Wall art

11 years ago

Does all wall art in a room have to "match". For example, can I hang a more contemporary picture with a black, contemporary frame on one wall of my family room and more traditional prints in more traditional metal frames on other walls in the same room as long as the color scheme of the prints are the same?

Art is what speaks to you and yes you can mix many types ofart in a room just go check an art gallery.

It all depends on your person aesthetic. What speaks to your heart most, and enlivens your space? Have fun and add pieces that you love living with, first and foremost. Also keep the "Art Police" out of your home, they may arrest you for designing with metal frames :)

If you are working with art you love, mixing frames is fine. If you are buying a few pieces for staging for sale, stick to one style of frame for a coordinated look.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes, and the colors don't even have to be the same.
