From beautiful oils into light-reflecting mirrors and everything in between, art is often what immediately draws the eye the element that makes an impact at first glance. Even in a conventional and more formal living room, thinking outside the box and buying everything you are drawn to is critical when selecting art.
Listed below are a few other things to consider when choosing the ideal piece.

A beautiful oil painting may be just the item to tie in all the colors in a conventional room. Make sure that the room works around a piece you absolutely like, out of a staid picture to a abstract modern piece.

A good rule of thumb: Hang art 58 to 60 inches from the floor. Those dimensions are generally eye level. For continuity, place every picture in the room in precisely the same distance from the floor.

In some rooms, a piece of art makes such a statement that the other elements in the room appear to be specifically based around it. We love choosing that pivotal part of art first, then the other elements in the room so.

For a fun spin on traditional decor, try incorporating a piece of art that seems from the ordinary. A whimsical painting may add the great new dimension to a room.

The standard rule of thumb for incorporating mirrors is that the mirror should be approximately two-thirds the width of this piece of furniture over that it hangs. The distance from the floor to the peak of the mirror should be no less than 6 feet.
