Wall Art: Beyond Paintings

Posted on October 10th, 2016 by Hannah.

Give your home a distinctive look with wall art that goes beyond the typical paintings and photographs. Express your unique style and add interesting textures to your home by decorating your walls with eye-catching pieces, including natural materials, metal forms, decorative mirrors, clocks and more. Let your own designer’s eye be your guide when choosing your décor, or consult an interior designer if you need some help. Distinctive wall art will help every room in your home to reflect your vision and architectural details.

Decorative Clocks

Use decorative clocks to revitalize your home’s décor. They can add elegance, creative fun and unique detail, whatever works to accent your theme. Your clock can be the masterpiece of your room, your statement piece – the conversation topic, your “art.” Use clocks to demonstrate a passion for collecting or travel with a collage of time zones in a “multi zone” display. Clocks keep us on time. They are the functional center to our daily lives. But they can also be a great way to show off your eye for creative decorating.

Metal Wall Art

Metal wall décor offers a creative way to accent your home. You can add metal wall art to collective pieces of art you have or it can stand alone, making a statement. The reflective properties of metal will capture the design energy of your home in a unique way. Gold wall art, mixed with a mirror, along with a clock, creates a bold and sophisticated statement that is timeless, for any space in your home. With metal wall art you can keep your lines clean and simplistic, to create a dimension and feeling that is relaxed and elegant. Large pieces are great behind a sofa or over a fireplace as central décor pieces.

Mirrors

Mirrors are a work of art in themselves. They easily inject personality into your room’s décor. A mirror creates depth and detail by brightening and reflecting light, making the appearance of a room larger. They are the perfect welcome in an entryway, enlarging the space and giving a chance for a quick onceover before heading into your home.

The versatility of mirrors and variety of framing choices make them a perfect choice for any room in the home. Having a mirror in your dining area gives a very formal and elegant ambiance that is easy to coordinate with your dining set, flooring, window coverings and other art work. Mirrors in the bathrooms are, of course, a must. The style of mirror you choose should take the lighting and the overall décor theme for your bath into account. Mirrors above a fireplace can provide a grand reflection of the room as whole, as well as the choice décor pieces on your mantle.

Paintings are always a great addition to wall décor, but don’t limit yourself or your creativity. Use other décor pieces, clocks, mirrors and metal wall art to make your own personal statement in each area of your home.
