CHOOSING THE RIGHT ARTWORK FOR YOUR LIVING ROOM

Here is all you need to know about choosing art for your living room.

Living rooms are the core space in a home. It’s that one common square where all the other squares of the house overlap. Whatever be the style of your living room, formal, informal or semi-formal, its purpose is usually to socialize and interact. Thus it’s the one space in the home that deserves a generous dose of art.

Here are 5 reasons why art is a must-have for living rooms:

It’s a great conversation starter: Art brings with itself many perceptions and interpretations that make it a perfect ice breaker when it comes to conversations. How one interprets a piece of art also speaks volumes about one’s views and ideologies of life. In fact, a conversation about art is a great way to understand compatibility.

2. It adds character to a room: It’s like the finishing touch to your living room. Its colors or lack of it, its texture, definition, and personality adds character to a room and makes it a complete picture. Depending on the kind of art you choose, you can lend a contemporary, classic or fusion look to the living room.

3. It is a window into your personality: Whether you are an animal lover or a nature enthusiast, a fun-loving person or a secretive one, have unfulfilled desires or a go-getter, your choice of artwork will define your personality greatly. So choose carefully!

4. Makes a lovely coordinate: One can choose artwork that complements not just the walls of the living room, but also it’s furnishing. A stunning grey cloud patterned rug goes very well with a monsoon inspired artwork. Or a colorful hand-painted cushion coordinates well with an artwork of a villager, or maybe a black and white abstract. Art offers multiple possibilities of mix and match and is a great way to make or complete your decor story.

5. Allows experimentation: Art is the most versatile medium of expression and even within a frame, one can experiment with multiple mediums. Oils, watercolor, mixed media, all work very well in living rooms. Being one of the largest rooms of the house, one can also experiment with sizes, combinations, and paneling to create stories with art.

Once you have decided to invest your time, effort and money in the art (good decision!), and you know how impactful it can be to add that perfect finishing touch to your living room, it’s important to select the right artwork.

Here are valuable tips for choosing the right artwork for your living room:

Identify the right position: The right position of artwork is where it adds value to the room instead of appearing to be a liability tucked in a corner. It has to have visual accessibility and the right amount of light. One must also identify the right orientation depending on the wall you decide to display it on.

2. Contrast or complement: The artwork has to either complement your decor and its color scheme and fuse with it or completely contrast it to stand out. For example, a white-dominated room can either have a stark black and white painting or bright orange and red painting. But a room dominated by pinks and purples might not want to go for a red piece of art.

3. Get the right size: Just like an outfit too loose or too tight can make you look unflattering, an artwork which is not the right size can take away from the beauty of the room and the artwork itself. It’s a good idea to measure the dimensions of your wall before you go out to look for artwork. It is also important to measure the sizes of the furniture it is going be placed above or around (a sofa or a console) and ensure that the size of the artwork doesn’t exceed 2/3rd of the size of the furniture.

4. Choose a piece of art that showcases your personality: As we mentioned earlier, the art you choose defines to a great extent your persona and your taste. So, it’s best to select a piece personally and something that defines who you are, what you believe in and how you view the world. It could be a window to your desires, your inner motives or simply something that you strongly promote.

For a wall art size guide, read this informative guide. You can also check out some suitable art for living rooms curated by our team here. Anything and everything can be a piece of art, depending on how we perceive it and showcase it. Mediums of art are endless. It’s not uncommon to see an heirloom or a traditional embroidery to be framed as a piece of art; dried leaves and even baby’s old clothes make it to the walls. However, for living rooms, we recommend canvas art as the ideal kind of art.

Canvas art is usually of one of the following 3 types:

Representational Art: This kind of art is usually realistic and represents actual subjects from reality. It’s the oldest form of art and is usually sub-categorized into Realism, Impressionism, Idealism, and Stylization. In Realism, one usually creates a truthful and realistic image of the subject, while Impressionism is the artist’s impression of the object depicted with relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes. The focus here is on capturing the light right and depicting the essence of the image artfully. Idealism is the reproduction of an idealistic or beautified image of the subject while Stylization is a skilfully stylized version of the actual object.

2. Abstract Art: Abstract art takes subjects from reality but presents them in a way that is different from how we view them in reality. Here, artists usually use lines, shapes, and colors to transform the subject. The fun part about abstract art is that it leaves a lot to the imagination and allows the viewer to interpret his own version of the artwork, or simply leaves one guessing about what the artist has in mind about the subject. Abstract art includes the subcategories of Minimalism and Cubism. In Minimalism, unnecessary elements of a subject are eliminated to create minimalist forms while Cubism is one of the first abstract styles of modern art where the natural forms of the subject are reduced to their geometrical equivalents.

