Styling Your Home with Art
Styling your home with art involves more than just hanging a piece on the wall; it’s about creating a cohesive and stylish look that reflects your personal taste. Thoughtful selections of art can dramatically transform the look and feel of any living space, making it more inviting and visually appealing.
From creating gallery walls to choosing the right frames and curating themed collections, there are countless ways to incorporate art into your decor. Let’s explore how to style your home with art effectively, ensuring that each piece contributes to a harmonious and beautiful environment.
Creating Gallery Walls
Gallery walls are a fantastic way to display a collection of artworks and photographs, adding a personalised touch to your decor. They allow you to showcase various pieces in a creative and engaging manner, reflecting your personal style and interests. A Gallery wall is when several pieces of artwork are displayed on one wall in a curated fashion.
Select artworks that complement each other and arrange them to suit the room’s size and style. Adding budget-friendly original paintings and prints from online art galleries like The John Dyer Gallery can give your gallery wall a unique touch.
Choosing the Right Frames
The right frames enhance your artwork and ensure it complements the room’s decor. Frame choice profoundly influences how artwork is perceived and its harmony with the surrounding space. Our open edition prints are offered in a range of three colours - black, white and natural wood to suit your decor. Sometimes a mix of frames can make a gallery style wall (a salon style hang) even more interesting.

Neutral-coloured frames can provide versatility, making them suitable for various art styles and interiors, fitting in with the rest of the room. Using uniform frames helps create a cohesive look, even with varying poster styles, ensuring that your collection appears well-curated and visually appealing.

Hanging Techniques
Effective hanging techniques not only enhance the visual appeal of your art but also ensure its safety and longevity. Evaluate the weight of the artwork and the strength of the wall to choose appropriate hanging fixtures.
