5 Tips: How to Choose Wall Art for Your Home


Decorating your home can be an exciting yet challenging task. Hanging prints is a fantastic way to express your personality and style. But with so many options available, it can be challenging to decide which prints will not only enhance your space but also bring you joy.

Here are our five essential tips to help you choose the perfect wall art for your home:

  1. Consider the Room's Purpose

Every room in your home serves a different purpose, and the wall art should reflect that. For example:

  • Living Room: This is typically a place for gathering and relaxation. Choose pieces that inspire conversation and reflect your personality.
  • Bedroom & Bathroom: Go for calming and serene artwork, such as abstract prints or nature photography, to create a peaceful environment.
  • Home Office: Opt for motivational and inspiring art like maps of your favorite cities or dynamic digital art that energizes the space.
  • Nursery or children's room: Select pieces that are colorful and fun that your children will engage with. Themes such as animals and space are perfect to add a touch of wonder and spark your little ones imaginations.
  1. Consider Your Style and Theme

Before you start browsing, think about the overall style and theme of your home. Are you leaning towards a modern, minimalist look or something more traditional and cozy? Do you prefer bright and vibrant colors or a more subdued palette? Choosing prints that complement your existing décor will create a cohesive and harmonious look.

Example: For a modern living room, you might choose abstract or minimalist black-and-white photography. If your space is more rustic, nature and landscape prints would be a perfect fit.

Tip: For a cohesive look, choose prints with colors that complement or accentuate your existing décor.

  1. Think About the Space and Size

The size of the print is crucial to how it fits within a space.  A large, stunning piece can serve as a focal point in a room, while smaller prints work well in clusters or on gallery walls.  Measure the wall space where you plan to hang the print and keep those dimensions in mind when selecting your artwork. Consider using a mix of sizes to create an eye-catching gallery wall.

Tip: Cut out paper to the size of the prints you are thinking of buying and tack them to the wall to get an idea of how those sizes will work in your space.

  1. Personal Connection

Your home should reflect your personality and experiences. Choose prints that you connect with on a personal level, whether it's a photograph of a place you've visited, a scene that evokes fond memories, or a piece of digital art that resonates with your interests.

Tip: Personal touches make your home uniquely yours and add depth and meaning to your décor.

  1. Quality Matters

When investing in art for your home, you want to ensure that it's high quality. Prints should be clear, vibrant, and durable. This is where purchasing from a reputable store, like ours, ensures that you're getting the best quality prints that will stand the test of time.

Tip: Look for prints made with materials to maintain their beauty for years to come.

 

Choosing photography prints for your home is a wonderful way to personalize your space and showcase your sense of style. By considering your existing décor, selecting the right sizes, thinking about the mood you want to create, choosing images with personal connections, and ensuring high quality, you can curate a stunning collection of prints that brings joy and inspiration to your everyday life.
