end up filling the spaces with special memories and pieces of art which speak to us. Here are some of the ways you can choose art for your home.
Photos or paintings?
The first question you will want to ask yourself when choosing art for your walls is whether it will be a photograph or a painting. Landscape Photography can produce some stunning wall art for you to enjoy, and paintings can be very unique to your home and add a splash of color. Deciding which one to pick for your home can be hard, but once you have decide you can move onto the next stage.
Think color
What sort of colors do you think will work in your home? When choosing a piece of art for your wall you need think about the different colors you already have in the house. If your living space is already dominated by warm hues, a sunset image or painting could be a wonderful addition to the space. When looking at different ideas for artwork you might want to bring a photograph of your home on your phone with you to see whether it will suit the theme you have in your home.
Collage or single print?
The best decision you will want to make when choosing your art is whether you will have a single print or a collage on the wall. Collages can be fun if you can’t decide on just one photograph or painting, because you can have a mixture of different ones and you can make a huge statement on the wall you choose. This can work particularly well if you have a big blank wall space to work with and this means that you can make a talking point for anyone who comes into the house.
A family gallery
A fun idea if you have children is having a family gallery of sorts in the house which will feature your child’s artwork throughout the early years of their life. This can be featured in the kitchen or on the landing of your first floor so that people will be able to see it as they pass through the house. This can bring a huge sense of family and homeliness to your house and it will show your personality to everyone who visits you.
Stencils
Failing the idea of hanging art directly onto the walls, you could look at buying some fun wall stencils which will give you a lovely pattern on the wall or may even say a phrase which sums up your Home and character. The advantage of stencils is that you don’t have to put a hole in the wall so it means that you don’t have to worry about moving them around over the years.
