Assuming you have a large wall piece that you want to incorporate into your home decor, it’s likely you already know it needs a different display tactic than the sort you would utilize to display an array of medium-sized prints, say. Maybe you have a giant mural, a life-sized tapestry, or a giant portrait you painted yourself. It needs to be a focal point.
A modern decor is especially conducive to this sort of decorating. A big piece, placed solo and pulling focus, actually enhances a minimalist decor, and adds an illusion of extra space.
For best effect, get a big wall for a big piece. It is a good design technique to start with a wall art piece that is destined to be the focus of the room and then work around it. Since the large art piece is going to draw attention anyway, consider getting a piece that is already an optical magnet. A piece that appears to tunnel inwards, or insists upon closer examination, such as a natural close-up, maybe an optical illusion, is especially compelling for a room choice. Nor does a giant artistic focal point have to be a single piece, or even a painting. A giant collage creates interest and texture. Another interesting way to go is to have several very large pieces that placed together seem to puzzle into one giant picture. Artistic focal points of size can work very will in a decor scheme.
Key Takeaways:
- Paintings can add more modern styles to your home in order to allow it took look more contemporary.
- Try placing large art pieces in areas that are not surrounded by windows or other paintings in order to avoid a cluttered look.
- Multi-tier canvasses are a great way to add depth to paintings that are otherwise somewhat drab.
“By focusing on a few large elements, you leave the space looking more open and less cluttered.”
