In a smaller space, choose a single large piece of art to make a bold statement. Choose a favorite theme, and whether your passion is abstracts, landscapes, or movie posters, you will avoid a cluttered look and have an instant focal point.
Choosing artwork with a common thread or theme will help to unify a small space. Using all flower prints, for example, or abstracts by the same artist, will keep the look cohesive.
Another great idea for smaller rooms or spaces comes from the frames you use. Framing all your artwork with identical frames will bring harmony to the space, as shown in the image at the right. Here a collection of beautiful seashells all framed alike in soft neutral tones brings a calming, spa-like effect.
Also, why not choose colors from a favorite painting or print and build your room's color palette from those? Coordinate the paint colors or fabrics in the room with the art for an instant pulled-together look.
Our final tip for choosing artwork to suit small spaces is to consider using landscapes. This can give the appearance of looking outside, off in the distance, which can open up the room.
