So many wonderful artist, so many genres. What captivates you?
Educate yourself beginning with going to art fairs, museums, and art galleries. Decide what you like, talk to art consultants and collectors. Buying the first piece can be intimidating when you feel like everyone knows whats going on except for you. But it’s not that hard.
Does it intrigue you when starring at Norman Rockwell's dreamy works, Edward Hoppers lonesome figures, or Degas? Get to know these famous artists.
3 Rules
Follow the color scheme if the space has already been furnished
When choosing wall art its crucial to know your color scheme. A basic rule of thumb is to select an art piece that will match your room without detracting from any of the design elements that are in it.
Follow the theme of your room
As with all other pieces of art, there is a range of styles that you can choose from. There are landscapes, flowers, abstract and many others that can be found in artwork so you really need to make sure that the theme in the picture does not clash with the theme in your room.
Proportions
First, take a tape measure and get the dimension of the space that needs the artwork. Once you have those dimensions, you will have a better idea of what you would like in a piece.
Make sure that the art matches the size of the wall. For the former, it may not fit, and for the latter, it may appear out of place in the room.
