Choosing the right art when selling a home
We were recently asked to contribute to an article in Redfin about hanging artwork in a home when it’s up for sale (and I think we are the only real estate photographers that contributed something), so coming from the point of view of photographers here’s what we shared:
“Think about how multiple art pieces are going to look when showing various rooms in a single photo. For example, consider how strategically placing a painting on the wall of one room, like a bedroom down a hall, might give depth to the living room in the foreground. Instead of showing a blank wall, that extra splash of color on the far wall could help to extend the perceived size of a space and make it more attractive to potential buyers.”

where you’ll find a range of great suggestions for art in a home, including:
Select artwork that enhances your home
Be mindful of your artwork choices
Freshen up your home with unique pieces of art (and look beyond framed prints to include various forms of art)
Choose complementary artwork pieces
Use artwork to highlight specific features in your home (even a bathroom)
Keep scale in mind when choosing artwork for staging, so if you have a large wall choose a large artwork
Make sure your artwork choices are balanced
