Choosing the Right Size
An artwork should fill roughly two-thirds of the wall or furniture piece it hangs above. For large walls, one big piece works better than several small ones. Measure your wall before shopping, and remember that a piece that looks large in a store can appear small on a big wall.
Colors and Mood
Choose art that harmonizes with the room's color palette, or use it as a deliberate contrast point. Pop art with bold colors can elevate a neutral room and give it character. Consider the mood you want: energetic and playful, or calm and sophisticated.
Room by Room
In the living room, larger eye-catching pieces that spark conversation work best. In the bedroom, calmer subjects and muted tones create a restful atmosphere. In a home office, an inspiring artwork can boost creativity and make the workday more motivating.
Original or Print?
An original work is unique and can be an investment that grows in value over time. Prints let you enjoy the art you love at a lower price point, and quality prints stay beautiful for years. Both can be the right choice depending on your budget and goals.
Placement and Hanging
The center of the artwork should hang at eye level, roughly 150 cm from the floor. Above a sofa, leave 15-20 cm between the couch and the frame. Good lighting makes a big difference, and a simple spotlight can truly highlight the piece.
