Published on 11 Jan 2024

Adorning your space with art transcends mere decoration; it's a luxurious elevation. Each work of art is more than just a finishing touch; it completely alters the atmosphere and adds a sense of luxury throughout your home.

Wall art is important because it fills empty walls with life by telling fascinating tales. It does more than look good; it evokes feelings, creates focal points, and sets the general mood of a room.

Make large wall art a feature in your home

The effects of wall art are powerful and transformative. Whether you're looking to redecorate your living room, bedroom, or office, incorporating large artwork can be a creative and unique way to add personality and style. Here are some ways to decorate with large wall art:

1. Choose art that fits your style

To get started, select pieces for your home that reflect your taste and complement the layout and design of the space. The chosen artworks should blend effortlessly with the existing design scheme, regardless of whether the style is contemporary, classic, or eclectic.

2. Have a focal point

Large wall art should be strategically placed in a room to draw attention and be a focal point. Consider putting it above a sofa, headboard, or fireplace to create a visually striking arrangement. By selecting a prominent location, you can enhance the overall design and build a harmonious balance of elements.

3. Use art to define spaces

Picking tall, vertical artwork to visually raise a room is a purposeful design option. The works of art drive the eye upward, giving the impression of more space and openness. This approach is beneficial in areas with low ceilings, as vertical art increases the apparent height. The upward flow focuses attention, giving the room a dynamic aspect.

4. Coordinate colour schemes with artwork

Choose lighter hues like pastels or neutral tones to create a spacious and airy setting. Darker shades, on the other hand, generate drama and depth, making a bold statement. For a unified and tasteful look in a space, it's important to coordinate the artwork's hues with the rest of the decor.

5. Be mindful of lighting

Enhance the impact of large wall art by incorporating thoughtful lighting. Position the artwork to receive sufficient, gentle light without direct sunlight or glare. You can accentuate your masterpieces with wall sconces and floor lamps for an elegant look.
