Art really makes a room. A current trend popping up everywhere is oversized art! Choosing oversized art to add to a room is such a bold move and may seem like a scary choice, but there are different ways to make oversized artwork part of almost any space. Here are our top 5 tips for displaying oversized art, along with a little inspiration!
5 Tips For Displaying Oversized Artwork
- Keep it Simple! If you are choosing a large artwork to be the focal point of the room keep the rest of the room simple. Think minimal styling and no other artwork in the room, this is the best way to make the oversized artwork the hero of the room.
- A great way to make the artwork fit into the room perfectly is to work with the colour palette used in the art. So if your artwork has blue and green tones in it, bring those colours into the room in décor items, such as cushions or rugs.
- Think of a different way to display large artwork! It doesn’t have to be hung on the wall. Try displaying large artwork on a bench seat, shelf or mantel. To keep it more casual lean large artwork against the wall, instead of hanging.
- If you don’t want an oversized artwork to be the focal point of a room and instead want it to blend into the current décor, hang it alongside other pieces. Hanging a large artwork alongside smaller pieces helps it blend into the room, instead of making it a focal point.
- Sometimes choosing an artwork first can be a great way to start decorating an empty room. Choosing the artwork first means you can use it to set the tone of the room and choose all other décor to work in with the colours and mood of the art.
