Adding art to your home has been in the spotlight since 2020, and this trend isn’t planning on disappearing anytime soon. A good piece of artwork can truly set your home on the right path, it can instantly add an interesting aspect to your space while setting the tone for any room; they work especially well at being the focal point of a room so be meticulous when choosing the right one. Artwork can come in many forms from sculptures and wall murals to wall hung art, this allows you to find pieces that’ll fit perfectly with your style and allow you to express yourself. Try to avoid pieces that look too big for the room as this can throw the decor off resulting in a cluttered look, two pieces hung on opposite walls can add interest without going overboard.
