When decorating your home, artwork can be the element that pulls everything together, adding character, color, and a personal touch to your space. Selecting the right piece can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options available. At Tela Art Company, we believe that the perfect artwork not only enhances your interior design but also reflects your personal style.
Here’s a guide to help you choose the ideal artwork for your home, with examples of our own multimedia acrylic and alcohol ink artwork in real-life settings to inspire you.
- Match Your Artwork with Your Interior Style
The first step in choosing the perfect artwork is to consider your interior design style. Whether your space is minimalist, traditional, eclectic, or contemporary, the artwork you choose should complement the overall aesthetic.
- For Minimalist Interiors: Less is more. Opt for clean, abstract pieces that focus on color and form. Our "Monochrome" series, featuring muted tones of alcohol ink on canvas, offers striking simplicity, ideal for minimalist living rooms or hallways.
- For Eclectic or Bohemian Spaces: Bold, colorful art works well in these vibrant, layered interiors. Consider our mixed-media acrylic paintings like "Gilded," where rich textures and dynamic colors can enhance the energetic vibe of your home office or bedroom.
- For Traditional or Classic Homes: Choose artwork with balanced compositions and a refined palette. Piecesfrom our landscape collection, featuring soft colors and delicate brushwork, fit beautifully in classic living rooms or formal dining areas.
- Work with Your Color Scheme
Consider the color palette of the room when selecting your artwork. You want the piece to either complement or contrast the existing colors in a way that enhances the room's overall look.
- For Neutral Palettes: In rooms dominated by whites, grays, or beiges, vibrant artwork can be a focal point. Our "Vibrant Chaos" acrylic ink painting, with its bursts of electric blues and deep purples, brings life to muted spaces.
- For Bold Color Schemes: If your room already has bold colors, you can either match the tones in your artwork or choose more neutral art to create balance. For example, our silence series, with soft undertones, can introduce calm to a brightly colored living room or kitchen.
- Complementary Color Strategy: You can choose artwork based on complementary colors. For instance, in a room with rich burgundy walls, a painting, from the chiseled collection with soft greens and pastels, can create a harmonious balance.
- Consider the Room's Function
Different rooms call for different types of artwork. What works in a living room may not be ideal for a kitchen or bedroom.
- Living Rooms and Lounges: This is where you can make the biggest statement. Opt for large, captivating pieces. Our oversized "wrapped" installation, with its atmospheric color play, can serve as the centerpiece above your sofa or fireplace.
- Bedrooms: Bedrooms are your sanctuary, so choose art that promotes relaxation. Consider soothing abstract pieces, such as our "africa" series, with its fluid alcohol ink designs that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility.
- Kitchens: Keep the kitchen light and bright with playful, smaller pieces. Our "symphony" artwork, using vivid colors and fluid splashes, adds a pop of color and energy to the space.
- Home Office: For an inspiring yet focused environment, go for art that sparks creativity without overwhelming the space. Our mixed-media pieces use a subtle mix of acrylic and ink to bring energy and focus to your workspace.
- Think About Scale and Placement
Scale is crucial when selecting artwork. A small piece on a large wall can look out of place, just as an oversized painting can overwhelm a small room. Before purchasing, measure the wall where you intend to hang your art and ensure the piece will fit appropriately.
- Large Walls: Large canvases or sets of multiple smaller artworks (gallery wall style) work best. Our larger pieces are designed to fill big, open spaces while creating a cohesive visual narrative.
- Small Spaces: For smaller rooms or narrow hallways, choose smaller pieces or vertical artwork that fits the space without crowding it. Our vertical watercolors are perfect for adding visual interest to tighter spots.
- Personalize Your Space with Customizable Art
One of the benefits of shopping at Tela Art Company is the ability to customize your artwork. Whether it's size, color, or a specific medium you prefer, we offer a range of options to ensure your artwork feels personal and unique to your space.
