When it comes to art, don’t go too trendy- sure, you want something that reflects current trends and styles, but you don’t want something that will look dated next year. Stick with timeless pieces that you can enjoy for years to come.

When shopping around for artwork, look for pieces that speak to you personally. You should be able to connect with the artist’s story and feel a sense of pride when you hang it on your wall.

Also consider the size, shape, color, and texture of the piece. Make sure it will fit in nicely with its surroundings- if your walls are covered in bold colors, go for artwork that has more subtle colors to create balance. Or if you have an empty corner that needs filling, try a larger piece to create impact.

Take your time and look around until you find something that really stands out- something that will give your space a fresh feel and make you proud. It’s sure to put a smile on your face whenever you walk into the room.
