Is it Time for a Change? Or is Your Hanging Wall Art Just Fine?

We all know the feeling. You walk into your home, and you're just not "feelin' it" anymore. Maybe you're bored with your décor or feel like your home doesn't reflect who you are. Whatever the reason, you've started thinking it might be time for a change. 

But then you think about all the money and effort that would go into redecorating, and you begin to second-guess yourself. After all, your home is just fine the way it is—right?

Wrong. Your home is your sanctuary, and it should reflect your personality. If you're unhappy with how it looks, it's time to change. But where do you start? How do you know what's worth keeping and what needs to go? And most importantly, how do you ensure you don't regret your decision?

Never fear! We're here to help. From deciding if it's time for change to what should go, find out whether it's time for a change in your home!

3 Signs It's Time For A Change In Your Home

Is it time to hit refresh on your artwork? If you find yourself thinking “yes” to any of the following, it's probably time to shake things up. 

You're Bored With How It Looks

If you constantly walk into rooms and think, "Ugh, I need to do something about this," then it's probably time for a change. Whether a fresh coat of paint or swapping out your wall art, a slight change can go a long way in livening up your home.

Your Home Doesn't Reflect Your Current Style

It’s human to change over time. What you loved when you first moved into your home might not be what you want now. So, if you feel your home is stuck in a rut, it's time to mix things up.

You No Longer Feel Comfortable In Your Own Space

This is perhaps the most important reason to change your home. You should be able to break free from the stress of the world at home. Something needs to change if you no longer feel comfortable there—even if it means simply adding a photo rail. 

Take A Look At Your Art And Ask Yourself If It Still Represents You

The first step in making any change is deciding what needs to go. It can be tricky because it's easy to get attached to things that we no longer love—after all, they may have sentimental value, or we may be reluctant to part with them because we paid good money for them. But what's the point if something isn't bringing you joy anymore? Ask yourself the following questions to help you decide:

• Do I like the way this looks?
• Do I have positive associations with this piece?
• Does this piece reflect my current style?
• Do I feel this piece is outdated?
• Is this piece still in good condition?

If you answer "no" to any of these questions, it's time for that piece to go. But, don't worry—you can always find a new place for it later! The important thing is that you make room for what you love and items that reflect your personality. There's no shame in changing your art seasonally, either.

Don't Be Afraid To Experiment—Try New Styles Or Mediums

Once you've decided what needs to go, it's time to start thinking about what you want to put in its place—which is where things can get fun! If you're stuck, think creatively and experiment with new mediums and combinations. Not sure what we mean? Here are some ideas:

• If you typically gravitate towards traditional art, try something modern or abstract.
• If you usually stick to paintings, consider a sculpture or hang a quilt (you'll love it, we promise).
• If you're a fan of photography, look for a new artist whose work speaks to you.

Be Patient And Take Your Time Finding Pieces That Speak To You

Making a change to your home décor can be a big undertaking, so it's essential to be patient and take the time to find pieces that speak to you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of redecorating and making impulse purchases that you later regret. To avoid this, take your time and wait for pieces that you love. Trust us—it'll be worth the wait!

You don't necessarily have to go out and buy new pieces. Dust off those old vinyl records, and put them on display. It's very on trend now and it’s an economical option.

Not Ready To Change Your Art? Try New Frames!

If you're not ready to part with your existing artwork or are on a budget and can't afford to buy new pieces, try giving them a fresh look with new frames. It's easy and inexpensive to update your décor without making significant changes. Plus, it'll allow you to experiment with different frame styles until you find the perfect one for your home.
