Buying new artwork can be such an exciting adventure. It doesn’t matter if it is your first original piece or you are adding to your collection. Here at Painted Earth, it’s all about following your heart. Art is all about how it makes you feel peaceful, joyful, intriguing, or simply beautiful in your home. If you love the piece, it will hang perfectly. It doesn’t matter where it’s from, who it’s by as long as you want to keep looking at it.
We have gathered a few tips that have worked for us:
1) Your Space
Have a think about proportions in relation to other items in the room, the height, width etc. We always hang by eye. Think of unusual places that will catch your eye.
2) Your Taste
It’s important to follow your own taste. It doesn’t matter what is on trend right now. Art is personal and a way to make your home reflect you. So, if something grabs your eye, then you might be onto something.
3) New & Emerging Artist
Consider buying the work of artists that you don’t know. Supporting young and emerging artists can often mean picking up pieces for a very reasonable price!
4) Theme & Colour
Which theme or colour do you want to bring into your home? Nature, animals, and landscapes are extremely popular themes. It’s about setting the tone in both colour and feeling. Have a think and see what speaks to you.
5) It’s ok to sleep on it
If you have found a piece you love, it can be hard to make the decision on the spot. Have a think, show it to someone else. We have a broad selection of artwork online for this reason.
We have heard so many stories about how artwork just brings back special memories or marks a wedding or milestone birthday. At some point you just have to go for it! You can browse our Original Artwork Collection here. We ship worldwide, please get in touch if you would like a quote.
