Different Types of Wall Art Explained

No matter the type, I prefer walls with a featured art piece to bare ones. Nowadays, it’s common to find living rooms, dining rooms, and other parts of the home with particular wall art. Some even go as far as picking a featured or accent wall for an entire decorative wall.

Type

 

Wall Signs

Especially popular in man caves and teenagers’ rooms, wall signs are heavy-duty and display something that is loved. This may be a particular brand of soda, a sports team, or a location in the world. When you are looking for wall art that will appeal to the recipient, help express their love of something, and tie into the décor of the room, wall signs are a great choice.

They can look a little out of place in more contemporary settings, which is why they are more often seen in bedrooms and home bars, where they will fit in with a more relaxed atmosphere and décor.

Posters

Posters are incredibly popular in certain settings such as dorm rooms, first apartments, or home theaters. They are made of thin paper and can easily be rolled up and stored away when not in use. If you want your poster to last for a long time, you will want to either mount it on a hard backing or frame it right away, as the thin paper can easily become damaged.

You can buy posters in all styles. It’s very popular for people to have posters of their favorite musicians or to buy prints of famous artists. As far as larger art goes, posters are very inexpensive and are therefore great for individuals who are on a budget but want to outfit their home with wall art.

Framed

If you don’t want to have to worry about finishing your wall art after you buy it, you will want to purchase wall art that has already been framed.

This means that as soon as you get your wall art delivered to your home, you will be able to go ahead and hang it. If you are in a time crunch or really want to finish decorating your home, , you will definitely want to buy framed art, as it will speed up how quickly you can hang your artwork.

Mirrors

While not often thought of as art, when you buy beautiful mirrors, you can enjoy them for their artistic appearance as well as for their utility and function. Look for a mirror that is large enough for you to easily use and which also has a thick decorative frame.

This will allow you to make your room appear larger, since the mirror will reflect light, and will also help to tie together the colors and design of the room.

Canvas

Art that has been produced on a canvas will have more weight and will feel of higher quality than art that is printed on thin paper. While you can easily print photographs and posters in large sizes, if you want something oversized or particularly eye-catching for your home, you will want to opt for art that has been printed on canvas.

Noise detail will be muted when you hang a canvas on your wall, and such pieces will allow you to enjoy very large prints without worrying about loss of detail and appearance.

Of course, the canvas is heavier than plain paper, so you need to make sure that you use the right hardware to hang your new canvas so you don’t have to worry about it falling off the wall. Additionally, be careful when handling canvas because you can punch through it if you happen to drop the canvas or try to catch it by grabbing the middle part of it.

Set

Sometimes you want wall art that looks great together but don’t have the time or inclination to hunt down individual pieces yourself. If you find yourself in this boat, you can greatly benefit from buying a set of artwork.

This means that all the pieces of art included won’t match perfectly but will have enough of the same elements that they look great together. This gives you a fast and easy way to decorate your home.
