Time for Some Equestrian Art

April 30, 2013 by Amber Filed Under: art, equestrian, gallery walls, personal design style


Now that we are getting our basement finished, {are you sick of me talking about this yet??} it’s time for some shuffling around and moving furniture to different spaces. Our old sofas are going down to the lower level, making way for our new family room sectional. {More on that, later.} When I was looking at our large gallery wall of photos above our family room sofa, I knew I wanted a fresh start there, too. Instead of a gallery wall, I want to hang one large piece of art. I am leaning towards a black and white horse print! This might sound silly to those that know me best, considering I have hardly ever been on a horse, much less talk about the beautiful animal. But there is something about art and large scale photography that makes me lean in this direction. Art is definitely subjective and sometimes you know it when you see it! In this case, I’m not sure I have found ‘the print’ just yet. I am just thinking about this style of art. So here are some great spaces that use equestrian art to perfection…

For my space, I am leaning more towards a vertical print, since I have two floor lamps on either side of the sofa. A vertical image would draw your eye up and nicely fill the space. If you love equestrian art, this etsy shop sells beautiful prints with so many sizes to choose from. I was also browsing allposters.com and narrowed it down to these two beauties…

So how about you… do you choose art that you just love or do you stick to meaningful pieces?

    As beautiful as horses are…I don't think I could have a large picture of one in my home. I choose landscapes…my favorites are Ansel Adams prints. I have a couple on large walls…and because they represent places we've been…they are soothing to look at. Those two pics you posted are gorgeous…good luck deciding! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I love equestrian art as well. There is so much beautiful art out there, and I feel like a horse picture brings a little bit of nature inside.

    I just choose art that I love. If it's meaningful that's a bonus. Currently I have an art block of a deer wearing a hint of athletic tube socks. The nature lover appreciates the subject matter, and the socks amuse the person who likes a surprise here and there.

    I love the second horse photo. The first one is too close for comfort for me.

    Amber, I love equestrian art as well and just found a beautiful black and white photo of a horse on ETSY (link below). You should check out his site. He had some gorgeous images!
