Have you ever walked into a room that felt almost perfect, yet somehow unfinished? Often, the missing ingredient isn’t the furniture or the paint color—it’s the wall art. At Lighting by Fox, we believe that your walls are a canvas for your personality. As your premier local lighting store in Glenview, IL, we know that great design is about the harmony between light and texture. Here is how you can master the scale of your space and find the best home decor for every room in your house. Shop today.
Master the Sense of Scale
The most common mistake is choosing art that is too small for the space. If you are hanging a piece above a sofa or a headboard, it should typically span about two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture below it. When in doubt, go larger; bold scale is a hallmark of the best home accents.
Match the Frame to the Mood
The frame is the bridge between the artwork and your architecture. For a modern, minimalist vibe, choose thin black or metallic frames that provide a clean edge. If you’re aiming for a traditional or eclectic North Shore look, ornate gilded frames or rustic wood can add much-needed warmth.
Coordinate with Your Lighting
Even the most stunning wall art will fall flat in the dark. To truly make your home accents pop, consider picture lights or adjustable recessed lighting. Proper illumination brings out the true colors and textures of your pieces. At our Glenview, IL showroom, we see daily how the right “wash” of light can make a standard print look like a museum masterpiece.
