Stairways and Hallway | view entire category
Decorating your hallways and stairways can be a daunting task, which is why they are often left alone. We are here with some great tips for decorating this area of your home in a way that creates a smooth transition from the rest of you home. A good way to do this is to use framed art sets that incorporate the colors and décor of the main rooms in your home. Another great use for the hallway is to transform it into your own personal art gallery. A long or short corridor with your favorite pieces hung at eye level is a great addition to any home. Also, hanging art on a diagonal wall along the stairs is visually stimulating, it grabs your eye and your attention so be sure to choose pieces that fit together.
Adding Space and Light | view entire category
Lighting is an important aspect in any room, especially when incorporating artwork. Lighting works best when it is set up in a triangular pattern, therefore, lamps should be spread through a room in this way. In a small room, it is a good idea to use artwork with cool, neutral tones and simple imagery. Use pieces that expand the room and take the eye further; landscapes featuring far off horizons work very well to create the illusion of space.
Expanding Small Rooms | view entire category
Color is an important tool for creating the impression of space in a room. When decorating a small room it is good to use pastel or neutral colors. Blues and greens work especially well to create an open and airy feeling. Again, landscape images or window pieces are great to use in a small area in order to create a sense of depth and expansion of the room. A piece featuring a window scene looking out into the far off horizon is an excellent choice to make your small room seem larger instantly.
Heighten Low Ceilings | view entire category
In a room with low ceilings, try to use a darker floor covering and a lighter color for both the walls and ceiling. This will bring the eye upward and make the room seem more open. Another suggestion is to use artwork with strong vertical lines to heighten the ceilings. It is best to use artwork in the portrait format; that is use pieces that are taller than they wide.
Large Space Solution | view entire category
Houses are getting larger and larger these days and with so much wall space to cover, it can be overwhelming. To make a large room feel more inviting, choose art with warm colors and soothing images. Reds and oranges work well to make people feel welcome. Hang a group of 3-5 pieces on one large, otherwise, empty wall to create the illusion of diminishing space.
Add a Focal Point | view entire category
The focal point of a room can be many things, an architectural element, a piece of furniture and yes, a magnificent piece of artwork. The focal point should be the first thing you see when entering the room and it should reflect your own style and personality. If artwork is going to be used as a focal point in a room, it should be large and in a prominent place. The room should be situated around the artwork in order to create balance and unity throughout the room. Some ideal places for a focal point in a room are over a fireplace or on the main wall of the room.
