Art has an amazing ability to change a room. It adds character, color, and emotion, making your space truly yours. Whether you live in a cozy apartment, a spacious house, or a modern loft, selecting the right art can enhance your environment significantly. But how can you find that wall art that reflects your style and fits harmoniously into your space? In this blog post, we’ll cover key considerations to help you select art that you’ll love for years to come.
Understand Your Personal Style
Before looking for art, it's crucial to know your style. Take a moment to examine your space and décor. Do you lean towards minimalist designs, or do vibrant, eclectic pieces call your attention?
Identifying your aesthetic creates a strong basis for your art choices. I believe that art reflects our true self. The colors, subjects such as animals, colors, and shapes that resonate with us are what touch our hearts. Whether it is an abstract or figurative painting, our intuition guides us to what connects with our inner selves.
Evaluate Your Space
Once you know your style, consider the space where the art will hang. Size, color scheme, and the overall feel of the room play crucial roles in picking the right piece. In my gallery you will see that I offer various sizes of artworks. I have "small paintings" serie for example and also large paintings that are organized in themes. Discover them under each sections below:
Which speaks to you the most?
Size Matters
Is there a large wall begging for attention? A big art piece can become the main attraction, drawing eyes across the room. For example, a 48 x 60 inch canvas can dominate a wide wall, while a cozy nook may benefit from a collection of smaller pieces. A gallery wall made up of 4 to 6 smaller artworks can create visual interest.
Color Compatibility
What colors dominate your space? If your room features soft tones, opt for bright, colorful pieces for contrast. For instance, a bright painting can add vibrancy to a neutral living room.
Style Harmony
Ensure the art matches the overall vibe of your room. For example, a traditional oil painting may clash with sleek, modern furnishings. Instead, aim for art that resonates with the existing decor while enhancing it.
"Every painting serves as a means to enhance your space and provide daily inspiration. It has the ability to empower or soothe you. Personally, I enjoy crafting paintings with an ethereal ambiance that offers both empowerment and relaxation."
Consider the Mood
Art can shape the atmosphere of a room. Think about the mood you want to create.
Calm and Serene
Do you want relaxation? Choose art with soft pastel colors or calming landscapes.
The artwork I made is called The Sun Melted with the Sea, featuring lovely pastel hues depicting sunflowers and the blue tones of the Mediterranean sea.
Think About the Artwork’s Theme
The theme of the art piece can influence how it relates to you.
Personal Connection
Choose art that speaks to you personally. This could be a piece that represents a beloved vacation spot, like a painting of a beach that brings back joyful memories. If hiking is your passion, a stunning mountain range might be a perfect choice.
If you have a beloved or symbolic animal, my portrait paintings may deeply connect with you.
Do I frame it?
The frame is just as vital as the art!
However, it can also be hung as is. Some of the paintings I have made are on gallery wrapped canvas and do not require framing.

Remember, selecting art is a personal journey, and there are no strict rules. Trust your instincts and allow art to motivate you in your space.
