Why You Shouldn't Skip Wall Art When Designing

​

We often see wall art treated as an afterthought in an interior design. Once the final coat of paint has dried on the walls and all the furniture has been expertly arranged, we finally tackle it. But we're here to argue that you're missing out on a great design opportunity by leaving wall art aside. When chosen thoughtfully, the right wall art will give you the design of an entire room. The three most important reasons why we think so:

​

Provides Color Palette

Our best advice for choosing a color palette for your room is to leave paint palettes behind and focus on looking for wall art instead. Once you find a painting or wall hanging that you absolutely love, you can use that piece as inspiration for your room's final color palette.

​

Creates a Focus Point

One of the most basic principles of interior design is that every room needs a focal point or a single design element that will instantly draw the eye to the space and give the viewer an idea of what to expect. We must say that great wall art can easily fit into this location.

​

Brings Understanding of Texture

Remember that not all wall art is created equal. While some pieces may be two-dimensional paintings or something similar, you should try to find the art in a variety of different media to help bring a changing sense of texture to the space. A mural doesn't have to be the final piece of the puzzle when decorating a new space. Actually it shouldn't be. Wall art is very important when it comes to designing an interior in our mind. That's because, when used correctly, wall art can provide the perfect framework for planning the rest of the room.
