Buying

Informal art with food as the subject and bold colors works well in a kitchen space. The kitchen is an informal area, and it is important to compliment that. The bold colors in an art piece will help to compliment the bold colors of food in the kitchen.
Artwork that represents nature (water, nudes, flowers, etc.) work well in the bathroom.
The living room is a public space. This is where you want your best piece of artwork.
When choosing artwork for a bedroom, you should really focus on what is pleasing to you. The bedroom is a personal space, and your artwork should reflect that.
The best way to choose a piece of work is to pick something that is pleasing to you. This piece will be in your home or your office, and it is important that it gives you pleasure to look at it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – you need to be comfortable with a piece of art to purchase it.

Framing

When having artwork framed, pay attention to the mat and frame chosen. The mat and frame should compliment the artwork, not take away from it. Look at the framed piece and notice what your eye is drawn to most. Is it the artwork?
Ask your framer what materials they are using to frame your piece. Are they using archival or conservation materials? These are quality materials that are used in framing to help protect the artwork.
When choosing a frame for your artwork, you need to study the design of the work. If the piece uses simple design elements – go for a simple frame, if the piece uses heavy design or more intricate design – go for a bigger more detailed frame. This will help you to choose a frame that compliments the artwork.
Black and white photographs look better when framed in a simple black frame and a white mat.
Antique paintings that use a lot of design look better when they are framed with fancy frame that uses a lot of design as well.
