Transform Your Space Without Overthinking It
Let’s face it: blank walls are like unfinished sentences. They leave a room feeling incomplete. But choosing wall art doesn’t have to be stressful! Whether you’re decorating your first apartment or refreshing a longtime home, this room by room guide will help you pick pieces that feel just right without needing an interior design degree.
The Living Room: Make a Bold First Impression
Your living room is where life happens—movie nights, coffee chats, and lazy Sundays. The art here should reflect your personality while tying the space together.
Size Matters (But Don’t Stress)
Go big above the sofa: A single large piece (60–90 cm wide) creates a focal point without clutter
Gallery walls for smaller spaces: Mix 3–5 smaller prints (30–50 cm) in matching frames for a curated look
Pro tip: Use masking tape to map out sizes on your wall before buying
Colors That Speak to You
Match your vibe: Pull colors from your rug, cushions, or curtains. A sunset-hued abstract can warm up a neutral couch
Contrast for drama: Pair muted walls with bold, vibrant art to make it pop
Style & Budget Options
Type | Price Range (ILS) | Best For |
Open-edition prints | 150–800 | Trendy, low-commitment updates |
Limited editions | 500–2,000 | Exclusive feel without breaking the bank |
Original paintings | 2,600+ | Heirloom-quality statement pieces |
Why it works: A client recently chose a Personalizes abstract wall art from my collection to tie their navy sofa and gold accents together—now it’s the star of every gathering.
The Bedroom: Create Your Personal Sanctuary
Your bedroom should whisper “relax,” not shout “look at me.”
Size & Placement
Above the bed: Go for width—aim for art that’s ⅔ the size of your headboard
Smaller accents: Try 20x40 cm prints on nightstands or floating shelves
Colors That Calm
Soft blues, greens, or neutral tones promote relaxation
Avoid high-contrast pieces (they’re energizing, not restful).
Budget-Friendly Picks
Affordable prints: 150–800 ILS landscapes or abstract watercolors.
Splurge-worthy: 800–2,500 ILS textured originals for tactile depth.
