The biggest mistake people make when buying artwork for their space… They choose a piece because it looks beautiful, without considering whether it actually works with the space. Before buying artwork, consider: 1. The size of your wall – Too small can look lost; too large can overwhelm the room. 2. Your existing colours – Your artwork should complement your interior, not fight with it. 3. The purpose of the space – Living room, bedroom, office and hotel spaces may need different moods. 4. The style of your interior – Modern, classic, minimalist or African-inspired spaces each tell a different story. 5. The focal point – Know where you want people’s eyes to go when they enter the room. 6. The lighting – Natural and artificial light can dramatically change how artwork looks. 7. The quality – Hand-painted and properly finished artwork can bring a completely different level of character. 8. The story – Don’t just buy something that fills a wall. Choose something you can connect with. 9. The framing – The wrong frame can take away from an otherwise beautiful piece. 10. The artist – Know who created the work and what makes the piece unique. Your artwork shouldn’t just fill an empty wall. It should complete the space. Save this before your next artwork purchase. Need a custom piece for your space?
