How to Choose the Right Art

Choosing art for your home isn’t just about filling a blank wall, it’s about creating a feeling.

Whether you are styling a cozy reading nook or refreshing a whole room, the right artwork can elevate your space, tell a story, and reflect your unique aesthetic.

Here are a few tips to help you choose pieces that resonate:

Let the Art Lead the Mood

Ask yourself what kind of energy you want to bring into the space. Calm and serene? Bold and expressive? For example, soft seascapes with gentle color palettes bring a sense of peace—perfect for bedrooms or meditation spaces. Bold and vibrant abstracts with contrasting colors can bring a sense of energy and action—perfect for a kitchen or game room.

Consider Scale

A large piece can be a stunning focal point above a sofa or mantel. Smaller works shine in pairs or groupings. Don’t crowd them—give the art space to breathe so it can speak for itself.

Choose Connection over Coordination

Rather than matching your artwork to your furniture or wall color, choose pieces that speak to you personally. Art that holds meaning will always feel right in your space, regardless of style or palette.

Bring Nature In

Landscapes, ocean views, and organic textures add depth and warmth. These pieces act as windows to places your soul recognizes, even if you’ve never been.
