my art picks

Selecting artwork for a space can be a very personal decision, at least in my opinion. Artworks can not only be an aesthetic decision but they also reflect your personality and can be interpreted differently by everyone.

In today’s blog post I have found some of my favourite styles of art and how best to apply them. Follow along and have a read of my favourite art.

ABSTRACT ART

This canvas from Pillow Talk is a great example of trendy abstract art being used in soft interior design schemes at the moment.

I really like this style of art as the organic lines are soft and calming; they are perfect for use as a pair in a bedroom for a transitional aesthetic, or in a home office for a modern, clean look.

Abstract art like this is easily sourced and available at inexpensive prices through large companies making it a budget friendly option.

TEXTURED ART

Textured artwork like this is becoming more and more available as men and women are starting small businesses to sell their handmade art.

I love including handmade items in designs, especially textured items like this. Extra texture such as this adds depth to the space, this is an important aspect of design as a space needs to have layers to it and not feel sterile. Including texture through artwork is also a great addition to a minimalistic space.

This artwork is by Stephanie Bassil; I love the moody aesthetic you can create with such a dark piece such as this using only texture and lines.

WATERCOLOUR ART

These artworks by Sophie Melville are a great example of using plenty of colour, yet the image itself is quite soft and simple, rather than a typical landscape image this comes across as colourful, happy and suits a broad range of clientele.

Water colour artworks can be detailed or simplistic, this style comes across modern and suits a relaxed atmosphere which is perfect for your home.

GALLERY WALL

When artworks aren’t your go to style for wall art, it is a great option to go with a gallery wall full of photos you love.

Gallery walls are symmetrical, clean and crisp; as well as taking up more space on the wall and therefore making a beautiful feature of small images.

This image (right) is a great example of a monochrome aesthetic with crisp black frames, for a softer style such as scandi, try using a light timber frame.
