Wall Decor

Any home design enthusiast knows that wall décor adds a finishing touch that polishes a room’s vibe and tone. Instead of grabbing a can of paint or a roll of wallpaper, you can use wall décor to spruce up the look of the walls in your home.

There are countless types of wall décor available to choose from. Some pieces are ultra-original, which is what draws a buyer to them. Others are more generic and have a level of comfort and familiarity. When you select the wall décor that will hang on your walls, there are many factors to take into consideration. Keep reading to find out more.

Before You Buy

• Size and Number. Before you purchase your wall décor, consider the size of the piece. Some folks will create a collage of different sized pieces on their wall, while others choose to define the tone of the room with a singular large or extra-large piece. Large wall decorations add a level of sophistication and elegance to any room.
• Placement. Your wall décor can be hung just about anywhere in a room. However, before you hang anything, consider where you want it to be placed. To determine this, think about the placement of your furniture. If you want to accent those pieces, hanging a collage of décor above the sofa is a great idea. Some choose to hang their wall décor above a mantle, which is a great spot for showing off large, original paintings. Be creative when it comes to the placement of your wall décor.
• Maintenance. Most art wall decorations are very easy to care for. Other pieces, however, require specific care and maintenance to maintain their appearance. Original artwork and paintings, for instance, might require the skills of a professional art conservator or curator. It is important to avoid using harsh chemicals on your wall décor. Most pieces will do just fine being dusted with a rag or feather duster.

Features to Consider

1. Materials. Metal, wood, and plastic are just a few of the materials you will have to choose from when it comes to what your decorative wall hangings are made of. Most paintings will come framed in wood, although the thickness of the frame will vary. Metal materials are a type of modern wall decor that gives a room a very modern and industrial feel, so if this is the tone your room carries, consider adding a few metal wall décor pieces.Plastic and acrylic wall décor is also quite popular because these are very durable and lightweight materials. Many 3D décor pieces are made from these materials.
2. Theme. The theme of your room is a very important factor that will help you choose wall décor that fits the tone. Whether your room reflects a sleek and modern look or is more vintage and antique, there is an abundance of décor pieces that are bound to fit your theme.From unique and original works of art to more traditional clocks, finding a piece that matches your room is a breeze here at Luxe Décor.
