Hey, design enthusiasts! I'm Eunice, the creative force behind Crown the Cool, your Boston-based interior design studio. Today, let's dive into the art of choosing and displaying artwork that'll make your space pop.
TIP 1: PICKING NEW ART FOR YOUR HOME
Biggest take away from this entire post you need to pick from your heart. Art isn't just about aesthetics; it's about emotions, stories, and personal connections. So, when choosing art for your home, let your heart lead the way. It's like finding the perfect beat for a dance party – it has to resonate with your vibe.
Here in Boston, we're lucky to have a thriving art scene, so get out there and explore local galleries and artists. As a Boston Interior Designer, it’s my role to help my clients find art that resonates with their soul. Whether it's abstract, contemporary, or classic, pick pieces that make your heart sing. When you walk into a room and feel an instant connection with your art, that's when you know you've struck gold!
TIP 2: HOW TO MIX AND MATCH STYLES
One of my signature styles is mixing vibes. It can be really scary to mix and match a style, yet it is one of the easiest ways to create a unique environment. I am here to tell you as you eclectic Boston interior decorator, that you should not be afraid to mix and match different art styles and mediums. Eclectic is the name of the game! Combining various pieces can create a dynamic and visually stimulating atmosphere.
Imagine a room with a bold, contemporary painting hanging beside a vintage poster – it's like a conversation between the past and the present. Experiment with contrasting elements, and you'll be amazed at how they can harmonize and create an entirely new vibe.
My biggest tip is to start by identifying style types that you like. Start by picking three style types and make a Pinterest board for each of them and then decide which elements would work well together. Don’t forget, have fun with it.
TIP 3: HOW TO HANG ART INTENTIONALLY
Now, let's talk about the art of displaying art (pun absolutely intended). How and where you place your pieces can make all the difference. For instance, consider eye-level placement for those pieces that are meant to be admired up close and personal. Larger artworks can anchor a room when placed at the center of attention, while smaller pieces can add delightful surprises in unexpected corners. One of my favorite hacks is to use toothpaste on the back of where you want the nail to go in the wall and press the art against the wall with the toothpaste to mark where the nail should go.
Also, don't forget about lighting! Proper lighting can transform the way art is perceived. There are so many amazing light sources you can grab off amazon without breaking the bank.
Here are a few of my favorites:
So, use spotlights or wall sconces to highlight your art, turning them into the stars of your room.
Remember, darlings, your space is your canvas, and art is your brush. Don't be afraid to experiment and let your personality shine through your choices. When your home reflects who you are, it becomes a haven of creativity and inspiration.
So, as you embark on your artful adventures, keep these tips close to your heart. Let the art you choose tell your story and elevate your space into a masterpiece.
