Choosing the right art is personal. It’s not just about what
looks good — it’s about what speaks to you. What gives your space energy,
emotion, soul. Whether you're designing your dream room, curating your personal
collection, or simply craving something meaningful, this guide will help you
find the art that truly fits you.

1. 🖌️ What’s Your
Style? (Genre & Aesthetic)

Start by tuning into what resonates emotionally and
visually. Do you lean toward:

Abstract
art that invites imagination?

Pop
or modern art that makes a statement?

Nature-inspired
pieces that ground your space?

Minimalist
works that evoke calm and clarity?

Figurative
or portrait-based pieces with a story?

🎯 Tip: Scroll
through your saved posts, Pinterest boards, or photos of places you love. Spot
a pattern? That’s your genre calling.

2. 📏 What Size Should You Go
For?

Bigger isn’t always better — but bold often is.
Here’s how to choose:

Small
Prints (Under 40cm) — perfect for shelves, gallery walls, or subtle
corners.

Medium
(45–70cm) — a versatile size for home offices, bedrooms, or above
furniture.

Large
& Oversized (80cm+) — ideal for creating drama in living rooms,
staircases, or open-concept walls.

📌 Pro Hack: Use
masking tape to block out dimensions on your wall. Visualize the impact before
you buy.

3. 🎨 What Colors Belong in Your
Space?

Art should elevate your space — not compete with it.
Think about:

Complementary
tones that echo your décor

Contrasting
colors to energize a neutral space

Monochrome
palettes for timeless sophistication

Bold
color blocks to spark emotion

🌈 Energy Tip: Warm
tones (reds, golds) radiate vibrance; cool tones (blues, greens) create calm.

4. 🖼️ Original vs. Print —
What’s Right for You?

Both originals and fine art prints offer beauty — it comes
down to meaning, budget, and exclusivity.

Originals
are one-of-a-kind investments, carrying the raw emotion of the artist’s
hand. They’re perfect for collectors or those seeking something soul-deep.

Prints
(especially framed or on canvas) offer accessibility and flexibility, and
still deliver impact and emotion — with excellent quality.

💡 Want both? Start
with a print, fall in love, then move up to an original.

5. 🌍 Your Story, Culture
& Vibe

Art reflects who you are and what you care about. Think
about:

Your personal
story — milestones, travels, dreams

Your culture
or roots — colors, patterns, themes that feel like home

Your lifestyle
— bold, minimalist, earthy, urban, soulful

🧭 Gut Check: If it
makes you pause and feel something — that’s your art speaking to you.

6. 🧠 Don’t Overthink It.
Feel It.

At the end of the day, great art moves you. If a piece
catches your eye, lingers in your mind, or makes your heart stir — trust it.
Your walls deserve emotion, not just decoration.