3. Non-objective art

This type of art is commonly mistaken for Abstract art although it is entirely different from it. Non-Objective art takes nothing from reality. Its sole purpose is aesthetics. Once you have chosen your piece of art, it’s time to highlight it in the right way to make it stand out.

Here are 5 tips on highlighting artwork in your living room

Lighting: It’s best to choose from ceiling lights, track lights, wall washers, and picture lights to highlight your precious piece of art. Experts suggest that ceiling-mounted lights should be placed such that the light beam hits the center of the artwork when the fixture is adjusted to a 30-degree angle. Track lights are usually the right lights for artwork but not the best fit for living rooms since we don’t want something other than artwork jutting out near it. Wall washers are a more casual way to light up artwork but more suited when there are multiple pieces of art on one wall. Picture lights are the lights that have been used traditionally to highlight a specific piece of artwork.

2. Framing: The most common types of frames are ornate gold, wooden frames, metallic frames, and minimalist frames. Ornate gold frames can be used to highlight a simple piece of art elegantly while wooden frames complement wooden or leather furniture well. Metallic frames allow one to pick a color from the artwork and highlight that in the frame while a minimalist frame lets the artwork be the hero and simply provides a definition.

3. Positioning: The safest and most common way to position your artwork is in the center. However, if you are in the mood to experiment, try going off-center, but make sure you have something to balance on the other side. If you are looking to display a bunch of art pieces, opt for an odd number and start from the center.Here are other things that you need to know while selecting art for your living room.

📷https://linhcorner.com/shop/furniture/wall-art-canvas/nordic-art/abstract-women-line-drawing-nordic-posterprints-modern-canvas-painting-wall-art-yellow-girl-wall-picture-bedroom-home-decor/

4. Complementing: Artwork needs to complement your decor in all ways. Repetition of colors from the artwork in the decor increases its impact in the room. To achieve this, opt for furnishings in complementing colors. Or add flowers or plants.

5. Knowledge: It is important to be updated about the artist of the artwork, his style and to gather as much knowledge as possible about the piece of art you possess. After all, you have many conversations that will revolve around it soon.

How To Choose Wall Art For Your Home

Do you have a large blank wall in your home, but don’t know how to use it? Don’t look at this as a challenge, but instead look at it as an opportunity. Take advantage of this empty space and create something that is truly remarkable. Whether you want to hang a few simple pieces or turn the blank space into a bold accent wall, wall art is a great way to express who you are. Art can completely transform the look and feel of your home. Adding these finishing touches is what turns a house into a home. Use our wall art guide below and upgrade any blank wall to a stylish centerpiece

Location

You’ll want to determine where your wall art placement should be. Which room and wall? A living room? A bedroom? Or even a bathroom? Or will it be going in an entryway or hallway? In addition to where the art will be going, it’s important to consider the size of the space to ensure you purchase pieces that enhance the area, not make it feel small and cluttered. All these factors should be considered before a piece of art is purchased.For a dramatic entrance, place a large piece of wall décor facing a doorway or entry point. This will create a commanding viewpoint as soon as your guests walk through your door. For a stunning backdrop, place an art piece to the side of a gathering area. Or if you want to highlight an area, place the art above the featured space.

You can display a single piece by itself or create a personalized collection by featuring it with others. For a complementary look, we also have art that comes in a set. In many times, artwork is the necessary element that can complete an entire room. If you are looking to revamp an outdated space, check out our art style guide for more inspiration.

1. DINING ROOM

Offer a classic and straightforward art piece that resembles the look of other seating pieces in your living room. Think of pieces that are made of wood or are upholstered. This will give a complementary accent to your current home décor pieces.📷

2. BEDROOM

The Bedroom is the perfect area of your home to let your creativity run freely. Use this space to capture your unique personality through different colors and designs. Highlight different areas by featuring a canvas or painting above the space to draw the eyes. Adding a bright piece of wall art above a nightstand or dresser is an excellent way to liven up a space.📷

3. ENTRYWAY

Often times, an entryway can be overlooked when it comes to a home’s interior design. Placing a painting or decorative element in an entryway helps to bring life to a boring hallway. Try adding a subtle canvas with neutral colors and a modern design. You could even add a gallery of photos!

4. FAMILY ROOM

The family room should be bright and welcoming. Don’t forget to take advantage of its styling potential! Whether you want a room that is classic or modern, hang art that showcases your unique style. Create an inviting space by placing canvas art near the main seating area.

DECORATE A BLANK WALL

It doesn’t matter whether you live in a small city apartment or a sprawling country estate—or whether your personal style skews minimalist or maximalist—everyone is eventually confronted with the difficult decision of what to do with that large, windowless wall. Admittedly, many people have a complicated relationship with blank walls. Sometimes, a bare wall can feel refreshing—especially when a room is filled with bold furniture, printed area rugs, and plenty of objets. But more often than not, a blank wall can appear neglected and, let’s face it, boring. So do you want to bring style to every square inch of your space, walls included? Check out these designer-approved ways to give all of your walls the attention they deserve. From statement-making artwork to whimsical wallpaper and everything in between, every idea here is packed with visual intrigue.

