Art DeCoration

When creating decor for a room, is having a smaller workspace in which to work, more or less challenging? We might automatically assume that a smaller workspace simplifies our tasks. The conclusion we might make is that there is less surface area to cover, so we have fewer decisions to make. With a larger room, there is more space to fill, right?

Interestingly, providing decor for a room, such as unique wall art, can actually be more challenging than for a large room. The reason is we have less space with which to work. In a larger room, there are more options and more variables to consider. Meanwhile, in a smaller room, many of those options simply are not possible, due to the space constraints. Here are some wall decor tips for smaller rooms:

1. Use a single decor theme for the entire room
The key to selecting a theme for a small room (and also a large one) is to start with you. What are your pastimes? What subjects interest you? When selecting a theme for a room, there is no right or wrong solution. Here are some themes that you could consider:

o    60s retro
o    astronomy
o    bugs
o    citrus
o    ethnic
o    minimalism
o    natural
o    regional
o    sports
o    transportation

2. Size matters
For smaller rooms, you should consider bigger items, such as large wall art. This will create a focal point for the small area, and will also create the perception that the room is larger than it actually is. That will prevent visitors to your humble abode, from feeling cramped. Also, choose small wall art for small spaces, and larger wall art for larger spaces.

3. Smile and world smiles with you
It is never naive to be happy and to have some fun in life. You could choose some whacky or humorous decor for your room, including carpeting, wall art, and even furniture. Oftentimes, smaller rooms are only temporary housing arrangements, so why not use some lighthearted decor?

4. Choose your art wisely
When adorning your room with art, such as various types of wall art, choose it carefully. Start with art that motivates you. Whether you use the room for working or studying, the right wall art can inspire you to do your best work. Also, it is important to create a theme for the art in your room. That could include a theme based on a certain artist, color, or era. This will help to create a sense of harmony in the room.

5. Hang wall art properly
Follow some guidelines when hanging wall art. Always start with the rule of “Safety first.” Make sure that you always fasten wall art  securely to the wall. Also, you should hang wall art low, and relate it to furniture beneath it. For instance, the wall art should never be wider than the furniture beneath it. Also, select horizontal wall art for narrow rooms, and vertical wall art for rooms that have low ceilings.
