A great piece of art tells a powerful story. In personal settings, art doesn’t just tell a story about you, but also about your living space. Art is a fundamental part of interior design because it provides a distinctive personality to your walls.  

Here’s why you need to get your hands on some gorgeous paintings ASAP.

Reflect your personal style

You truly want your home to be a self-expression of your personal style, preferences, and lifestyle. Every corner of your house needs to be a reflection of who you truly are and what you believe in. Furniture and wall paint have little room for self-expression. Neither of the two has the design freedom or sense of detail that full-fledged wall art does. Art expresses your sense of self.

Adds a pop of color to the house

The right choice of color really enhances how you feel about your space. If there’s an adequate amount of blue inside the house, it makes the room more relaxing and calming. Similarly, yellow brightens the space and adds to the energy. With wall art, you can incorporate the color palette that your room requires with added details. Besides the piece of art itself, you can make other decorative items follow the same color theme.

Texture

Plain and untextured walls look largely incomplete. No one really likes white walls. Wall art works as a powerful finishing element that ties the entire look of your interior design together. Wall art is a textured element that adds a sense of depth to the room. To diversify the design, you can go beyond traditional acrylic paintings and get your hands on some sculpture-like accent, digital art, or mixed media installation.

How to choose the right wall art?

 Try to incorporate wall art in a way that it becomes the focal point in your room. Your wall art is the first thing you want your guests to notice when they come over. Put these up in the ignored spaces of your room to make them stand out.

Size really matters so consider the amount of space available on the wall. Don’t buy art that is longer in length than a standard sofa. You don’t want the art piece to hit the ceiling. Similarly, don’t fill up a big area with small frames—they’ll look clustered.

Think of what inspires you. Consider your natural instincts and what you want to be surrounded by.
