Where to place art in your home

Welcome back to the Velvet Runway and this feature about Where to place art in your home.

Artwork is by far the easiest way to transform a boring space into one that’s full of personality; by hanging up the right pieces, you can add character and your own sense of individuality to your home. However, the placement of the artwork is sometimes just as important as the artwork itself.

This guide will run through the best places to display artwork in your home, including how to make the pieces pop in each varying room.

Where to place art in your home

Living room

The living room is often the focal point of the home – which makes it the ideal canvas for art. Possible placement ideas for this room include placing a large statement piece above your sofa to serve as a captivating centrepiece, or arranging multiple pieces on a gallery wall in an unforgettable grid or asymmetrical pattern. 

If you’re the owner of various smaller pictures or even some sculptures, an understairs storage cupboard with shelving is a great place to round out your own living room decor.

Hallways 

There aren’t many places in your home with as many blank walls as your hallway. Hallways and corridors provide an excellent opportunity to infuse your home with art. Why not use these transitional spaces to create a visual journey for when you walk down the corridor? 

This could be done by hanging a series of related artworks, or photos taking you through some of your best memories from over the years. Either way, it’s easy to make your hallway a gallery of memories and experiences!

Bedroom

Often the haven of the home, decorating your bedroom is certainly one of the trickiest renovation jobs. Since your bedroom should reflect your personal style and offer a retreat from the outside world, it’s important to choose art that resonates with you on a personal level. After all, you’re the one who’s going to look at these pieces all the time! 

We recommend placing a soothing landscape above your bed to relax, or even more intimate personal pieces nearby to bring you comfort.

Kitchen and dining area

Given just how busy the kitchen and dining area usually are, they might not be the first places that come to mind when thinking about hanging art. In fact, they offer a great and unique opportunity to have some fun with your decor! 

You could display artwork related to food or culinary themes in the kitchen, or a large eye-catching piece that doubles as a conversation starter in the dining area. Either way, these rooms leave you with lots of potential to work with.

Final Thoughts on Where to place art in your home

If you’re looking to inject a bit more personality into some plain white walls, why not hang up some art? When you get the right placement, you won’t be able to imagine your home without it!
