Curate Your Own Home Gallery
Remember that your gallery is not just for a specific objet d’art, but may also include your own family portraits and kids drawings! Consider your space and the story you want you wall to tell. An artist friend of mine once explained to me that you need to live in space to understand the type of art the walls need. In a room that speaks of family and stories of adventure you could collect around certain themes like sport and travel, with serene landscapes to evoke the mood desired. In a quieter room you may consider a more minimalist view and control the colour schemes more towards the neutral grey range. Here are my top 10 tips for becoming your own home gallery curator! 1. Work with a budget. Decide to spend something on making your space talk. Buying generic art at a store is uninspiring and does not set your home apart from any other. Be yourself and work towards creating a look that is memorable. 2. Build towards a theme for a room, or combine themes into a flow of images.
