Let’s transform your entryway into a cozy, artful space that welcomes guests with the
essence of Autumn and sets the tone for your entire home.
Try any of these eight pro tips to achieve a warm and inviting atmosphere in your living space this season, with art.
1. Rotate Your Art
Shop your very own walls to find the perfect pieces to feature this season. This keeps your entryway fresh and allows you to highlight different artworks in your collection throughout the year.
2. Warm Colors
Opt for artwork in autumnal hues like rich oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows to reflect the season’s palette.
3. Nature-Inspired
Incorporate art that features fall themes such as landscapes, leaves, or harvest scenes. Elevate your look using textured vases or baskets (ethically sourced, of course).
4. Statement Piece
Select a standout piece of art that makes a strong first impression and captures attention as soon as your guests walk in. Consider a large painting or a striking sculpture.
A large, bold piece of art can anchor the space and set the tone for the rest of your décor. If you cannot find the right piece, create it with found materials. Hand-craft a unique artful wreath that incorporates elements like dried flowers, berries, or twigs. Turn it into a true work of art by purchasing an empty frame and positioning the wreath on the wall behind it, blending traditional fall decor with your artistic flair.
5. Layered Textures
Combine different types of art, such as paintings, prints and three-dimensional pieces, to add interest. Add depth and warmth by selecting pieces with varied textures, like mixed media art, canvas with heavy brushstrokes, textiles as throw blankets, and afriprint throw pillows that compliment your color palate.
6. Balance with Furniture
Create a cohesive look and provide a place to display your smaller art pieces. Pair with functional entryway furniture like a console table or a bench.
7. Layer for Depth
Layering art by placing smaller pieces in front of larger ones adds depth and dimension to your display.
8. Use Proper Lighting
Highlight your artwork with appropriate lighting. Wall sconces, pendant lights, and track lighting can make your art pop and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Add same-day lighting when you opt for battery-powered light sources. You can achieve a quick upgrade by purchasing a wall sconce and rechargeable lightbulbs. Cut or hide the cord, and fix the sconce to your wall without electrical wiring.
