Find out Your Art Style

You don’t have to become an art historian or an art critic or even an artwork collector to be an art lover. Art makes us think, enhances our understanding of the planet and moves us . Sometimes it is just plain beautiful.

In my mind, art is a fundamental part of producing a home. A house with no art is like pasta — perfectly adequate but lacking any pizzazz or personality. Totally “meh.”

But it can be intimidating to picked a bit. There appear to be so many rules and opinions in regards to artwork. But really, it is not really difficult. The very first step is simply to figure out what you like. Appearance at artwork. Proceed to museums, to galleries as well as online and have a gander.

Here are a bunch to get you started, not that you have to chose one fashion. You can even browse 20×200 for cheap art or the Tray Wick gallery for a large selection from modern artists.

Abstract

Abstract artwork, when it is good, manages to convey as much emotion and movement and feeling without relying upon any recognizable amounts. It is all color, shape, line and texture.

Zack|de Vito Architecture + Construction

Art can speak to the environment. This one reflects the lines, movement and color of the urban perspective.

Upscale Construction

Many abstract painters utilize big canvases. On walls they create a gallery effect. This one uses color and texture to make a calming, dreamlike feeling.

Tim Barber Ltd Architecture

A single large abstract painting can set the mood for an entire room.

Sroka Design, Inc..

Conventional

Plein air landscapes, classic portraits and classic art forms tend to exude a more booked feeling.

Rebekkah Davies Interiors + Design

The paintings, inspired by classic Japanese panels, have an ethereal feeling, but they are firmly rooted in traditional artwork.

Paula Grace Designs, Inc..

Plein air landscapes in frames are a type that is standard. But depending on the subject matter, they can also be contemporary, lively and genre busting.

Bosworth Hoedemaker

There is something manly and no-nonsense about classic maps. They are artwork with advice.

Chloe Warner

Modern

This expression can encompass almost anything, from abstract to figurative paintings, drawings and sculpture. Prevent the sentimental and contemporary art will deal in fact.

Garret Cord Werner Architects & Interior Designers

This close-up of horses, by Roberto Dutesco, is less about horses and more about movement, feel and vital force.

SchappacherWhite Architecture D.P.C.

Sculpture similar to this one by Mary Callery is indeed full of movement and feel. It needs to become a centerpiece with no especially “gaudy”

Boho Eclectic

Anything goes, really. Flea market portraits, a mixture of styles, random frames, old posters. The basic principle: Select stuff you like and hang it. The consequence: It looks like you have been collecting things forever.

Peg Berens Interior Design LLC

Just one wall covered with paintings, mirrors and ephemera provides a very personal, cozy touch. It kind of makes you want to sponsor a salon.

Andrea Schumacher Interiors

This type of collection can work in a traditional room too.

Pop Art

Pop artwork can be big, daring, lively and tongue-in-cheek. It deals in pictures and fashions from popular culture: celebrities, goods, signage.

It’s possible to get a pop art version of something personal (like Fido) custom-made online from websites like AllPopArt.

A neon carnival sign is a bit of artwork. And it appears especially surprising and pretty in this little room.

You’ll have hints custom made to look vintage at Roadhouse Relics.

Crafty

This includes framed background scraps, elegantly framed kids’ artwork and whatever looks made by hand. This mural made from paint-store chips is a beautiful piece of contemporary art with that made-by-hand touch.

simple thoughts

Framed and hung together, kids’ artwork can look downright gallery worthy.
