No one wants to look at plain, bare walls at home, which is why custom wall art is such a great addition to your decor. Even if you have some ideas in mind, there are some considerations to make to ensure you'll love the finished product. Here are a few essential factors to consider when you're looking to spruce up your home. 

 

 

How to Choose Custom Wall Art You Love

 

1. Decide on a Location

The first step is to consider the room where you'll place the art. Many people let their creative impulses flow when selecting a piece for the bedroom, as it will usually be for your eyes only. When it comes to the living room or dining room, look for a selection that is inviting and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere in the home. 

Next, consider where in the room you'll be hanging the piece. If you want it to catch the eye of your visitors, consider hanging it above the entryway. In the bedroom, hanging art over the headboard creates a bold and dramatic look. You can also place the piece across from the dining room table to ensure it's within everyone's view while enjoying a meal. 

 

2. Select a Size

Size is an equally important consideration. Fortunately, custom wall art is available in well almost any size you wish, from mini to oversized (like this My Old Kentucky Home piece) If you want to cluster pieces in one space, choose a few mini, small, and medium selections to hang strategically - with the same spacing between each piece. Choose a large or oversized piece if you have a bigger space you're trying to fill up. Just make sure the size matches the area. For example, a large piece in a small space can seem overwhelming, while a small piece in a compact room will get lost. 

 

3. Think About Colors

You don't always have to bring a lot of color into all decor. In our opinion, its best to bring in neutral or natural colors with 1-2 other colors or color tones. However, if bright and bold is your style , go with it! 

Different colors evoke different emotions. Red is associated with fiery passion and excitement, while greens and blues are associated with a calm, relaxed feeling. On the other hand, yellows and oranges are linked to a bright, upbeat atmosphere. The good thing is, wood tones go with all decor. We can add a stain or even a neutral white paint to ensure we are complimenting the current decor.

 Additionally, think about the existing color scheme in the room. Your wall decor doesn't have to match exactly, but it should mesh with the other colors utilized in the area.
