Artwork is a perfect way to bring your own unique style to your home, and help draw attention to certain areas within its rooms. Because art encompasses a wide range of genres, styles, and mediums, it can be difficult to know where to start, when it comes to choosing and displaying artwork.

The first step in incorporating art into your home decor is to choose pieces of art that speak to you; that is, those that evoke a specific emotion when you look at them or have a personal connection to them.
Artifact sizes and placement
It’s important to consider the size of each desired piece of art and its placement in a room. Large pieces of art can make an impression and act as the centerpiece of the decor, while smaller pieces can add texture and interest to a wall, table top, or shelf…
Mixing different art schools
It’s attractive to mix different pieces of art, styles, and schools together in the same room, creating a unique atmosphere and bringing an eclectic style to your home decor. Place a framed painting next to elegant shelves laden with small sculptures, or create a dialog with architectural elements, such as hanging artwork on a bookshelf or supporting it on a column: Hanging artwork on a bookshelf or supporting it on a column.
Art pieces to complement the color scheme

Art in home decor can also be used to complement the color scheme of a room. In other words, consider choosing art pieces that feature colors that match or contrast with the walls of the architectural space, furniture or decor, creating a cohesive look and feel in your home design. For example: Consider choosing a rug with a bold design or a colorful abstract pattern to create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere. On the other hand, decorate a monochromatic room with a piece of art in a contrasting color to bring life and texture to the space.
Artistic furniture

In addition to paintings and sculptures, there are artistic pieces of furniture, such as: A stone-studded or funky-looking coffee table or an armchair with an eye-catching design. These pieces can add to the overall appeal of your space.
Distribute several paintings on the wall
Distributing several paintings on a wall in a home room, similar to a wall in an art gallery, is a creative way to gather your art collection in one place. It’s a good idea to choose identical or different frames for the paintings, although sometimes the frame can be as decorative as the artwork. To properly distribute the collection of paintings near each other, place them on the floor first, to make sure that all the shapes and colors work well together.
Choosing unexpected places to hang art
Art doesn’t necessarily have to hang on the wall, it can be fun to incorporate it into a bookcase or even use it to hide clutter. Think about your artwork from the start, and don’t make it an afterthought in your decor.

Displaying art is a way to express your personality, so pieces can be arranged in creative ways, from a single artwork above a bed or sofa, to a dynamic gallery wall in a hallway or dressing room, or a sculpture on a shelf in the living room…
On the other hand, there is no rule that determines the appropriate number of art pieces in one room, it depends on the homeowner’s preferences and taste, as well as the style of the décor.
