The Location Of The Art Print

An art print should not just be placed anywhere and pounded in with a nail. Especially since you are going to purchase amazing art prints that you love, the least you can do is to give yourself the satisfaction of putting it where it should be properly placed. Although the architectural design of the bedroom matters and may require you to consider something different, the art print should ideally be hung right over your head on the bed or on the wall opposite the bed.

The arrangement of the room can also be worked on to align the furniture and other things in the bedroom to ensure the bedroom is beautifully arranged.

The position of the windows as well as important in setting up a location for the art because of the amount of lightning that comes in through the window. Too much sun rays usually affect art prints depending especially on the color of the art print and in a case where too much sunlight cannot be avoided, you can protect your art print by having it framed with specialized UV acrylic plexiglass and preventing possible fading.

The Size Of The Art Print

Of equal importance is the size of the art print you want to go with for the bedroom. There are various sizes of art prints; large scale, medium scale, and small scale.

  • Large scale art pieces from about 80 to 100 centimeters in length are the ideal size of art to be hung in the bedroom and they should be placed at eye level.
  • Medium-scale art pieces from 60 to 70 centimeters in length can be grouped or stand alone in the bedroom.
  • Small scale art pieces from 45 to 59 centimeters in length would need to be grouped in pairs and that is why they should be kept at a minimum in the bedroom to avoid a cluster of art prints that can make the bedroom look cumbersome and distracting.

The Theme Of An Art Print

Art is always created with a theme in mind. The artist does not just produce an artwork out of the ordinary without a concept. Simply put, every art print has a theme and as such in your selection of an art print for the bedroom, you should have a theme in your mind that you are looking out for. Even if you do not have a theme in mind, seeing different themes of various art prints would leave you with different options to make your choice. Having a theme already just helps you to be able to easily eliminate the different options and make the best choice.

In case you are having a hard time figuring out what you want the theme of your art print to be, just ask yourself these questions; when I walk into my bedroom, what’s the first thing I’ll love to see hanging up on the wall? Or when I wake up in the morning on a sunny or rainy day, what’s the first thing I’ll want to see on my wall? Or what is the last picture I want to stare up and see before I sleep at night?


 
Most importantly though, in your choice of selection of art styles for the bedroom, you must make your choice of selection based on one that you love. Remember that your choice of art should also be a reflection of your personality and you surely do not want to have something you have no love for hanging in your bedroom because the very sight of that would not give you satisfaction. You don’t want to waste your money on the wrong art piece that brings relaxation or helps you to sleep better. Your choice is still what matters.
