Why “Wall Art” Should Not Be An Afterthought While Decorating Your Dream Space

Decorating your dream space can be a bit overwhelming as a lot goes in mind while planning the interior that represents one’s persona. While decorating a space the idea of buying art might not come very naturally to you unless you’re an art curator, gallery owner, or artist. Too often while decorating we see wall art treated as an afterthought and might not be dealt with until the very last time when the final coats of paint have dried up or all the furniture and accessories are arranged artfully.

What we want to argue about here is, by neglecting wall art you’re missing out on an amazing design opportunity. Choosing the right wall art for your space can often provide for the entire room. And we’re going to discuss why.

Wall art is to a room what lipstick is to an outfit. Be it a wall hanging, a painting, a poster or tapestry if chosen thoughtfully the decor piece can be the cherry on top for your room that seems a bit “oh-so-vanilla”. If you’re nervous about giving wall art such a prominent role, this post will guide you choose the accurate pieces that create a harmony in the space and speak about your persona and sense of style.

Firstly, wall art can save you from the hassle of choosing the color pallet for your space. Choosing the perfect color for your space can be a daunting job as there are numerous shades of the same color and the options are endless. Leaving the paint chips and focusing more on searching for a wall art can be of immense help while planning for the color palette. Once you have found the piece you absolutely love, it can work as the inspiration for your walls, curtains and other decorative elements.

After choosing an inspirational art the first step is to choosing two to three colors from the piece that you’d like to incorporate in your decor. Choosing a dominant color and planning the accents around it will make your space look cohesive and harmonious.

The most basic principle for decorating a space is creating a focal point. A focal point essentially is the single design element that instantly draws the eye into the space and gives the viewer a sense of what to expect. The chosen wall art can serve well for that purpose.

Imagine your favorite piece of art hanging above your living space couch or standing proudly above the bed in your master suite! A creative gallery wall can give a twist to the traditional dining area or a few hanging tapestries could add a cozy feel to a seating area.

Wall art necessarily doesn’t need to be a two dimensional, matted and framed painting, photo or poster. Finding art in a variety of different mediums can give your space the depth and texture that can make the elements of your space come together. Experimenting with materials like iron, wood and ceramics, trying organic, natural shapes, can lend a space a sense of serenity that photos and other types of artwork sometimes can’t.

Wall art is the greatest element of interior design that can be used to give your dream space the last bit of finishing touch. Artworks can talk a lot about your persona and what you are all about. Make your space look from only functional to straight out of an interior magazine with the right wall art which serves the purpose of pulling your ever cherished space together.
