Elevating Your space with Artwork

Artwork is an essential element in any home decor. It has the power to enhance the ambiance of a room, evoke emotions, and create a focal point that draws the eye. When staging a seller's home, we pay special attention to the artwork present in the space. We analyze various aspects of the artwork to ensure that it complements the overall aesthetic of the home and creates a positive impression on potential buyers.

One of the first things we consider is the artwork's size and placement. We take into account the room's dimensions and the size of the artwork to ensure it is not too small or too large. Additionally, we consider the height at which the artwork is hung, ensuring that it is at eye level and positioned correctly to create a balanced look. According to The Property Brothers’ Design Cheat Sheet, 60 inches from the bottom of the art to the floor is the optimal height to create an aesthetically pleasing look. Most people hang their artwork too low, drawing the eye down instead of creating the feeling of height in a room. You will often hear that you should hang art at eye level, Kylie M Interiors takes another approach and says that the eye level rule only works when someone is 5’2 - 5’6 and that this should just be a guideline.

Are you hesitant to hang your favorite artwork because you're afraid of it being crooked? Don't worry, we have a foolproof technique from Harbour Breeze Home that guarantees you'll hang your artwork straight and exactly where you want it. This method works best with artwork that has two sawtooth hangers on the back. We use this technique when staging all of the artwork we hang!

Another critical element we analyze is the color of the artwork. We take into account the color scheme of the room and ensure that the artwork complements the colors used in the decor. This creates a cohesive look and enhances the overall aesthetic of the room.

Lastly, we consider the artwork's style and how well it fits with the overall style of the home. If the artwork is too eclectic or does not fit with the general style of the home, it may create a jarring effect that detracts from the overall appeal of the space. Therefore, we ensure that the artwork is consistent with the home's style and creates a harmonious look.

In summary, artwork plays a crucial role in home decor and staging. By analyzing various aspects of the artwork, we ensure that it enhances the ambiance of the space and creates a positive impression on potential buyers.
