As you can see in the photos below, that even 3 pieces of art on this large empty wall can still seem a little sparse. The size of the art, the predominance of the colors and the weight of the image can make a difference to the overall look. Contact us. We are willing to give discounts, and advice for anyone looking to create a Gallery Wall. Depending on the pieces, and number of pieces, you charge we may give up to a 40% discount.
We can also provide suggestions if we know what type of art you like. We do not charge for this service as it helps ensure you will be 100% satisfied. Just send us a photo of the room.
It is better to send a close up photo, and please provide the measurement of any large piece of furniture so we can scale appropriately.
Providing us with a photo which is closer up will enable you to see the art work more clearly. In this case seeing the color of the feature wall is instrumental to assessing the overall look.

How to Choose Art for Your Bedroom
Your bedroom is your sanctuary and the place to get personal with art selections. Art is the soul of the room, so use it to set the mood or tie the accent colors together. One-of-a-kind pieces that make a statement. Consider a relaxing piece to bring calm. Landscapes or soft abstracts suit a bedroom well. Think of serenity, or calming colors.
3D, abstract, acrylic, watercolor — there are many options suitable for bedrooms. Choosing colors that are already in your room creates continuity. Usually using any one color 3 times is a good guideline.
How to Choose Art for your Living Room
Consider a gallery wall in the living room. Varying subjects from figurative to landscapes. Vary mediums—oils, watercolors, collage, and photography—in different types of frames. Vary sizes, frame types or colors, without making any one piece to take center stage.
Each piece should take equal importance.” Choose pieces with compatible color palettes or with a unifying color repetition in various tones and hues.
Consider larger pieces or a grouping for over the sofa. Get creative with a pop of color or choose an intense texture. High gloss, or glass covered art works well in living areas where light dimmers can interplay with the piece(s).
Choosing the right artwork for a living room can invite spirited conversation, a sense of calm or an opportunity to evoke provocative conversation, depending on the art that is chosen.

How to Choose Art for your Kitchen
Be playful, choose pieces that elevate your environment. Often landscapes, art that evolves around relationships, or art that depicts enjoying life fit well in a kitchen. Kitchen artwork doesn’t need to be restricted to depictions of food. It can evoke emotion, connect with family, or evoke imaginations about a trip to your dream vacation destination.

How to Choose Art for your Dining Room
Take a risk be bold. Choose striking colors, bold design or conversation starters. This is a great venue for a 3D piece of art. The key is to think of how to choose artwork that will stimulate conversation. 3D art evokes emotion and encourages dialogue as the viewers are drawn into the artwork.

How to Choose Art for your Bathroom
A serene piece of art can convert your bathroom to a spa. You may want to choose some smaller pieces that won’t overwhelm the space. A bathroom may also be the perfect spot for something quirky and expressive.
A bathroom is a place where you can take more risk – using something that is abstract or unusual.
How to Choose Art for your Workspace
With more people working from home, art for their home office has become increasingly important. Let the art represent you, or to send a message. A calming piece of art that ends up in your video calls may be conducive to congenial meetings. Art that you face while you work could be used to motivate or speak to you.
Choosing art that connects with your career, or your passions can help make your workspace seem more comfortable.
