Choosing art to fit a room can be a science in itself. Obviously, you want to choose something you love, but when you love several pieces, look for unique ways the art can relate to the space. Here the lines in the art reflect the lines of the home’s architecture.



When choosing frames, the primary goal should be to enhance the art. Although it is not necessary to match the framing to the room, it is smart to create a good sense of balance with the space. A narrow float frame around this large painting works well with the art, but also relates to the scale of the furnishings for a cohesive look. Notice the skinny table legs and the narrow arms on the sofa and chairs.
