Our personal spaces in our homes often reflect our personalities and style. We adorn them with things that make us feel good and special or that have sentimental value. However it’s quite daunting when we’re faced with selection after selection of gorgeous wall art and prints. The Cape Art Company shares guidelines to help make the selection process easier.
The bedroom
The bedroom is primarily a space to relax and unwind, and pieces featured in it should not be overwhelming in design or hue. They should reflect a calm and nurturing space. That’s why neutral colours and blue tones are a great choice.
- Invest in calming and timeless bedroom art.
- Choose pieces that soothe you.
- Match these to the colours of your bed linen.
The living room
In this area you can incorporate a variety of textures and hues as well as experiment with colour. You could:
- Create a gallery wall with composite pieces to complement your colour schemes.
- Make wall installations with framed pieces of different shapes, like hexagons.
- Pick pieces that complement your available wall space.
The kitchen
It is important to keep practicality in mind when choosing any wall art for your kitchen. Remember that:
- Small pieces usually work better in the kitchen due to limited wall space.
- Artwork should be easy to keep clean (framed) in case there is splatter from cooking oil or food.
- There is an opportunity to display playful and light-hearted pieces like funky clocks.
The dining room
It is important to make sure you have some conversation starters in this area, especially if you entertain a lot. Experiment with:
- Bold colour and prints printed on different media like canvas.
- Unusual media, like Perspex.
- Soft and natural wall hangings with bold prints that can enhance a simplistic space and create an earthy and grounded atmosphere.
The bathroom
The bathroom is often overseen due to its size and function. If you have space for wall art in your bathroom, and good ventilation to ensure that the pieces don’t get damaged by water, consider the following:
- A bathroom is a good spot for smaller pieces.
- Soothing pieces will complement the relaxing space.
- Quirky pieces will complement a shower-only bathroom.
