When it comes to decorating your home, art is an essential part of the mix.
If you’re new to purchasing art or simply looking for some advice, Gallery Manager Chris Morgan shares expert insights on how to pick artwork for your home based on some of the most common questions people ask when buying art.
How Do You Choose the Right Artwork for Your Home?
"A great way to start is by thinking about how you want the art to impact the space. Whether you’re looking for something that calms you or energises the room, art can act as an emotional trigger in your home."
What Type of Art Should I Choose for Different Rooms?
"If you’re after a piece to transport you to another place, contemporary landscape paintings are a perfect choice. They can act as a window into the world and work very well in your master bedroom or living room."
What Is Figurative Art and How Do I Display It?
"Figurative art, one of the broadest genres, often includes representations of the human figure and real-world subjects. This genre tends to be more thought-provoking and is perfect for spaces like hallways where it can prompt reflection as you move through your home. For displaying figurative pieces, think about placing them in high-traffic areas where they can spark conversation."
How Can I Add Energy and Calmness to My Space with Art?
"Abstract art is a fantastic option if you’re looking to add a dynamic feel to your space. Known for its expressive brushstrokes, abstract art can bring both energy and calmness, depending on the piece. Whether you have a neutral interior that needs a splash of colour or a modern home where you want to highlight sleek lines, abstract art can fit seamlessly."
Should I Choose Pop Art or Street Art for My Home?
"If you'd like to make a statement, Pop Art or Street Art is the way to go. Designed to grab attention and hold it. If you want to create an impact in your home,
Pop Art or Street Art will do just that. I recommend hanging in spaces where you like to entertain, such as your main lounge area or on the way to the bathroom or bedroom, adding a playful touch to your home."
Selecting art for your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By asking the right questions—such as what type of art suits your space or how to make the right investment—you can confidently choose pieces that complement your style and transform your home.
