1. Go large
The trick for never going wrong decorating space - is going large.

The Roots by Yvonne Vacha

If you have a huge space in your living area or your rooms, placing a large artwork is something one can never go wrong with. The artwork that you pick helps set the tone of the space. You can pick from a soothing natural composition painting, to abstract and funky. Not only does such a painting brighten up the place with color, giving personality to the room, it can also become a good topic of conversation.

2. Create your own Mini-Gallery 

If you collect or have a collection of many small artworks and photographs that you would like to put up, then nondescript spaces might be your best friend here!

Decorating nondescript spaces is already a challenge. But by putting up small artworks in those spaces you can convert an odd space into an awe-inspiring walk-through. 

Pro tip: for some of the places that you don’t have the appropriate artwork … adding mirrors also helps fill the empty spaces.  

3. Three in art decor

Grouping artworks into three is a great way of creating an impact in the room. You can either get an artwork that is broken up into three parts, or you can consider making your own grouping around a theme or color scheme. 

4. Pairing the artworks

Just like the pairing of threes, the pairing of twos is also a great way of creating symmetry and balance. However, the difference with pairing twos as opposed to threes, is that two-pairings work great with abstract works, while the pairing of three works great for contemporary and/or figurative works. 

One of the mistakes while pairing two’s is that with figurative art, the human mind directly starts comparing the two. But with abstract art, it balances out the perspective and composition. 

5. Lower the threshold 

Break the eye level norm. Hanging artworks low is a great way to spruce up high traffic areas of your house, like the entry. They also help create an impact in the space, especially with all their surrounding accompaniments

Pro tip: Adding greenery helps brighten up a place. It makes it organic. 

6. The traditional way

Most of us may have seen our grandmothers placing the most exciting art, embroidery, or photographs on their fire mantle. The idea continues to be the same. Placing artwork above the fireplace. This is also another way of not going wrong with decorating artworks at home. 

Pointer: Most artworks placed or hung above the fire mantle are usually statemented art or a unique single eye-catching piece

7. Round off the atypical geometrics 
 
If you are looking to mix and match furniture, a great way of creating symmetry with atypical geometric furniture is complementing it with circular framed artworks. 

The circle, while adding to the nuance of the room created by the irregular shaped couches, tables, and sofas, helps maintain the symmetry, without adding any further angular dimensions to it
