How to Pick the Perfect Piece for Your Home in 20 Minutes (Not Hours!)
Imagine stepping into your home and finally feeling like it’s got that designer look you’ve always dreamed of—warm, stylish, and effortlessly chic. No more endless scrolling through cheap art or second-guessing yourself! I’m here to guide you with expert tips to choose artwork that transforms your space with confidence—making your house feel like your home.
The right timeless abstract artwork doesn’t just fill a wall—it elevates the entire room.
1. Get the Right Size—Scale Matters! 🤭
✔ Over a Couch or Bed: Your artwork should be ⅔ to ¾ the width of the furniture beneath it. Like this.
✔ Gallery Wall? Start with your largest piece in the center and build around it.
✔ Solo Statement Piece? Make sure it fills at least 40% of the wall width for impact.
2. Choose Colors That Work with Your Space 🛋️
✔ Match with What’s Already There: Pull colors from furniture, rugs, or pillows.
✔ Bold or Balanced? Bold art creates contrast in neutral rooms, while subtle tones blend in colorful spaces.
✔ Test It First: Use color swatches or visualizers to see how art fits before committing. (I can help with this—keep scrolling!)
3. Frame & Hang Like a Pro 🖼️
✔ Eye-Level Rule: Center art at least 60 inches from the floor.
✔ Over Furniture? Leave 6-12 inches of space between furniture and the artwork.
✔ Use Painter’s Tape: Tape out various sized outlines on the wall before hanging.
✔ Easy Hanging Hack: Use no-drill picture frame hooks for damage-free mounting. These are my favorite command strip hooks for lighter frames.
