My top tips for styling your home with gorgeous art

You’ve had your eye on a piece of art…but have no idea if it’s the right fit for your home. So what do you do? Here are some helpful tips on how to style your new art in your home, your way.

1) Group pieces together that complement each other - don’t be afraid of creating a gallery wall to add interest and depth to a room! Use frames of different sizes and styles to create a cohesive look.

2) Size up your space - this is hugely important. The wrong sized art can completely ruin both the piece and the space.

3) Mix and match art styles and mediums to create a visually interesting display. For example, my modern figurative art might go really nicely alongside an abstract landscape in similar colours.

4) Create a vibe, or unique style for your room! This sounds simple… but it’s harder than you think. Hit up Pinterest Predicts, interiors blogs or guides, and of course Instagram to see what look you want to achieve. Then start curating your pieces from there.

5) Try a larger statement piece, it can add a lot of impact to a room. For example, choose an oversized piece of art that fits the style and color palette of the room.

6) Use colour to tie the room together - choose pieces with colours that complement your room's existing palette or add a pop of contrasting color to make the art stand out.

7) Don't be afraid to experiment by hanging pieces at varying heights or on unexpected surfaces such as bookshelves, to create a unique and dynamic display.

8) Have fun! This is your chance to put your own unique stamp in your home and create a style that you love.
