Agree totally with Mega Builders. Selecting art is subjective and really is something you should do for yourself. Go to a furniture store and hook up with sales. They can certainly help you find something you will love. It might also help you to see something firsthand. The sales person should be asking you the right questions to whittle the choices down to something manageable - colors, style, subject matter, etc.

Watch for being overwhelmed. . . and if that happens, time to leave and come back another time but in the meantime, think about what you learned. It's just a matter of learning what you like and what will work in your home. Once you are armed with this knowledge, you can shop on your own and nail it. Be patient!

It is a trial and error type deal so it might take a couple of trips to get it bang-on. This happens all the time and things look different in spaces depending on lighting, surrounding colors, etc.

Bring pix of your space because that will help you [and the sales person] visualize how something will look in your space. Some measurements of the wall wouldn't hurt either.

After you have purchased a piece or two, it will be much easier to shop for and purchase art. Also remember that usually, art is not welded to the wall and is mobile. Pieces can be switched out and/or relocated in your home when you find something new for a certain space - it is a good thing to do.

There is no big mystery here - just success in experiencing the process.
