how to choose the right art
Hi, recently moved to my new rented apartment, still have not finished with the decoration. I need your help with art. What do you think could match to this color palette - brown - beige- burnt orange?
Thank you all,

6 years agoArt is such a personal thing so a difficult thing to recommend. I would take your colour scheme and ramp up the burnt orange to add more colour. Autumnal artwork would look nice. The ones below are from Etsy, but I find The Range and Wayfair are pretty good and not too pricey. My favourite online gallery is King & McGaw and prices start at £65, but they are beautifully framed and very classy.

How to decide on a piece of Art for wall
Comments (97)I'd take this as a great opportunity to have some fun and explore making your own piece of art. From the space (that I can see), a canvas would suit being placed above, either leaned against the surface or elevated. I'd lead towards to being elevated. I'd say get a cheap canvas with some oil based paint and just try different shapes and different ways to add the paint to the canvas, don't try to make actual shapes but try blending colours (a spray drinking bottle makes an excellent tool for adding blending) in an abstract style. In term of colours, I really feel burnt orange and a mix between duck egg blue and royal blues would make a very eye-catching scheme for that area. If you do try a bit of art, make sure to send us an image! I guarantee you'll have fun doing this, and you'll be surprised how well it could turn out. Good luck!...See MoreHow to hang artwork on this wall?
Comments (18)Misha, I didn't think about shadows! Something to definitely keep in mind. Originally the plan was to hang a large mirror there, to reflect the sparkles and light, but I can't afford such a huge mirror, and anything too small will look silly. During the day, when the day is sunny, the chandelier throws 'sparkles' on the walls around, a bit magical :) (and it's not even lit!) I will definitely put up a photo when I finish the wall, but it may be a while before I finally make a decision :O...See MoreCan you hang canvas art next to tapestry art?
Comments (7)Hi, I think that you have to find a line that you can align your larger art pieces on. Not sure how to explain it, so I've made a visual for you. I've put the two smaller pieces together, so they form 'one piece' and aligned the bottom of all large pieces and put the other smaller one between them to form a connection. A common line makes it visually calmer. I've also pulled your chair a little bit forward, to give it some 'breathing space'....See MoreHelp….subjects for art work in a kitchen?
Comments (4)So sorry, I forgot to thank you for your comments. I am attaching the artwork I am going for. I will use a light oak or white frame. The oak suits the picture but the white ties in more with the kitchen. I investigated getting the poster professionally framed with double mounts and a lovely frame but I think that may be overkill in a kitchen….the cost was certainly overkill!...See More
