In today’s article we’ll discuss 3 wall decoration ideas and tips for getting the most out of your canvas wall art.
Size Matters!
When picking canvas wall art or any art for that matter — bigger is better. There’s always the tendency to make the mistake and pick wall art that is far too small for a room. You don’t want to invest in a piece of canvas wall art and hang up your piece for the room to then feel empty or barren. Take the height of your ceilings into consideration when picking your canvas wall art. Does the room have large ceilings allowing for a grander wall decoration? Or do you have lower roof — maybe where a landscape orientated canvas wall art piece might work better?. But always try to go BIG! This is especially true if buying modern design or contemporary wall art with bold or vibrant designs.
The Wall Canvas Art’s Orientation & the Available Space on the Wall
There are 2 different types of orientation when it comes to wall art. To get some wall decoration ideas have a look at the wall on which you’d like to hang your canvas wall art. Tall Narrow walls will best suit wall art that is of a similar shape and in a portrait or vertical orientation, whereas wider wall space — often found over a fireplace or couch tend to best suit landscape oriented artwork. The rule — your wall art should take up to two thirds of the wall.
Try Gallery Walls made of Wall Art
One of the cooler and more unique wall decoration ideas is using a number of canvas wall art pieces to create a fun Gallery Wall. They’re eye catching and will really give a layer of depth and complexity that a single wall canvas art piece won’t. As with the advice above, find wall art pieces which colours complement one another. You can pick all pieces that are the same size or you can pick your wall art in different sizes to create visual interest and draw the eye. Note: make sure to lay out all the artwork on the floor and measure out the total height and width and make sure you follow the above guidelines in terms of matching the available wall space.
