Your main goal should be to make your room or home as comfortable and attractive to your taste as you can. Decide on a theme or a look. Try to visualize it. Agree on your priorities. What areas are you going to spend lots of time? What areas you don't like? Take in consideration what the spaces are to be used for.

Consider traffic in the room and what feeling do you want to create. Do you want it to be romantic, casual, friendly, or to help with resting and solitude. Consider your lifestyle in your planning. How do you live? Is best to stay somewhat neutral. Take in consideration the choice of the floors and walls.

The creation of “theme groups” of art images is a great way to decorate your walls and your home. These theme groups can be done with any combination of sizes and subjects as long as they match or contrast nicely with your wall and environment colors. Prior to hang them or even buying the images, try to visualize their arrangement on the wall. If you already have the images, try different positions and combinations. You might want to try their positioning first on the floor.
