Some people can just look at a room and know how it should be decorated. Others have no idea and usually opt for something easy like purchasing sets from furniture stores. There are a few who would really love a living space that is original, creative, and well designed, but are novices at decorating. These individuals should take the advice of professionals who use artwork, such as Impressionist prints, as the foundations for their room designs.
If you aren't able to start from scratch in a living or family area of your house, look around at the color scheme you already have. You may not even realize you have developed a particular color palette, but you probably have. There are certain shades and tones of particular colors that each individual leans toward.
When you are looking at wall art, you need to consider the color palette in the painting and decide whether or not it will be complementary in your living space. The colors don't have to be an exact match, in fact it is better when they are not. You do want them to be in the same tone though.
Some people are very familiar with Impressionist painters and their works. Others may not know anything about the artists. The library is an excellent source for those who are interested in doing some research about the art period in question before selecting an expensive print. Personal taste should dictate your choice. You might find you love Monet's water lilies and build your design around one of his works.
You can't just hammer nails into walls and hang artworks anywhere in the room. It may be best to remove all the furniture and really look at the configuration and size of the living space empty. This may give you a better idea about whether you need horizontal or vertical focal points on the walls. If your room has an interesting fireplace or mantel, you might hang an appropriately sized print above it to draw your guests eyes to it.
When you have strong feelings about certain ideas or beliefs, you can give subtle hints of them to your guests, using art, without being overbearing. Someone who is a strong supporter and active in women's issues, for instance, may want to focus on female artists like Mary Cassatt. Works by Van Gogh may spark a conversation on mental health issues.
If you live alone, you can go any direction you want with room design. For those who live with roommates, partners, and family, some consideration for the tastes of others should be shown. Involving family members in art choices will probably improve everyone's satisfaction with the final design.
Although a lot of Impressionist works are extremely famous and easily recognized by many, you can choose to select a lesser known piece that you like and see if your guests can figure out who the artist is. Decorating walls with good prints can make for interesting conversations.
