7 Ways to Choose the Right Artwork for Your Home

Art doesn’t just fill space. It shapes it. The right piece transforms not only the wall it hangs on, but the energy of the room itself. But with so many choices, how do you find artwork that truly belongs in your home?

At Oksana Chashkina Shop, we believe that selecting art is a deeply personal process. One that blends intuition, emotion, and intention. Whether you're building a collection or seeking that one perfect piece, here are seven thoughtful ways to guide your journey.

1. Let Emotion Lead the Way

Before you consider size or colour, pause and ask: How do I want to feel in this space?

Art has the power to set the tone: calm, bold, joyful, introspective. Jester, with its earthy palette and rhythmic brushwork, invites a sense of quiet grounding. It’s the kind of piece that becomes a personal anchor in spaces where you want to breathe deeper.

2. Match the Mood, Not Just the Colours

Instead of matching a painting to your rug or cushions, try matching it to the room’s purpose or feeling. If your living space is meant to energise, look for pieces that bring tension and motion. If it's a sanctuary, soften the lines.

Happiest Today does this beautifully—it radiates warmth and light, infusing a hallway or creative studio with optimism.

3. Consider Scale and Placement

A large piece can anchor a room. A small one can transform a quiet corner. Think about where the eye naturally goes—and what you want it to feel when it gets there.

Works like Nomeu may be compact in size, but they carry depth and movement that draw you in. Perfect for intimate spaces or to break up a structured gallery wall.

4. Think About the Room’s Purpose

Each space in your home has its own rhythm. Bedrooms call for calm, living rooms for connection, studios for inspiration. Choose art that reinforces how you want to exist in that space.

5. Mix Originals and Prints with Intention

Original artworks are layered with texture and spirit. They offer a direct connection to the artist’s hand and heart. Stretched canvas prints bring flexibility. Easy to style, transport, and repeat across a home.

We offer both in our curated Original Artworks and Canvas Prints collections, so you can find the format that fits your space, your budget, and your vision.

6. Let Your Walls Reflect You

Trends come and go, but a piece that truly moves you never fades. Choose what resonates, even if you can’t explain why. That moment of quiet connection is where the magic begins.

You can learn more about the story and soul behind the collection on our About Me page. Art isn’t just curated, it’s lived.

7. Visit the Gallery (If You Can)

If you're in Sydney, we warmly invite you to visit our physical gallery. There’s something transformative about seeing texture, colour, and scale in person.

Browse with intention, ask questions, or simply stand in front of a piece and feel. Sometimes, the work you didn’t expect is the one that changes everything.

To arrange your visit or ask about a specific piece, feel free to get in touch via our Contact page.
