How do you get it right? Styling your home is so much fun, but what about those bare walls?<\/p>\n
You can go minimalist and keep it very simple, which works well when your views are the real art.<\/p>\n
Amazing ocean vistas, views over mountains, glitzy urban lights, or your “own view” with an amazing garden all become “moving art” luring your eye out.<\/p>\n
Not all of us have this, so art is important and choosing art can be tough.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s so much to consider; style and colour, scale and the relationship to the elements of your room. Choices are endless.<\/p>\n
Art creates an emotional response. It can be thought provoking or calming, or just add to the overall ambience of your home.<\/p>\n
Choosing the right piece is really a personal preference. Does the piece resonate with you?<\/p>\n
Does it have some significance or meaning? If it does then have a look at your interior and determine whether the style of the piece, colour and frame, will work?<\/p>\n
Interiors need a focal point, and art is perfect, whether over a bed, in a living room, or over a sideboard.<\/p>\n
If your room already has a focal point, perhaps a dramatic pendant light, consider if the art will compliment or fight with it. However, if your heart is set on a special piece, you may need to play with you interior to get the balance right.<\/p>\n
Often people talk about interior styling rules, and while there are guidelines, there are amazing exceptions, and people to take a risk. Some of the incredible artists and designers in history all took risks.<\/p>\n
