If you are missing that finishing touch in your home decor, wall art could be the solution for you. Every room in a home can benefit from a piece of wall art. Whether it’s a kitchen that is missing personality, a bedroom that lacks a theme, or a living room that requires depth, then a painting, canvas, or print should be seriously considered. However, choosing a design can be a tough task. Wall art is personal and deciding between detailed scenery, funky abstracts, and artistic animal art can prove quite difficult, especially when there are so many styles available. But sourcing, purchasing and installing art pieces just became a lot easier, luckily for you. By following the EZ Living Furniture tips below highlighting important factors such as size, theme, colour and wall area, you can be sure that you are picking the perfect designs for your space.
Abstract framed canvases such as Balance, Inspire, and Circles could become the new striking focal point within your home.
Style
A piece of art should invoke a positive feeling when looking at it. It should not only reflect your personality and taste, but should also supply you with emotions such as happiness, excitement, or romance. So, it’s quite simple really. When deciding on which wall art style to choose, make sure that it’s a design that you love.
Of course, its intended location in the home can also play a huge role in selecting the perfect piece of art. After all, you will need to make sure that the colours of the painting or print will not clash with any surrounding walls. However, this shouldn’t be your primary concern because even if you pick something that doesn’t quite match the room it was intended for, you will find a home for it simply because you love it.

Colour
Sometimes it can be easier to just select a print that includes the same colours as the room you wish to place it in, and this can work too. By doing this, you can create consistency and in turn a cohesive and sophisticated result. But, we suggest selecting just one or two colours that are already present in the room and allowing this to guide your decision. Make sure to have fun and play with the shades and tones of these colours. By doing so, you can easily add depth to the overall look of your room.
Theme
Try to select and source new pieces of art based on the theme of your house or a particular room in your home. Each piece will have a style that can blend with and influence other items of furniture and colours. For instance, hanging a beach-themed painting in a bright and contemporary room will not work, but instead, would pair much better with neutral or light elements.

Size
It’s important to note the overall size of the piece that you are looking at purchasing. Remember too, that the available wall space can heavily dictate what can and can’t be hung from the wall. For example, if you pick a painting that is too big for a room, it can dominate it. By choosing a piece of wall art that is too small, it can throw off the balance of that particular room.
Placement
This might surprise you, but wall art doesn’t have to be hung from a wall. It can be placed on a mantlepiece in a living room or rested on a shelf in a bedroom. Just because the word ‘wall’ is in the title doesn’t mean that you can’t get creative with its placement throughout the home. What should still be considered though, is its size. Again, an oversized painting will overpower a mantlepiece rather than add to it.
Paintings, prints, and canvases don't always have to hang on a wall.
Grouping
You may or may not have noticed the recent trend of grouping pictures together on one wall. Using multiple textures, colours and sizes, these pieces will hang non-adjacent to each other and create the ultimate statement in any home. This can work extremely well and although their placements might seem random, they’re not, and there is an awful amount of work involved in getting their positioning just right. This is why we suggest using paper replicas of your pictures in their exact sizes to really envisage how they fit together on a wall before making any permanent changes/holes.
Alternative Home Accessories
There are many other ways to reflect personal taste and style in a home besides using wall art. If wall-hanging art isn’t for you, that’s ok, you may prefer ornaments, mirrors, vases, rugs or even cushions. And these too, are very valuable items within a home. They can also add varying textures, colours and depths to a room. But remember, if you don’t absolutely love it, it doesn’t deserve that coveted spot in your home.
