Choosing the right piece of art can feel overwhelming, but here are some tips to help you confidently select the perfect art for your home.
Art is a personal choice that can deeply impact your emotions and your space. Consider what speaks to you, what colours attract you, and the subject matter that resonates with you.
Purchasing art is an investment in your home and your well-being. My main advice is to simply choose art that you love. The process of choosing art is intuitive, and no one knows your preferences better than you do.
Think of your walls as a blank canvas, an opportunity to showcase your personality through art. Art has the power to make your space uniquely your own.
I hope this guide inspires you to find the right artist and a piece of art that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Find the perfect art style for you
Think about the style of art you love. This is a great starting point for researching artists whose work aligns with your style. Understanding what you love will help you find and connect with an artist who represents your style and energy.
To help you figure out what you love, consider the following:
– What colours are you drawn to?
– What style of art are you attracted to? Abstract? Bold? Colourful? Maximalism? Minimal? Calm? Pastel tones?
Also, consider your home or office space where you would like the art to be displayed. This will help you understand what size you would like your art piece to be.
Consider the style and mood of the room:
– What do you want the art to represent?
– Do you want the piece to be engaging in a conversation?
– Do you want the art to uplift the mood through colour or subject?
Remember, your art doesn’t have to match your decor. I love bold, bright colours and contrasting patterns.
Do not rush the decision with your purchase, take your time and you will end up with a timeless piece. Don’t be swayed by what is on trend or what other people have, trends change, if a piece of art doesn’t evoke an emotion it’s not the right piece for you. The reason for buying a piece of art doesn’t always have to be hugely deep and meaningful, if you fall in love with a piece of art because you like the textured markings the paintbrush has made, that is enough reason to hang something on your walls. Art will bring your rooms to life and give them a beautiful unique personality. Art on the walls makes a house a home, it’s the finishing touches.
How to find an artist
Instagram is an excellent platform for discovering independent artists. You can use specific keywords to search for the type of art you are interested in, such as “local artist in Manchester.” This allows you to connect with artists, share inspiration, and even arrange to visit their studios to see if their work resonates with you. Additionally, consider exploring local independent galleries to connect with artists in your area.
The size of the art
Once you have chosen an artist that fits your taste and home, you can start narrowing down your search. Make sure to consider the size of the art as an important factor. I recommend that the bigger the art, the greater the impact.
Good luck with your adventure of finding a wonderful piece of art you will cherish.
