Decorating With Art
You want to add some art work to your home but have questions. Think about a few of these suggestions:

1. Design the
room around framed art or art work you already have. We started
collecting a series of art prints we loved and eventually decorated
our bedroom around that theme. Using the framed prints we matched
colors of paint, shades, curtains, bedspread and pillows. The room
looks great!
2. Look for a special piece of fine art or contemporary art to
compliment a room’s certain style. The perfect piece can make the room
perfectly complete.
3. Maybe you are ready to redecorate and don’t know where to start.
Choose a theme you like such as flower art or African art and build
your room around that. Consider the art you want to use when making
the furniture, window coverings, tile and fabric purchases. You will
be pleased with a room that all flows together.
4. If you are building a new home, make the art an important part of
room design and decoration. Many times people don’t think about this,
buy new furniture and paint and then just put the old artwork back on
the walls. This is often not nearly as pleasing as planning ahead.
When the art work is used as part of the decorating theme the finished
product is much nicer.
5. Before you make the decision to purchase new art visit an art
museum or art gallery and see which things appeal to you. Do you like
landscape art or abstract art? Will you enjoy a certain art print for
a long time or will you tire of it quickly?
6. Take your time. We visited several places many times to view art
work before we made the final purchase. If you decide on an art print
it will also be imperative to carefully consider how you will have it
framed. The mat and frame make a big difference in the final product.
Take paint and fabric swatches along to help you make a good decision.
Decorating with art is fun and puts the finishing touches on the rooms
in your home.......
