How to make a room come alive? Putting large colorful pieces of art on you walls can bring life and energy into a room in a similar way as plants, animals, or music can. Warm tones or spiritual themes can comfort and uplift the overall mood of the room. When choosing where to place your art, imagine it on a wall where you would like a window with light shining in. Compliment the room with artwork that has hints of the same color, but don't overdue it. Choose a theme that turns the energy of the room in the direction you want to go. Energy is very important. Ask yourself what mood or memory does that piece of art that speaks to you conjure up? Think about the rooms in your home that you want that mood or memory and you've figured out where to hang it.
