Toons’ Top Tips to Picking Artwork For Your Home

Posted on - 26th April 2021

Here at Toons, we’re always talking about how important those finishing touches can be to your home. Something like a well placed piece of art can transform a room and give your home a wow factor. However, in order to avoid a catastrophe, you must take care when deciding on the right pieces to bring home. To help you out, we’ve put together the following guide.

Evoke Emotion

Whilst you can pick something that looks nice and it is perfectly fine, you may eventually get bored. However, by getting a piece of art that evokes emotion, you’re more likely to engage with it and it can also be a positive influence on your mood. Art has been well known to improve people’s mood, with art therapy even being used by some psychologists. Art can make you laugh, smile and potentially even inspire you each day. By bringing this into your home, it’s likely that these emotions will continue to be evoked upon every look at the piece.

Here at Toons, we’re able to provide you with art to evoke all sorts of emotions. Laugh at our Gentleman Stag, transport yourself with Bay Retreat or lose yourself in Dusky Pink Delight.

Incorporate Your Interior Design

When selecting your piece of art, it’s important that it complements the existing interior design. If picked carefully and correctly, your piece of art could accentuate the room and bring your entire design together. However, if picked incorrectly it could make your room feel disjointed and the art look out of place. To avoid this happening, look at the colours already in your room. Would it benefit from a piece of art that includes a similar palette? Does the room have a bold, contemporary feel that warrants a vibrant piece or does it have softer tones that may benefit from a more pastel palette?

Here at Toons, we can cater for both options. For example, our Just Us painting could be a bold option, whereas Last Carrot to Fall could be perfect for a more relaxing and calm room.

Trust Your Instincts

Our final piece of advice is to simply trust your instincts. When it comes to artwork, it’s very much up to interpretation meaning opinions are very subjective. Make sure that you pick your artwork based on what you initially think about it. Don’t let other people’s opinions sway you if you’re the one that will be looking at it each day.

Whilst we can’t make the final decision for you, our guide is here to help you make a decision that you can be happy with for a long period of time.
