How to Choose the Right Wall Art for Your Space

How to Choose the Right Wall Art for Your Space

Choosing the right wall art can completely transform a room—not just visually, but emotionally. Whether you're furnishing a new space or refreshing your home decor, art brings personality, balance, and meaning to your surroundings. At Nova Art Labs, we believe that selecting art should be a joyful and intuitive experience. Here’s a guide to help you make the right choice for your space.

1. Consider the Room’s Purpose

Each room serves a different function, and the art you choose should reflect that:

  • Living Room: Go for bold statement pieces or a large canvas that anchors the room.

  • Bedroom: Soft tones and calming abstract prints create a peaceful atmosphere.

  • Home Office: Inspiring or energizing artwork in greens or blues can spark creativity.

  • Dining Area: Elegant pieces in warm tones enhance hospitality and conversation.

2. Match or Contrast with Your Color Scheme

Wall art can either complement your existing color palette or provide a striking contrast:

  • Neutral Rooms: Choose art with earthy tones or subtle textures for harmony.

  • Bold Interiors: Add contrast with minimal black-and-white or geometric abstracts.

  • Monochrome Spaces: Break the monotony with multi-toned or color-rich canvases.

Nova Art Labs offers curated collections like Beige Earth Tones, Emerald Green, and Blue Gold Horizon to help you easily match your interior vibe.

3. Think About Size and Placement

Size matters when it comes to impact. Here are some quick tips:

  • Above Furniture: Art should be about 60-75% the width of the furniture piece.

  • Gallery Walls: Combine smaller pieces in a cohesive layout.

  • Solo Pieces: For large statement art, center it at eye level and give it room to breathe.

Pro tip: Use painter’s tape to map out sizes before purchasing.

4. Choose What Speaks to You

Don’t just follow trends—choose artwork that resonates emotionally. Whether it’s a peaceful horizon, textured abstract, or bold brushwork, your art should reflect your taste and tell your story.

5. Opt for Ready-to-Hang Convenience

All of Nova Art Labs' canvas prints arrive ready to hang with pre-installed hardware. You can also choose to add a floating frame in black, white, or natural wood for an elevated, gallery-style finish.

Final Thoughts

Selecting wall art is about more than filling empty walls. It’s about creating a space that feels uniquely yours. By considering your room’s function, color palette, and emotional tone, you’ll find art that truly transforms your space.