Bathroom Canvas Art 2021

Bathroom canvas art has lately become somewhat of a trend. But – there are a few things to consider before jumping on the bandwagon!

People naturally want to exhibit their favorite photos in as many different places as possible – including the bathroom, the kitchen, even the sauna! However, going for less conventional spots also presents a fair share of risks, all of which we’ll address in this article.

📷https://alleycorner.com/product/black-and-white-wash-your-hands-get-naked-bathroom-quotes-posters-prints-canvas-painting-wall-art-for-toilet-wash-room-decor/

Can You Put a Canvas in the Bathroom? In Short – Yes. But…

A traditional canvas print consists of a wooden framework with canvas fabric stretched taut across it. If you buy a good-quality canvas print, the raw materials used should come from carefully chosen sources, and the canvas should have gone through careful processing. But this still won’t make it completely invulnerable to the conditions in which it’s kept – the example here being an unusually humid environment.

📷https://alleycorner.com/product/cute-posters-and-prints-bathroom-room-decor-wall-art-prints-funny-dog-toilet-reading-paper-home-decorative-nordic-canvas-art/

Generally speaking, it’s okay to display your canvas prints in the bathroom, but you should avoid putting your canvas art too close to the source of humidity. As long as your canvas is a fair distance away from the bath or shower, it will last a good number of years.

However, the question is whether you want to enjoy it for only a good number of years or experience the full archival quality of our prints.

Sure, the combination of high-quality spruce wood and tough canvas cloth (canvas being one of the most durable fabrics produced) makes for a hard-wearing photo print. But you can expect that both wood and fabric will suffer some consequences if they’re kept long-term in a humid environment. And that’s regardless of any “protective layer” claims made by the seller.

📷https://alleycorner.com/product/dog-reading-newspaper-toilet-wall-art-canvas-poster-prints-funny-dog-painting-wall-picture-home-bathroom-decor-dogs-lover-gift/

To be clear though – the combination of premium-quality materials and UV-proof inks used for every print provides you with a wall decor piece of truly outstanding quality. If it’s stored under regular conditions, you can expect your photo canvasto last for decades looking just as it did upon arrival.

Your print will put up very stiff resistance to the ravages of time wherever it’s kept – but there’s no guarantee that it will last as long if it’s stored in a damp environment. So before you display any canvas print in the bathroom, decide how much you’re prepared to compromise on durability.

Can You Protect Your Canvas By Hanging It as Far as Possible from the Source of Humidity?

If you’re lucky enough to have a palatial bathroom, good for you. But even keeping the widest distance possible between your print and the source of humidity won’t completely eliminate the risks. The fact is, steam spreads pretty quickly.

📷

A more effective way to delay the deterioration process is to leave a gap between the back of the canvas and the wall, thus ensuring a constant flow of air between the two. This will prevent the moisture from getting trapped behind the canvas, which often happens when canvas prints are hung flush to the wall.

But for those of you who are determined to grace your bathroom walls with your own precious photos but who want to minimize the potential for damage, it’s worth thinking about another solution…

Formats Such As Acrylic Prints are Built to Endure Tough Conditions

If there’s one thing that’s made to resist high moisture levels, it’s glass. Has no shortage of products that are covered with this plucky substance. A case in point – photo acrylic prints.

📷https://alleycorner.com/product/heart-floral-abstract-canvas-painting-brain-flower-wall-canvas-art-poster-print-wall-pictures-for-living-room-home-decoration/

An alternative to canvas available at only a slightly higher price, the acrylic print sees your photo shielded by a sheet of hardened plexiglass that’s both water and UV resistant. And the format offers more than exceptional performance – it’s visually stunning too. As well as enhancing the original colors of your photo, acrylic glass provides an eye-catching sheen which completes the format’s irresistible premium look.

With its sophisticated gloss effect, acrylic glass is the go-to option if you want to make your bathroom feel more personal and cozy. Meticulously cut and polished, radiant from any angle, it makes the perfect alternative to hanging canvas prints in the bathroom.

Where the kitchen wall art steals concerts

We often shop for artwork to fill out a gallery wall in the living room or create an eye-catching display in an entryway, but hanging art in the kitchen? It isn’t as common—or at least it didn’t seem as common until we saw the stunning spaces below. No matter your style, budget, or kitchen setup, we bet you’ll find at least a few looks that you’ll potentially want to copy in your own space. The moral of the story? Art belongs in kitchens just as much as it does in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms.

