Everything you need to know about Art, Artists and Framing.

As art is subjective and varying, our suppliers strive to provide the diversity you need. When deciding on what art to purchase for your home, thinking of qualities such as canvas size, texture, medium and tonal values are often important – of course, you’ll have to gauge what will compliment your home the best.

Certainly, there are many art styles, however, you’ll see a few repeatedly mentioned in home décor. The often favoured contemporary art style is usually daring and bold, all about breaking the norm, and serves as a discussion topic in your home. Abstract artwork, on the other hand, tends to focus more on texture and colour, and less on the subject – allowing for a great opportunity to have large, repeated canvases that, therefore then, create a design motif in your space. However, if you’re not too fond of bright colours, landscape artwork can definitely work to calm your space and invite nature in, with large, seascape paintings being an all-time favourite. If you want something even more realistic and personal, you can step away from paint and opt to put photography pieces up in your home, creating more of an authentic atmosphere. The variations and customisations are truly endless.

Choosing the right picture frame to compliment your artwork is not as daunting as it seems. By following a few tips and tricks, you can create that perfect statement your home has been looking for. The most classic option is a wooden picture frame, as it is palatable, natural, and versatile. If you’re wondering what wood frame to get, a general rule is that warm-tone paintings pair well with darker woods, and cool-tone paintings pair best with lighter woods. If you want a simple frame and all focus to be on the artwork, you can go for a single-tone frame in colours like white or black – giving you the opportunity to create a simple gallery wall. Another popular option is metallic picture frames, which are great for creating contrast and drawing attention to the piece.

Overall, when it comes to framing, it is important to bear in mind that it is not just the frame and the artwork, but your entire space, so remember to consider all elements of your home. Although, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t forget our suppliers have been doing this for years – you can always seek out their trusted opinion!

If you’re buzzing with ideas, our framing suppliers, art galleries, and independent artists are here to help you put them into practice and transform your home into something unparalleled. Fill your walls will décor and artwork that enrich your space
