Living with Art at Home

If you're like most, your home is the central gathering place for your closest friends and family– and today, it may also be your place of business. So why not liven your surroundings and express yourself with the bold, imaginative details of art?

The language of art is line, shape, color, and texture. Keep this in mind when creating your visual surrounding be it a painting to complement the color of a chair of sofa, a sculpture to that sites on the mantle of your fireplace, or a wall of family portraits or travel photography. 

By choosing the right art, you can create a sophisticated and stylish space that reflects your personal taste and brings joy and serenity to your everyday life. Here are a few tips to get started.

1. Choose a focal point
Choose a focal point for your living room and design around it. For example, if you have a fireplace, you could hang a piece of art above it. Or, if you have a large window, you could choose a piece of art that will complement the view. Once you have selected a focal point, you can start shopping for the perfect piece of art.

2. Use different types of art to create visual interest
By hanging different types of art on the walls, you can add depth and texture to the space. For example, a group of small paintings can add charm to a room, while a large painting can make a bold statement. 

3. Experiment with color and pattern
Don't be afraid to experiment with color and pattern. Bold paintings, sculptures, and photographs can really make a statement. Pattern is another great way to add interest. You can also hang a series of prints or canvases with coordinating colors or themes. 

4. Don't forget the importance of lighting when designing with art
The right lighting can really make or break a piece of art. Too much light can wash out the colors and make the piece seem flat. Not enough light can make it difficult to see the details of the work. Think overhead lighting, floor lamps, and table lamps.

By following these simple tips, you can create a living space that is both stylish and welcoming.
