Selecting the right wall art to compliment a room is, like everything with home decorating, very much a personal preference. However, there are certain guidelines you can follow to ensure your choice of wall art complements your room and does not stand out like the proverbial sore thumb. Here are our top 4 tips to help you select art to add that wow factor to your walls.

It’s all about the feelingHow do you want the room to feel? Do you want it to inspire you, calm you, energise you? Knowing how you want to feel whenever you’re in the room goes a long way to finding the right wall art.

How big? The next step is to evaluate how big it needs to be. Rooms with oversized furniture and high ceilings generally call for larger pieces of art, while smaller rooms might be overwhelmed by large art and may look better with a series of smaller pieces instead.

Colour codingTypically the most suitable wall décor will reflect the hues and patterns in the room. It doesn’t have to match exactly, but it shouldn’t clash against it. In a room that features all neutral colours, avoid wall art that is a dark colour, if the room features a specific print, opt for wall décor with a similar design. And if it all gets a bit too much, then pick up a few black and white prints. The monochrome execution allows you to focus on the image itself rather than on colours.

Rise and shine its decorating time! We’ve always loved clocks at Madras Link. They do a whole lot more than just get us up on time or let us know what time it is. We love them because they’re also a versatile decorator accessory that creates a great focal point. They make a huge design statement especially when they are used in a living room above the fireplace mantel, on an empty wall above the sofa, above a console table in an entryway, above a bed, etc.

What’s more, clocks can be incorporated in many decor styles such as traditional, eclectic, country, transitional, etc...The possibilities are endless.

Being a homewares wholesaler, it may come as no surprise that we think mums are like much loved armchairs. With arms big enough to embrace us – no matter how old we are. A place to seek comfort and security like no other in the world and somewhere we can relax and be our selves. And, like our much loved armchairs, each mum is unique, special and irreplaceable.
