Can you believe it? Christmas will soon be a distant memory, and 2021 will soon become a historical date in the book (for all the wrong reasons). The world is both eager to see this year pass and apprehensive about what the future holds.
The New Year is a time to make resolutions and set goals for the future. It's also a time when families often reflect on their recent pasts, putting effort into making room in their homes for new memories. With that in mind, we've compiled some tips to help you plan your framing art decor additions wisely this New Year:
The use of art in interior design is critical. The collection you arrange and put should create a pleasant atmosphere, whether it's a big room or a modest one. Make sure the colour scheme you choose for your displays and focal point blends well with the rest of the decor. Try framing your pieces with a natural or neutral shade; lighter tones will make the space feel larger.
Your foyer is often overlooked when it comes to decor, but this doesn't mean you should spend less time on it than other rooms in your home. Use art to personalize the area by putting up family photos, paintings of flowers or landscape scenes, or even chalkboard-painted canvases for writing down notes and messages. The key here is balance: if you're using colourful prints try complementing them with greys, whites, and neutrals so that they don't overwhelm one another.
You'll want to avoid filling every wall space in your lounge. Instead, use art to create focal points and areas of interest. A large piece of art can be used to anchor one end of the room, while smaller pieces can be clustered together on other walls. When selecting your artwork, think about the size of the room and what will look best in it.
If you're having trouble deciding what to hang where consider using a template or grid system as a guide. This way you'll avoid cluttering up your walls with unnecessary pieces and everything will have its rightful place.
Your bedroom should be a relaxing oasis away from the world, so choose art that reflects this. Hang pieces that are calming and soothing, such as landscapes or seascapes. You might also want to consider using mirrors in your bedroom - they can reflect light and make the space feel larger.
Bathrooms are often small spaces, so it's important to use art wisely. Stick to simple prints or frames without too much detail; you don't want anything that will distract from the main purpose of the room. Try framing your artwork with a coordinating colour to the walls for a cohesive look.
No matter where you decide to hang your new art additions, always keep in mind these basic tips: choose pieces that reflect your personal style, stick to a cohesive colour scheme, and use framing ideas that will enhance the look of your home.
Hanging artwork above the sofa is a great way to add an extra pop of personality and character to your living room. You can use framing ideas that complement or contrast with your decor, try layering different pieces in one place for a unique look.
So what's a good way of doing this? Choose art that is two-thirds the width of the sofa and three-quarters of the height, starting a hand's breadth above the top of the sofa. Create an asymmetrical design using a variety of sizes to create an equilibrium. Overall, the goal is to have a hanging that doesn't look like it's just randomly slapped on the wall.
The kitchen is a great place to hang art that is both functional and decorative. Choose pieces that are themed around food, cooking, or nature for a cohesive look. You can also use artwork to hide unsightly areas such as plumbing or electrical outlets - just be sure to choose something with a solid background so it doesn't clash with the rest of the decor.
When framing your art in the kitchen, think about using materials that will withstand moisture and humidity. Glass and acrylic frames are ideal for this type of environment, while wooden frames may warp over time.
Another spot in the house where you can add some extra personality is above the dining table. This space is often left blank but framing a simple painting can really jazz up the area. You might consider framing a map or even an antique wallpaper sample for a truly unique look that will have all your guests talking.
When it comes to art, there are no hard and fast rules. So, feel free to experiment with different framing ideas, colours, and styles. If you stick to a cohesive theme everything will look great together. And don't forget that artwork doesn't have to be hung on the walls - you can also use sculptures or other three-dimensional items to create visual interest.
Every wall in your home is a blank canvas, so it's up to you to decide what will look best. When framing art, use these tips on placement and framing ideas for the surrounding area to make sure everything looks balanced.
No matter which space you choose - be it above the sofa or near the kitchen sink - always consider how that decision will affect not just one room but all of them. Which part of your house do most of your artwork live? Let us know below!
