Before searching for artwork, think about which hobby or interest you want to emphasize in your space. Whether it’s the excitement of video games, the meditative practice of yoga, or the thrill of travel, selecting a hobby that holds a special place in your heart ensures your space truly shows off who you are. Once you decide on the hobby to highlight, figure out the specifics of what visuals you’d want to see in your space. Is it a map of your favorite place to travel?

Now think about how to integrate your hobby into your decor style.

A clean, contemporary space might benefit from simple, abstract pieces, while a more traditional style may call for detailed, classic art. Artwork inspired by hobbies such as gardening or photography can blend effortlessly with various decor styles, so be sure to consider the aesthetics of your hobby.
