One of the most challenging parts of owning a home is deciding how to decorate it. You’ll want artwork that reflects your personality, but you’ll also want pieces that are unique and appeals to your guests. Choosing the right artwork for your home is a delicate balance between selecting ones that speak to your style and ones that complement the rest of your furniture, creating a comprehensive atmosphere.

Art is an investment, which means you can take it with you wherever you go. It can even become more valuable over time. You can spend as little or as much as you want on it, giving you plenty of freedom to find art that suits your taste. Whether you want metal sculptures or heritage pieces from your travels, you’ll have to make sure it matches the rest of the space.
Here are a few tips for decorating your home with artwork:

Don’t Forget the Kitchen

Many people forget that the kitchen is a space that can be as beautiful as you want it to be since it is mainly known for its utility. For this reason, homeowners often neglect to put artwork in the kitchen despite it being the ‘heart of the home.’ As one of the most used rooms in the home, you’ll need to add art here.

However, since kitchens are often tightly packed with appliances, drawers, and other components, it’s best to stick to smaller pieces that flatter the space instead of overwhelm it. It’s also more ideal to choose funny or cheerful pieces since your household gathers here often.

Choose Relaxing Art for the Bedroom

Your bedroom is your sanctuary, being the ultimate place to rest and relax. The artwork you choose for this space should reflect that. Choose a large painting to go over your bed and hang it at eye level, which will tie your bedroom nicely. Opt for abstract pieces with calming tones and colors, which will help you unwind every time you enter. You can also opt for desaturated landscape photos if you’re a photography fan. Additionally, use minimalist frames to let the art speak for itself. View all of Mark White’s stunning paintings, click HERE.

A Rotating Gallery for the Office

If you have an office, you’ll want to strike a balance between focus and inspiration. You’ll want the artwork to motivate you without being too loud or distracting. To do this, you can create a rotating gallery, requiring a long floating ledge shelf installed over your workspace. Then, pick out pieces of artwork to hang, and make sure they’re of different sizes to engage your attention. When you get bored of these, you can easily swap them out.

Go All Out for the Living Room

If you’ve been itching to fill a room with artwork, your living room is the perfect place to do it. This is the room your guests will see, so it’s essential to go all out here. What’s important is that you choose art that ties the rest of the space together, creating an unforgettable character for your home. For instance, if you have a monochromatic living room, put a contemporary sculpture in it to spice things up (click HERE to see all of Mark’s contemporary sculptures). 

Serene Pieces for the Bathroom

Like the kitchen, many people forget to decorate their bathrooms with artwork since it is prioritized for its utility. In this area, choose art that matches the bathroom’s atmosphere. For example, if you’re decorating a powder room on the first floor, choose fun, engaging pieces. If you’re decorating the master bathroom, opt for calming artwork that makes you feel relaxed.
Bathroom art works best in pairs, so you may want to consider choosing a set of two that are stacked or arranged side by side. Put them over the toilet, bathtub, or towel rack.

Dress Up Your Garden

Artwork isn’t just for inside the house—it can go outside, too! Decorate your garden with interesting pieces, like kinetic wind art or other kinds of wind sculptures (click HERE to see our full collection), which are sure to start a conversation with your guests. It will also make your property stand out while reflecting your good taste.
