Your walls are the canvas of your home that have the ability to revive and create a vibrant and personalized home for you. Wall art can truly transform a dull room to a declaration of creativity and style, and with the right strategy, it can. If you’ve ever wondered what it might take to make your walls speak, then here are some innovative wall art tips to help inspire and amp up your décor.
1. Take a new twist on the gallery wall
The classic way to show off your favourite artwork, photographs and print is on a gallery wall, but why not up it a notch? Instead of the traditional framed pieces, mix and match:
Shadow Boxes: You will display mementos such as keepsakes, objects of metal, stone, or ceramic, dried flowers, or other keepsakes in 3D.
Mirrors: Add depth to the area by incorporating mirrors in all shapes, and sizes, to reflect light.
Unconventional Shapes: For something different try out round or asymmetrical frames.
Make your items purposeful. You choose a grid to achieve a structured feel, or an eclectic arrangement to keep the wall all yours.
2. Check out Oversized Statement Art
Give your decorators something to work with by saying wall art with a capital W. A large piece of art, one that really stands out is enough of a room anchor that it can focus your eye and set the room’s mood. The size is what commands attention, and it fills the space without clutter; whether it’s an abstract painting, a photograph, or a modern tapestry.
Tip: If you’re going to go with oversized art, the first thing to think about is the color scheme and consciousness of the room. Something vibrant will give a room energy, something muted will calm it.
3. Try Wall Decals or Murals
For those looking for a temporary or customizable product such as wall decals or murals specialize in the process. You can easily apply or remove decals which come in countless designs such as geometric patterns, botanical prints, and so on. Mural: Suit a mural – hand painted or peel and stick, for a more immersive experience.
Innovative Idea: Pick local artists and DIY your mural to create a one of a kind canvas that displays your personality or tells a story.
4. Incorporate Textural Art
And if you guessed that wall art has to be flat, good guess. If that’s your thing, add texture to your room with woven tapestries, macramé, or metal sculptures. In addition to visually enhancing your walls, textural art also brings them to life, with an element of the tactile as well.
Trending Idea: Use wooden panels or acoustic wall art to get an aesthetically pleasing, functional, and soundproofing look at the same time.
5. Frame Everyday Objects
Think beyond traditional art. Vintage maps, scarves or even pressed leaves are potential framing objects that produce visually stunning, and meaningfully predisposed displays. These personalized details make your walls a mirror of your walk of life and your experiences.
DIY Tip: Floating frames are great for an airy look for objects.
6. Go for Layered Wall Shelving
By wall shelves, we not only meant book shelves but also platforms to display our art and décor. Framed prints, potted plants, small sculptures are great to be layered and placed on floating shelves to get a curated versatile look. The awesome thing about this is that you can rearrange or swap things around so easily to change things up in the space.
7. Light It Up
Strategically add light to your wall art and add an extra dimension. Picture lights, LED strip lights or even fairy lights make good light sources for your art. Modern options include backlit panels or neon signs which give a nice and playful but sofisticated vibe.
Pro Tip: Use dimmable light to match the mood of the time of day.
8. Include a Personal Quote and Typography
Motivational and stylish typography based wall art. Instead, choose custom made pieces with quotes that speak to you, or big letters to spell out a word that encourages. Use wood, metal or acrylic — even different fonts — for different flair.
9. Mix Nature with Art
Turn the outdoors inside out with wall art featuring natural elements. Living walls with vertical planters, preserved moss art and botanical prints maybe. Greenery infusion brightens your living space with freshness and dabs of vibrancy.
Eco-Friendly Option: If you are into sustainability frame it up with reclaimed wood or recycled materials.
10. Play with Colors and Patterns
For a loud and lively appearance you can utilize the colorful and patterned wallpapers or the painted murals as the backdrop for your wall art. Ombre effect, geometric design or even stenciled pattern can easily be the striking visual basis that brings the final aesthetic together.
