A large wall seems like a luxury until the empty stretch of space starts staring at you accusingly. You may try to ignore it by focusing on the couch and the cushions, but you know you will have to address it at some point. You can toy around with the idea of putting up a few paintings. But are they the right size? And what about the concept and the color?
Before you pound a nail into your wall, it’s best to think this through. But hey! There’s no need to break into a sweat. Join us on our journey of discovery and find out what’s best for your wall.
The Right Scale
Proportions matter. If your wall is large, a stamp-sized picture isn’t going to do anything for your decor. It will stand out like a sore thumb, spoiling the look of your wall and home. A large painting is ideal for your space. If that isn’t possible, you can try a selection of tasteful frames for your wall. These can be in groups of three or more, depending on what you are looking for. Once you grasp the concept, working it out isn’t difficult. What are the other things you should consider? Let’s take a look:
-
For a dark room, opt for high-gloss paint, as it reflects light, making the space look bigger. A lacquered finish serves the same purpose. Mirrors are a great option for your wall, as they reflect light.
-
A three-dimensional drip effect with your paint is perfect if you have a high ceiling.
-
To get the size of your artwork right, an easy trick is to divide the wall into three segments. The size of your artwork can be either one-third or two-thirds of the space.
A Balance of Colors
Perfect balance is essential in the positioning and color of your collection. Monochromes are a safe bet, as they go with any color scheme. You can also use your wall art to accentuate the accent colors, thereby giving the decor a cohesive look. For the wall color, here are a few tips:
-
Bright colors infuse vibrancy into the decor. They exude energy and breathe life into the space.
-
Subdued blues and greens are laidback and relaxed. They are soothing and perfect to help you unwind after a tiring day.
It’s about the Flow
A large wall brings connectivity into your space, which is a must if you want a cohesive look running through the home. The wall allows you to transit from one space to another with fluidity. To achieve this, it’s essential to use the same palette in all the rooms. You can let one color dominate in your living room and let the accent colors rule in your bedroom.
There are many ways to play with this permutation of colors. Depending on your palette, your shades of blues and greens or beiges and whites can flow seamlessly through your home, giving it a professional touch.
Consider the Architecture
In essence, this means taking into account the doorways and windows. If you are sitting on your couch, you may get a view of what the kitchen is like from the doorway. This visual needs to be taken into account when dressing up your wall.
We often ignore windows and door frames when we do up our homes. These elements can amp up the look of your home with a few interesting touches. Some points to consider:
-
If your wall is visible from other rooms, try a large canvas for maximum impact. A collection of small frames will do too.
-
For a space that has plenty of openings, dress up your trims. You can play with colors, artwork, or wallpaper for a cohesive look. Let the elements repeat for maximum impact.
