from:Color and design is important when decorating your home with color.
The first thing you need to be concerned about is the colors of your wall décor. The first thing you need to look at is why you are adding wall décor. Are you adding it to enhance your current color scheme or are you just adding paintings you are interested in to keep your walls from looking bare? The latter part of that last question is what you want to avoid. You not only want your house to look attractive to you but you also want to wow your visitors. So the first thing you need to do is choose a color scheme. How do you accomplish that? It is recommended that you start with fine art that boosts colors. Now wouldn’t a beautiful landscape painting look beautiful on your living room wall? It is important to purchase beautiful wall art in the colors that you love the most.
So exactly where do you purchase these love pieces of work? The best place to start is online. Do Google searches of the artist or painting you enjoy the most. Or you can do a Google search for a particular type of piece. Say you enjoy landscape pieces or still life pieces. You can type in landscape or still life paintings and see what comes up. If you don’t have internet access or you want to see what you are buying before you make a decision, then you have many offline choices such as starving artist shows which appear in many communities, art galleries and craft shops. Roam around these places until you find a color or scene that catches your eye. There are advantages to being able to view a piece in person. It allows you to see and feel the texture of the piece as well as feeling the mood of the piece. Which every venue you decide to choose, your art piece will be an investment for years to come. Every single art piece goes up in value as the years go by. Another great place to find artist paintings is a yard sale. Sometimes at a yard or moving sale, the seller will sell a painting that is worth hundreds for $10. Why? Because they more than likely do not know the value of the painting.
When choosing a painting for your home, there are a couple of things you can do to make things easier. First, if you are interested in a certain work of art, imagine that painting on your wall at home. Does it match your color scheme? Will it stand out in your home? If you still can’t decide, hire an interior decorator that can help you decide which paintings will match your décor. Or if you don’t want to go that route, take a friend or family member along with you that has good taste and ask their opinion.
Just remember, this house is your castle and you want that castle to stand out among the rest!
