You’re almost there. Your home reflects your impeccable style, but it’s missing a little something… a little something that sets your home apart from the rest. And that je ne sais quoi is original artwork. Look at your beautiful home now, then close your eyes and envision handcrafted textiles, paintings, and even sculptures in all the right places. Goosebumps, right?!
When people enter your home and see intentional, unique, handcrafted pieces of art, they’ll not only say your home is stunning… they’ll mean it. They will feel your style, and they’ll LOVE it. Yes, that’s the level we’re looking for here. But… and this is a big but, the right artwork is essential. Curating your art collection is a science, it involves finding an artist and creator that will bring your personality and style to a space, without upsetting the overall design you’ve worked so hard to build.
Oh yes, finding the right artwork for your Dallas-Ft. Worth home is an art in itself. If you’re ready to take the plunge and become an official grown up with curated art in your home, you’ve come to the right place. Just keep reading for all you need to know.
Balancing the right pieces of art, along with the right placement of said pieces, is an absolute must. So, let’s take a look at each room in your home, and determine where you have room, or don’t have room, to add artwork.
Kitchen artwork doesn’t have to be food-related, or wine related. But any piece of art featuring food or drink can be a tasteful addition to the kitchen… see what we did there? Think beyond an oil painting with a bowl of fruit. Abstract art that fits with your color palette is an alternative to traditional paintings.
This is where you can really let your style show. Your bedroom is all about you… and whomever you share it with, but let’s be honest, mostly you. So for bedroom art, think personal. This is a fantastic opportunity to commission a local artist to do a big piece, or you can opt to go with a smaller collection for a personalized gallery wall.
Nobody else really visits your bedroom, other than the kiddos sneaking in every so often to invade your personal space, or snooping family members, so here you really have some freedom. Whatever artwork you choose, it should fit the overall mood of your bedroom, whether it’s calm and relaxing or timeless and chic.
This area is less formal, but still needs something upscale. You can choose to go with one oversized piece as a focal point, or a smaller collection for a gallery wall. If your style is a little more playful, a gallery wall with a combination of mixed media art would be great. Or a mix of prints and photographs is another beautiful display you can try.
Weavings and other textiles are also huge right now, and bring an unexpected appeal to any space, especially common areas like a living room. The living room is also the perfect place for sculptures. Just keep your overall color story in mind with any piece you choose.
Here’s your chance to go formal and fancy! This is where you can put the art that you want to be seen, and never, ever touched. Because the kids know not to even think about messing with your tablescapes.
The dining room should have that feeling of extravagance. Want to do an entire wall piece? Go for it! Looking for something that stands out against that wallpaper you had to have- maybe something 3D? Perfect! Even if you don’t use the dining room often, you should still catch that “my, my, my she’s a beauty” vibe every time you walk by.
