Room-by-Room Art Selection Tips

- Gallery walls with multiple smaller artworks work well.
Bedroom:
- Soothing pieces in soft colors promote relaxation.
- Consider artworks with themes of nature or abstracts with calming patterns.

Hallways & Entryways:
- Bold statement pieces or a series of artworks that draw visitors in.
Placement & Hanging Tips
- Hang the center of the artwork at eye level (around 57-60 inches from the floor).
- For pieces above furniture, leave 6-12 inches between the bottom of the frame and the top of furniture.
- Group artworks with similar frames or colors for a cohesive gallery wall.
Mistakes to Avoid
