With the size of the average UK property getting smaller, those with an appreciation for art are worrying that their new abode might be a touch too small for them to add any artwork to their walls.
This couldn’t be further from the truth, as many pieces of artwork available from Art2Arts are perfect for adorning small spaces such as home offices, spare bedrooms and even hallways where space is at a premium.
Here’s a few tips for choosing a small piece of art for any room in the house as well as a few of our current favourites.
Size isn’t everything
Small can be mighty, so don’t feel that your new small piece of art isn’t as powerful or engaging as a large canvas or framed piece as space is all relative.
If you’re seeking a piece of art for a small space, all you need to remember is to leave 3/8 of the width of your art on each side of your wall to ensure that it looks perfect once hung, so once you have these measurements, you’ll be able to locate the perfect piece.
We love the compact and quirky Journey Home by new artist Paul Kiernan that measures in at just 10 x 8 x 0 inches and proves that art doesn’t need to be big to be interesting.
Don’t be afraid to experiment
Instead of selecting one large piece for your home, don’t be afraid to construct a small collection of smaller artworks for your space as this means that you’ll be able to showcase your individual taste in more than one piece of art.
Using contrasting topics, colours and sizes is a great way of displaying art in small spaces, so take a look at some of our newest small pieces here to give you some inspiration.
Choose a piece that speaks to you
Size shouldn’t be the only reason for purchasing a piece of art for a small space; the artwork should really resonate with you too and be an addition to your home décor that you’ll treasure for many years to come.
Some of our favourites include the magical realism of The Dreaming Moon by Mark Duffin, and the playful subject matter and bold lines of Take Me with You by Mark Robert Haywood, so choose a piece that holds meaning for you.
