Find art, canvas prints or photographs that you love.

If you should stumble upon a piece of art that moves you, worry later about matching it to the room. It can be much easier to adjust your decor to complement your art than to find a piece of art that is both meaningful to you and already fits an existing colour scheme. To bring together wall art and decor, dropping one or two elements into the room that echo the colour or style of the picture could be enough to create a cohesive sense of belonging.

Choose pieces or art or wall art that work with your space.

An empty space is ideal for filling with a piece of art, such as a statue or sculpture. Even if it happens to be a dark corner, this can still be a great opportunity for showcasing your art by installing a wall light or spot light. If you don't have floor space for freestanding art, empty wall space is perfect for filling with art work, from wall art stickers to signs. If you have an expansive wall space such as a two-storey wall in a converted space, play up the staggering height with an equally tall vertical print or bespoke wall art. A series of vintage portraits or framed prints along the wall of a staircase can accompany you as you walk up and down. They can also add shape and character to an otherwise blank wall. For a more simple alternative to hanging a painting or a canvas print, a wall sticker in an elegant script can be used to adorn a wall with a message that means something personal to you.

Consider all types of wall art.

If you don't already know what type of art speaks to you, do explore the wide range of styles on offer. For traditional tastes, you might want to browse paintings, collages, screen prints, canvas prints and sculptures in bronze, wood or porcelain. For modern tastes, photo prints, pop art, illustration pieces or film posters are available in an array of colours or in black and white. Consider abstract artwork for colourful designs or pottery for classic appeal, or if you love global art then aboriginal art, African art, Islamic art and Japanese art are some examples that offer a wide variety of styles, which can be chosen for their stunning craftwork. For contemporary investment pieces, neon wall signs and light installations are having a huge moment as are Banksy prints, which have become modern classics.

Look for art inspiration.

Whether walking through an antique shop or looking through Houzz Ideabooks, there is inspiration to be found everywhere. If something in particular gets your attention, make a mental note of the artwork you admire.
