  Here are some basic tips to keep in mind when selecting an artwork:

 
 
  • Quantity: Do you want one large work of art on your wall, or an arrangement of several small pieces?

    When grouping small works together, make sure there is a symmetry or balance to the arrangement.

  • Size: Choose the size of your artwork in relation to the size of your wall space, as well the overall dimensions of your room.

 
 
  • Style: Whether your home is country, eclectic, or "shabby chic", the style of your artwork should compliment, not clash, with the style of your home.

  • Color: If the colors of your room are predominantly greens with yellow accents, you could choose an artwork that has yellows to play up your accent color. If your room is predominantly yellow, you could choose an artwork that is mostly purple, the complimentary color to yellow.

  And whatever you end-up deciding on, remember that the most important criteria is to always choose artwork that you like!
