Think ahead
Art is often an afterthought - the last thing we get to after the rest of the decoration is complete - but turn this process on its head and picking a first paint may pay dividends . The next time you are planning a new system, find a song you like and use colors as inspiration for the room's palette.

consider your wall color
Many of us take our lead from professional galleries and stick to the art of display on a plain white wall, but a colored background can really show off to your room better. Here, the pink neon sings really work against a rich plum wall.

Play with proportion
If you found the perfect piece, but it's just not big enough for the wall that you had in mind, a large part could be the answer. This work could easily gazing here, but the oversized frame makes it holds its own focal point of the room.

Use it to define a space
In an open room plan, you can use art to create separate zones, each with their own atmosphere. This table uses the same colors as the furniture in similar proportions, and only a fraction wider than the table it differentiates this space from the rest of the room.

Try a triptych
If you have an open scope, suspended several close-up images can be more effective than spacing them out to try to fill the entire space. This triptych aligns with the trio of sofa cushions for a nicely symmetrical look.

Mix frames
If you create a wall of the gallery, do not feel all your frames should match. Mix colors and materials for an eclectic look. Suspend these images above and below the beam is a master stroke that really draws attention to this beautiful architectural feature.

Make your own
Art can be expensive, but it doesn 't have to be. It's easy to make your own and you do not even need to be handy with a paintbrush. This piece was created from a painting of card stack. Just circles cut out your favorite colors and paste them on a board or canvas in overlapping rows for a stunning effect of fish scales.

Embrace the unexpected
There may be more efficient to choose art that stands out from the rest of your decor, rather than a piece that marries. Try a bold luminous paint in a neutral room or ultra contemporary piece in a traditional pattern.

Incorporate an element of surprise
a painting on the couch or above the bed? Sure. But above the bath? That's something you do not see often. Placing art in unusual places where you least expect it ensures maximum impact. Remember to protect a table with glass if you are hooked into a wetland, such as a bathroom or kitchen.
