Art adds soul, personality, and sophistication to any space. But how do you style it in a way that truly enhances your home? Whether you're drawn to mid-century modern charm or an eclectic atmosphere, these tips will help you create balance and impact with ease.
1. Choose the Right Location
Art deserves the spotlight. Think about the function and vibe of each room. In the living room, a large statement piece above the sofa draws the eye, while in the bedroom, a softer print can create calm. Hallways and entryways are perfect for small-scale art that welcomes you in.
Tip: Pair artwork with mirrors or lighting to add depth and enhance its presence.
2. Create a Gallery Wall
A gallery wall is a stylish way to display multiple pieces. Mix different sizes, frames, and styles for an organic feel.
Keep a unifying element like color or theme to avoid visual chaos.
Pro tip: Lay the artworks out on the floor first to visualize the layout before hanging.
3. Mix Vintage with Modern
At TheyUnique, we love contrast. Think: a vintage graphic next to a sleek modern chair, or an abstract artwork above a retro sideboard.
This creates an engaging, layered look full of personality.
Inspo: Try pairing a Wassily Kandinsky reproduction with a mid-century mirror or ceramics for a curated, artistic setting.
4. Consider Scale and Proportion
Size matters. A tiny print over a large sofa will look out of place.
Choose artwork that suits both the size of the wall and the furniture below it.
Rule of thumb: Art above furniture should be about two-thirds the width of the piece beneath.
5. Use Art as a Color Accent
If your space is neutral, art can be a bold splash of color. Choose pieces that echo hues found in accessories like cushions, vases, or candles.
Styling tip: Repeat one or two of the artwork’s colors subtly around the room for harmony.
6. Lean, Layer & Play
Art doesn’t always have to hang. Leaning a framed piece on a shelf or console creates a casual, effortless look. Layer it with books, sculptures, or ceramics to add texture and depth.
Combine different heights and materials for an artful vignette.
7. Rotate with the Seasons
Like accessories, artwork can be rotated to reflect the mood of the season. Keep things fresh by switching between light, bright pieces and deeper tones.
Try warm abstract art in fall and soft floral prints in spring.