1. Have Fun with Photography

Black-and-white photography may not be the first style on your mind when it comes to art for the kitchen, but we have to say that the oversized picture above looks good, particularly with the dark cabinets. If you’re a photography fanatic, you can even consider printing and framing one of your own shots! This example is a portrait, but you could always use a vacation shot or a landscape.

2. Use the Space Above Your Cabinetry

If your cabinets don’t stretch all the way to the ceiling, feel free to treat their tops as an art ledge, where you can lean paintings, photographs, or even showcase a collection of quirky objects

📷https://alleycorner.com/product/clstrose-3-pieces-unframed-mooern-cherry-fruits-pictures-home-decor-dinning-room-kitchen-decor-painting-on-the-wall-art-posters/

3. Create a Kitchen Focal Point

Make use of space above your sink and hang art there for some added intrigue. The pop of color may even make dish washing a little more fun. This is also a particularly great idea if you don’t have a nearby window to look out of in your kitchen. Make your own scenery!

📷

4. Go Abstract

Have a wall or two that flanks your cook space?  Consider framing out your kitchen with an abstract print or set of prints. Don’t be afraid to go abstract. Here, the blue and white print complements the orange leather stools at the kitchen island.

5. Create a Peaceful Scene

Who doesn’t want to dream about a tropical getaway while tackling meal prep and other chores? it’s the perfect spot to showcase a special picture or photo.

6. Try a Collage

If you have a sideboard or buffet in your kitchen, you can do what this South Africa-based homeowners did with their record player cabinet—set it off with a large scale collage or mixed media piece of artwork hanging above it. Remember that if you have other pictures mounted around the room, matching the frames might be a good strategy for creating balance and making sure the overall look is visually cohesive.

THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN YOUR FAVOURITE HOODIE!

There’s no better layering piece than the tried and true hoodie. Every girl has one in their wardrobe, and it’s not hard to see why. Hoodies for women are cosy, comfy and come in so many styles – it’s impossible to pick just one! If you’re looking for a fresh full zip, plush pullover, or something in between, we’ve got the guide you need for choosing the best hoodie. Check out our current faves:

FULL ZIP HOODIES

The full zip hoodie is the real OG, and one that every girl needs in her wardrobe. Classic full zips are great for when you have a trendy top underneath that you want to show off. Full zips are also easy to zip up or down, letting you warm up or cool off without having to take your hoodie off completely.

OVERSIZED HOODIES

The latest hoodie trend? The bigger the better! It’s not hard to see why oversized hoodies are so popular – they’re bold, comfy and make a statement. You can wear them with boyfriend jeans for a laid back look, or pair with simple black leggings to make your hoodie the centre of attention. We especially love oversized hoodies for women with subtle feminine touches like lace-up details and pastel colourways.

PULLOVER HOODIES

Pullovers are every girl’s low key  favourite. They’re super comfy and cosy, and with no zipper in the way it feels just like wearing a blanket.

CROPPED HOODIES

These fun and flirty numbers have been trending like mad on instagram!  Cropped hoodies combine the 90’s crop top vibe with the classic, cosy feel we expect from our trusted hoodies. These are great for late spring or early autumn when it’s just warm enough to show some skin, but you can also wear them through the winter with high waist leggings or a tank underneath.

GYM & RUNNING HOODIES

Don’t sweat – sparkle! If you’re into running, cardio, or weights, a performance hoodie is essential. Unlike normal hoodies which are usually soft, cosy and heavy, gym hoodies tend to be smooth, breathable and lighter weight. Both styles are comfortable, but fitness hoodies are better suited for your workout. Gym hoodies for women typically have smooth, flat seams that feel soft against the skin. Running hoodies keep you covered from the wind and rain, and usually have reflective elements to keep you visible on early morning and evening runs.

the boys room idea

Designing a boys’ bedroom comes with its challenges. While you may want to forgo the neon walls, superhero bedding, and stacks of toys, the occupant of the room might have other ideas. It could be tempting to succumb to the requests of your young one, but remember that his tastes are still evolving. Also, there are plenty of chic ways to meet in the middle with ideas that are youthful and also refined.

WILD WALL MURAL

While some kids love superheroes, others spend their time getting lost in the pages of fairy tales. One way to create a bedtime theme is to prominently use characters from a favorite story as a design element

NAUTICAL-INSPIRED

Choosing a nautical theme for a boys’ room is an easy way to create a fun, adventurous space in a chic manner. The bright blues of the bed frames, window frames, and accents are young and exciting, but they can also be reworked into an adult space over time.

YOUTHFUL YET MATURE

For an easy transition from childhood into teen years and adult life, consider decorative elements that are equally youthful and mature. A map on the wall can be an interactive piece for a young child, while its unique coloring makes it a perfect accent for an adult. The complementary scattered blues are energetic but lend a tranquil vibe.
