Go Big and Go Bold: Using Statement Art in Your Home

There will always be a place in your home for a good gallery wall -- after all, grouping images together can allow you to very effectively set the atmosphere of a room while including a treasured sentimental favorite, as well as incorporating multiple ideas and influences into your decor.  However, some designers are moving away from traditional gallery walls composed of many small-format pieces in favor of a few large-scale images, or even a single oversized art piece, to direct the energy of the room without overwhelming the walls with clutter.

Large statement artworks are seeing a resurgence in popularity, especially among more minimalist designers:  a large image lets you anchor a room, grounding the space and centering visual interest on a single focal point.  Statement art is no longer just for dedicated collectors, as large-scale prints have made statement artwork more available and accessible for everyone.  The colors in a large wall art piece set the tone and temperature of a room perfectly, tying together the different elements of your design and unifying the room as a whole.  A large-format artwork can also add elements like texture, patterns, and motion in ways other parts of the room -- such as textile choices, furniture, and accessories -- can’t.   

A single, large art print (or even a selection of two or three!) adds interest and changes the feel of a room without cluttering the space with too many different items, making it an especially good choice for people looking to make a bold statement while keeping their decor and accessories more minimalist.  It may feel like a big commitment to choose just one work of art for a room, but making a bold statement with a single well-considered piece can be more effective than a whispered conversation among smaller pieces.

 Whether you choose to use a large art print more traditionally to tie together smaller works on a gallery wall (a good option if you simply can’t bear to part with your smaller pieces just yet) or prefer to use a single, very large-scale piece to boldly own an entire wall by itself, the right oversized art print makes a powerful statement while beautifully incorporating and harmonizing the different elements of the room.  Choosing the perfect large wall art for your space can take your design from adequate to extraordinary, elevating the prints and textures of the fabrics you use and bringing focus and balance to your room.
