Creating a space that feels truly your own can be a deeply rewarding experience. Art plays a significant role in this process, transforming a room from a simple living area into a vibrant expression of your personality and tastes. Here are five tips for invigorating a room with art that connects to you.
Make a Wish by ALINA ZORKINA | Acrylic on canvas, 152 x 90cm
The most powerful art is the kind that stirs something within you. When selecting pieces for your room, think about how they make you feel. Are you drawn to the calm serenity of a landscape painting? Or perhaps the bold, energetic strokes of abstract art ignite your spirit? Choose pieces that evoke emotions and memories, creating a personal connection every time you enter the room.
TIP: Don’t rush the selection process. Spend time looking to find pieces that truly resonate with you.

Diversity in art mediums can add depth and texture to your room. Paintings, photographs, sculptures, and even textiles can all contribute to a rich, layered aesthetic. Combining different mediums also allows you to explore various artistic expressions and stories, creating a more dynamic and engaging space.
TIP: Mix and match different mediums in a cohesive way. For example, a metal sculpture can complement a modern abstract painting, while a vintage textile can add warmth to a contemporary photograph.

Art should complement the existing colour scheme of your room, either by blending in harmoniously or by standing out as a bold accent. Think about how the colours in your chosen art pieces will interact with your walls, furniture, and decor. The right colour combinations can create a balanced and inviting atmosphere.
TIP: Use a colour wheel to help you choose complementary or contrasting colours that will enhance the overall look of your room.

Custom art pieces can add a unique and deeply personal touch to your space. Commissioning an artist to create something specifically for you ensures that the piece is one-of-a-kind and holds special meaning. Custom art can reflect your personal journey, values, and experiences, making your room truly yours.
TIP: Talk with our commissions team about what you want and they can provide you with a selection of artists who may be perfect for your bespoke artwork.

How you display your art can greatly impact the feel of your room. Experiment with different arrangements and placements to find what feels right. Gallery walls, for example, can create a focal point and conversation starter. Alternatively, a large statement piece can set the tone for the entire room.
TIP: Lay out your pieces on the floor before hanging them to visualize different arrangements. Use painter’s tape to mark spots on the wall, ensuring everything is level and spaced evenly.

By choosing pieces that resonate emotionally, incorporating various mediums, considering colour palettes, personalizing with custom art, and playing with placement, you can transform any room into a vibrant and personal sanctuary.
