[quote=Anonymous]Wow. OP. If you drop $1200 on art that turns out to be a mistake, you can’t return it. You’ll really regret that. Rather than rushing to fill the walls, educate your eye. I suggest:

First read an article book from the library to get language that describes what you like. Then look at a lot of art. Look at art you can’t afford. Go to online galleries and museums and just look, look, look. Eventually you’ll see something that moves you. I knew that when my entire feels quiet and still, I’ve found a special piece. La Pieta gives me that feeling. I’ll never own La Pieta, but seeing it helped me define what I like in sculpture. Once you’ve found that feeling, you can start looking at art you can afford. I found a $400 painting that makes me that quiet, happy every time I look at it. It took two years to find it. It’s absolutely perfect, and visitors stare at it. It was really hard having a blank space for a few years, but I’m so, so happy with how that space came together.

Another great tip is to cut craft paper into standard sizes (20x 24, 30 x 40, or whatever) and tape it to the wall using painter’s tape. Some sizes will look better than others. There are rules about how high art should be over couches, tables, etc. Experimenting will help you see what looks good.
