If you don’t have a lot of experience purchasing framed wall art, you shouldn’t let that stop you from buying art as a decorating element. Knowing when you should buy a single piece and when you should look for framed wall art that is part of a wall art set can be a difficult decision.
A wall art set can be an amazing way to decorate a large room. Depending on the style and the composition of the piece you may be able to stagger the pieces throughout the room and have a very unified and cohesive display of paintings. That way, you know that none of the pieces of the wall art set will clash with the others, nor will it compete with them since it is designed to work together.
If you have framed wall art where the smaller canvasses make up one large image, you may need to hang it together. Imagine how stunning a long wall will look featuring a wall art set arranged to form one image. If the pieces make up a definite scene it can be easier to figure out how to hang them attractively since they will fit best together when the scene is uninterrupted. You should space them closely together so that the lines of the image are not broken apart by the wall behind them.
If you have a small room you may want to look at an individual piece of framed wall art. This is because a set may take up more room than you have. You can hang an individual piece of framed wall art much more flexibly than a multiple-canvas piece. You may be able to find a perfect spot for an individual canvas that allows you to place it with other pieces and not need to rearrange extensively.
If you are looking for individual pieces of wall art, consider buying several buy the same artist since they will often have a similar feel or look to the pieces rather than trying to put a collection of different artists’ work together. A good art website will be able to let you see a range of pieces and because you can look at them in the room you will be placing them, you will have a better idea of whether they will work with your decorating style and the colors of your art and furniture.
Basically, you should look at buying an individual art piece if you have a small space or you want to be able to purchase several pieces in different styles or with different subjects. A wall art set can be a great way to decorate a larger wall, or harmonize all of the art in your room perfectly.
It has been said time and time again that selecting art is an intensely personal experience. You should be buying pieces that you react to on an emotional level. If you love the way a particular piece looks, don’t let anyone tell you it should be hung differently.

How To Know When To Buy An Individual Art Piece And When To Buy A Wall Art Set
December 26th, 2009Decorating With Metal Art by Picci Designs: a Creative Evolution
December 20th, 2009When it comes to art, the creative process does not end. It starts with the artist, but when he sets down his tools, the next step shifts to you – the viewer. How you interpret the art is your contribution to the creative process, as is what you buy and how you choose to display it in your home. In fact, think of your home as a canvas – a three-dimensional canvas that needs three-dimensional art. Getting creative means collecting from a wide variety of mediums, and there are none better to decorate empty spaces in your home with than metal art.
Metal art dates back thousands of years, a tradition carried on today by contemporary artists like Laszlo Tihany of Picci Designs. A world-renowned sculptor from Hungary whose work is in private collections all over the world, Tihany’s metal sculpture pieces are as diverse as his background and include freestanding metal sculptures, metal wall art such as tribal masks, metal wall sculptures, wall clocks, and mirrors. In collaboration with Laszlo’s partner – award-winning artist Linda Colino – Picci Designs’ metal pieces have just the right balance of color, movement and drama that every home needs.
The most important thing to remember when decorating with metal art is to match the right room with the right piece. For instance, you probably don’t want to display a red, five-foot metal sculpture in a small guest bathroom with a lavender floral theme. However, it just might be the perfect place for smaller pieces of metal wall art –purple metal wall sculptures, for instance, like wall clocks or mirrors. Reserve that tall, freestanding metal sculpture for the living room or den where you can give it the space it needs and deserves. Set it close to a window or lamp to maximize the play of light and shadows unique to sculpture art.
If one metal wall art piece is too small to fill a large space, try clustering several of them in a group. For instance, tribal mask metal wall sculptures are just the right size for three or more to fill a big wall. Hallways are a great place to go for the gallery look, which involves hanging your collection of artwork in a row with a foot or two of space between them depending on the size of each piece. Try keeping the pieces relatively similar in size and theme – all your variations of wall clocks, for example, or metal mirrors.
Just remember, the creative process of decorating with metal art by Picci Designs should never stop. What works best in one room now just might work better in another room later. Much like the artist’s work itself, decorating with metal art by Picci Designs is a creative evolution.
