There is no denying that personalizing your interiors is what successfully achieves the necessary transformation from a house into a home. Furniture and accessories help out but wall art can add that extra special life that your spaces need. Without it, it adds character, but also represents your personality and style visually. Wall art can be as simple as a striking abstract piece or serene landscape to be the finishing touch to your entire design vision.
In this blog, we look into how the right wall art can enhance your home and dole out a few suggestions for an easy, future decor upgrade.
Your choice of wall art can play an important role in selectively pouring your personality into distinct rooms.
Wall art differs from room to room according to room mood and function. Selecting the right piece begins with understanding the purpose of the room:
Bedrooms: Make calming and serene art pieces on your walls to put you in a restful mood. The works are soft landscapes, abstract paintings in muted tones, or minimalist photographs.
Living Areas: You can also make bold and dynamic pieces. Some of the best ways to spark a conversation are with vibrant abstracts, oversized canvases or a bit of both.
Dining Rooms: Pick art that enhances your dining experience. Elegant typography, cultural artwork, or even just still life paintings, can add that bit of sophistication.
Home Offices: Motivative with motivational quotes, bring a feeling of openness with prints that aren’t so heavy, and modern prints as well.
Bathrooms: Whimsical, light or nature inspired pieces work best, dosing into the space by not overwhelming it.
Aligning art with the room’s function helps create an improved aesthetic and emotional appeal of both.
Mixing Styles and Mediums
The days of each piece of wall art has to be perfect match are over. Combining many different styles and many different mediums helps create a truly dynamic, and doubly layered look that is both modern and timeless at the same time. Here’s how:
Abstract Meets Photography: A striking contrast is to pair bold abstract art of blacks, whites and their various tones and colours with black and white photography.
Typography and Illustration: There are playful hand drawn illustrations mixed with inspirational quotes.
Canvas and Sculpture: Other are flat canvas prints, or combine these in with 3D wall sculptures to add depth and interest.
The trick is to look for a unifying piece, such as color or a theme, so the pieces work in a balanced way together. A truly personalized, unique design can result from experimentation.
Wall Art as a Focal Point
Wall art can then anchor a room, making it the show stopping focal point. Here are a few ways to achieve this:
Oversized Canvases: Also, a large canvas across a sofa or bed can make an instant command of attention in the room and also create tone for the room.
Gallery Walls: Want to create a curated collection of smaller pieces in a cohesive layout? In hallways, staircases or a living room, this works well.
Eye-Catching Sculptures: Sculptures or mixed media installations hanging on walls uplifts your decoration.
Think carefully about how to position your focal piece so that it matches, and doesn’t compete to take over the space, with other design elements throughout the room.
Color and Texture: Playing with
One great way to bring in some new colors and textures to your interior decor is through wall art. It’s either another color to complement your current palette or an unexpected pop of color. Here’s how:
Color: To tie everything together, choose pieces that have secondary colours from your decor. Alternatively, use art to turn it over to more modern shades like teal, pink, mustard or coral.
Texture: Adding mixed media art, textured canvases or even decorative weave wall hangings adds a tactile interest. These elements add depth and make for an interesting more interesting wall.
Canvas artwork at the end of the day is used strategically, so it can help bring some kind of balance to the room in terms of aesthetic and make the space more dynamic.
