Home Interior Design Tips on Decorating your Space with Wall Art

How to Decorate your Space with Wall Pictures If a room in your house lacks character, by simply placing some fine art prints on the walls can actually make quite an impact.

Wall pictures are a necessary accessory in your home and are great to tie in with the room\'s style and color accent. Before you go off to buy some new pictures for your walls there are a few things you need to plan and decide upon. Here is a home interior design guide on how to decorate your space with wall art. Shop for Wall Art by Room The kind of home you have and the mood, ambience and style of decor you create, should be perfectly designed to suit your lifestyle. Deciding on a style for your room should be determined by the lifestyle you choose and not by what\'s the latest home interior design trend. Whichever room you are wanting to decorate, whether it be your bedroom, living area, kitchen or office space, you need to decide what you want to get out of that space. For example: do you want to hold dinner parties or entertain? do you want a quiet retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle? Is this an area for the kids to play in? Is this a room for your hobby? Once you have decided what you want to use the room for, you can now choose a color theme to suit the function of the room. For example, mellow greens and neutrals for your \'quiet retreat room\', lively yellow for the kids room, or pale tranquil blue for your office space. So far we have established the function and color of the room in question, this then gives us the basis on choosing the right art prints for the area. For example: bright colorful cartoon pictures for the kids room mellow pastel floral pictures for your quiet retreat area, or tranquil landscape and scenic pictures for your office space Choose your Style Like paint color, artwork can immediately establish or change a room\'s mood. Not only can it pull the room together, but you can use it to create a style uniquely your own. traditional & classic modern contemporary fun & entertaining casual romantic The style of the room is totally dependent on your own personal taste and this is the time when you can inject your own personality into the room through artwork and textured accessories. Suggested art picture styles: Fun & Entertaining: Pictures can include bright colors both in the print and on the frame. Fun and entertaining pictures can include kittens and puppies, or comedian actors such as the Three Stooges or Laurel & Hardy. Modern: With the strong black accents in the framed iron-work and the tapestries, striking black and white photos are a natural choice for a modern and sophisticated look. Calm Retreat: To reinforce the mood of a nestled, cozy retreat, use artwork with neutral, earthy colors and a horizontal landscape subject. You can even mix and match different styles to create a unique style of your own. For example, frame traditional black and white photo prints in a modern black iron frame. Arranging and Hanging your Pictures In order to get the maximum effect of your wall pictures in terms of adding character and a focal point to the room, you need to decide where and how you want to hang them. Here are some suggestions to help you decide how to get the best effects from your pictures:- Modern Gallery Look: To create a modern art gallery feel, particularly nice in hallways, lobbies and stairwells, give each piece ample breathing room. Stand at the center of the first piece and take one swift, or two small steps along the wall. This is a good center for the next piece. Above a Sofa: When placing art above furniture such as a sofa, you need to hang the picture about six to nine inches above the sofa, or at eye level. Cluster Arrangements: Tightly group an even number of pictures together to give a statement or a focal point. This works on either large or small wall spaces, depending on the look you want. In a row: By placing an odd number of pictures in a horizontal line to each other gives balance and the sense of space. This works well in hallways or stairwells. By deciding where and how to hang your pictures, whether it be a tight cluster or a single print above a sofa, you can then determine the size and shape of the pictures you need to buy. When you have decided on the room\'s function, color and style, you are in a much better position to go shopping for wall pictures that fit in with the overall theme. Summary Wall pictures are an underestimated home interior design accessory. This is probably because most people do not know what to do with their pictures in order to get the maximum effect in a room. Before you go hanging up your pictures make sure you plan ahead what you want to get out of that room. Decide on the function, style and color of the room first before you buy your artwork. By doing this you are in a much better position to buy the right type of art picture to fit in with the theme and color accent of your room.
