Size: Is bigger always better?

In art, size plays an integral role when attempting to reach harmony between your artwork and your furnishings.

The perspective of a room will alter depending where on the size you choose and where you place your art. Paintings will show different facets according to the light, the scale of the room and what is placed around or next to them. When a piece of art is in the ‘right’ place it adds to the harmony of a room - not work against it.

Wherever possible, follow the proportions of the space that a wall provides. When hanging artwork behind furniture such as your bed, sofa or table, aim for 40-60% of the furnishing's size. Any smaller and the work can get lost, any larger and the piece can appear  overbearing.

Do you have a picture of your space in ‘harmony’? Lets see it!
