Tired of walking into a dull living room day after day? Give your space a fresh look with eye-catching artwork. Whether you are adding a splash of color or creating an eye-catching focal point, there are countless pieces you can use to revamp your home.

The problem, however, is choosing a decorating style that best reflects your creativity. That's why Chasen Galleries shares simple home decor ideas for you to use to spruce up your space like a pro.

Swap Out Art

Outdated works of art can be inherently uninteresting. So, if your walls or shelves have years-old artwork, replace them with new pieces. Even the simplest art pieces will give your living room or office a fresh look.

When choosing new artwork, make sure it matches the style and color scheme of your room. Such artwork will create a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere. Also, make sure that the artwork you buy conveys your desired feeling.

Make Your Entryway Inviting With a Large Art Piece

A large piece of art in your entryway is a great way to create a welcoming atmosphere in your home. Unsurprisingly, this style is often among interior designers' most popular home decor ideas.

When choosing artwork for your entryway, don’t be overly concerned with finding something that matches your decor. Art is meant to stand out! Finding a piece that brings you joy and creates an impact when someone sees it for the first time is more important. Choose a work of art that fits the required area of your entryway. Some types of large artwork that would look good in an entryway are:

• Statement pieces. Statement art pieces are large, bold, and colorful. These artworks attract attention at first glance; the art pieces could be sculptures, oversized vases, or large paintings.
   
• Abstract art. Use abstract art to add visual interest and complexity to a regular-looking room. Abstract art in the entryway can be a great conversation starter.
   
• Landscape art. Large landscape paintings or photographs are also great for making your entryway look inviting. Landscape paintings create a welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel right at home.
   
• Reflective surfaces: People typically like mirrors for entryways as they tend to catch the light and make the entrance area look bigger and brighter. If you want this kind of impact, look for an art piece that uses mirrored surfaces or has a high gloss finish.  We have seen artists begin producing on metal and glass and adding high gloss lacquer finishes that make any room sparkle.

Color Block Your Wall with Different Vibrant Styles

Adding a pop of color to your walls can transform your space from dull to daring. If you're looking for an easy yet impactful way to achieve this, color blocking with art might just be the answer. Start by selecting a color palette, then choose a mix of different art styles and sizes. Consider combining a statement piece with smaller, complementary artworks to create a cohesive display.

Feel free to mix textures and mediums for added depth and visual interest. The result will be a stunning display of color and creativity reflecting your unique taste and personality. So go ahead, embrace the power of color blocking, and let your walls do the talking.

Go All in on Statement Art Pieces

Using statement art pieces is another recommended style in top home décor ideas. The statement art piece adds personality and character to your space. They are also great conversation starters.

To choose suitable artwork, consider your home's overall aesthetic. Suppose you have modern and minimalist decor, then use bold artwork to add a pop of color. On the other hand, if your home has a more traditional feel, use a classic landscape to complement its elegance.

Another tip is to think about the placement of your artwork. Do not limit yourself to just the walls. Instead, display the statement art pieces on shelves, mantelpieces, and the floor. Experiment with different arrangements to see what fits best in your space.
